Positive, attractive designs and top quality manufacture.<br />I want others to see some of the ideas that I have and I want to learn from others; from parents; grandparents; guardians and the kids themselves what it is that they like. What brands and designs they would recommend to others and why.<br /><br />I want to provoke a debate on the state of bulk produced, mass imported clothes from companies and manufacturers who, shall we say - have a less than attractive record in the general treatment of the people they employ.<br />I want to know whether in these difficult times, whether price or quality is the most important driver in the consumer purchase process.<br /><br />A good quality garment may cost much more than a cheap piece of clothing bought from a 'stack em-high' but it will last so much longer.<br />With this in mind, will people ever get back to the idea of 'hand me downs' or is this going to be forever a dirty phrase, associated with poverty and with a mean and thrifty undercurrent?<br />Surely, in this changing world, a little thrift might go a long way.<br /><br />I am very interested in your views and opinions.<br /><br /><br />Tog Blog Out.</div><div><a href="http://www.littleclothesshow.co.uk/">www.littleclothesshow.co.uk</a></div><div><a href="mailto:emma@littleclotheshow.co.uk">emma@littleclotheshow.co.uk</a></div><div> </div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/316510713826669460-8297556620107003712?l=littleclothesshow.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Emmahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05629457594515181367noreply@blogger.com0
