It isn't my style but it would not make me feel better to insult the design as there are many JR fans who love it.

Free shipping on all Judith Ripka today.

Free shipping on pieces with an inflated retail price - probably 400x the cost to produce it in China.

I'll pass.

I didn't check. I thought she had factories in Thailand... now she is producing jewelry from China?

The only jewelry of Judith's I've ever seen made in China were some of the watches.

All her other stuff was always made in Thailand. But posters are always commenting on her stuff being made in China because they don't know and it's another dig at her.

There are sweatshops in Thailand too....they don't manufacture there because of the quality of the work.

BTW - I try very hard to consciously not buy Chinese stuff. I buy a lot of second hand furniture, dishware, etc. and Homer Laughlin if I need new pieces. I also have Mosser glassware.

My sofa & loveseat were new, made at the Stickley factory in Manlius NY.

If you buy Isaac Mizrahi, LOGO, Dooney - none of those are made in the USA.

Did it make you feel better to scold anyone who ""insulted the design?""

Hey you, get off of my cloud...

She sold the company.

I wonder, Donna, where the company will go from here on. It will be interesting to see...

ITA Maybe there's a nice polyester blouse that would appeal to the high fashion maven.

I like it but could probably find the same style at the Bay straight from China...
