Ever try to buy a gift made in the country you are visiting and the label says MADE IN CHINA and you are not even in CHINA?!
Let me share with you a store called JUVE Designs in the barrio of San Gervasi, in Barcelona.
JUVE Designs has unique merchandise. Here are some samples:
Many gifts are Hecho in Espana, that is, MADE IN ESPANA. What a hoot!
Look at the video and meet Helena, Judith, Adela, mother, daughter and grandmother, respectively. They go out of their way to help you.
So, you will leave with a gift and an extra bonus: A smile!
Give them a try.
Disclaimer: JUVE Designs is not promoting their store.
I am!
I went shopping for an electric coffee grinder in Barcelona - I deliberately avoided the German brands and took something that looked Spanish. When I looked closer at the package, I saw it was made in China :-(
ReplyDeleteWhats's more, it turned out to be an Italian manufacturer!
With China now being such an economic competitor, I fear that more and more, businesses will be farming their labor to them.
ReplyDeleteSo, as time goes on, merchandise might just about be all labeled "made in china".
What a pity.
indeterminacy,
ReplyDeleteYou really traveled back in time on my blog to see this post.
