Re: Urban Design Concepts
^ that's a good point. Collectively, when designers and reatilers see that the overseas market is actually WILLING to spend extraordinary amounts b/c they believe they are getting quality, they can (and dO!) totally take advantage. I firmly believe that you can get ghatya quality from designers and good quality from non-designers as well.
But--and not in defense of outrageous prices from subpar designers--you simply cannot change the mind of every individual, I know i have been guilty of spending a bit more than nomral b/c I just loved the design/style...and I think that's why alot of ppl spend alot more on clothes. (in a small way i think we're lucky we have so many home-based designers emerging on gs!)
Its kind o fa no win situation...
