Reed Krakoff Luxury Brand

Well, I gotta say this. I appreciate the honesty of the designer! Even if it were "made in Italy", it could just be a handle strap or the leather itself. I don't, however, appreciate the price. For 1k and above, I now want true hand made in Italy.
 
I went into the Reed Krakoff store in Caesar's in Vegas. The bags and leathers are beautiful, but all of the ones I looked at were made in China and close to $1K.
I guess that answers my question. When this line was first mentioned on the blog, I wondered where they were made, because Reed Krakoff was such an ardent defender of Coach manufacturing in China. He insisted that a company could still manufacture in China and be "luxury". Riiiiiiiiight.
