The insignificant nobody me do share your concerns too. Just to share a personal experience:-
In my youth, I often just simply buy any T-shirts off the rack nearby for my daily workouts, regardless if made here locally or in China. My priority is exercise and not how I looked.
Most of such shirts wears out within months, as the collar gets enlarged or the shirt length too, due to daily washings as well as faded colors.
A friend told me of an overseas brand - Ocean Pacific - whom makes the best designs and of quality, in USA. It costs more - $30 more for one T-shirt, compared to others that costs only $3 per shirt....I sought out the shop in Orchard Road, was taken in by its colorful designs and seemingly well made material....and bought it...
In the end, that T shirt lasted no more than others that I had bought at nearby shophouses....I was shocked, and did some research and found out that the company Ocean Pacific that was founded in 1972 by the creative talented Mr. Jim Jenks in laid back California USA, who made it successful thru American attention to details style, was bought over by another company, and to enjoy Ocean Pacific's popularity in USA and Worldwide, shifted its operations to cheap and horrifically treated ill trained Bangladesh workers and cheap material unlike Americans, in Bangladesh....
Still, my point is that it will take YEARS if not decades to establish BRANDING. Consumers are not fools....Fly by night operators may make millions with high QUANTITY market buyers, but it will be those Humans whom WILL NOT COMPROMISE on quality or at least will ADOPT the best pragmatic and PROVEN means to achieve quality, are the ones that will make TRILLIONS for their innocent next generations, to society and national revenues thru jobs and economic elevation, as the late Mr Louis Vuitton (4 August 1821 – 27 February 1892) did for his descendants.....
