Brice M and Kathy Van Zeeland

I pulled out a pair of Bruce’s sandals (I liked his designs) and thought what are they doing with their money. He got into real estate development (flipping in BHills) and according to Instagram they live in Caribbean / South of France LA NYC etc
Do you ever think of how rich these people are getting off our purchases?

No...they were running a business, so if people purchased their products the money was earned in an honest way, more powerto them....  I did not contribute to their business....I did not like her bags.

No, I don’t give them a thought. It isn’t important to me.

I give credit to people who can make a good/excellent living as long as it is done honestly.  I never made a purchase of their items as they were not my style or price range.

It's spelled Capitalism.  They were smart and started a handbag business, they saw the styles changing and rather than stick around and watch the bottom drop out, sold it to Li + Fung and made a tidy profit, then turned to Real Estate and made even more $$$

No, that never crosses my mind.   Bruce and Kathy worked for their money and they did not get rich from the 5 or 6 KVZ bags that I bought....LOL

@springers  Those two literally came up with merchandise, sold it and disappeared.  Her handbags were pretty ugly too but she had a gimmick (vegan). lol  Made her rich.
