Expensive things are made in sweat shops too! This same topic was discussed ad nauseum a few months ago. I'm starting to wonder if the people who paid top dollar for Gucci, DKNY, etc. are made to feel very stupid when someone sports a knockoff they bought for $25! Wouldn't surprise me.

Juan, DKNY (Donna Karan New York) is her mass market brand. I wouldn't be surprised if it is made in a sweatshop either. She licenses her name to different manufacterers for a cut. The high end designers work is quality. Next time you are in a nice department store check out the nice bags. You can tell the difference.

I buy watches on Canal Street whenever I am in NYC. They last exactly two years, and by that time, I am so sick of them I don't care. I never pay more than $20 for them. I got the most amazing "diamond" earrings that even the guy at the jewelry store admired. They are probably 2 carat size and were $6. As for the handbags, I am pretty rough on them, as I use them as briefcases/handbags, and since they go out of style so quickly, I would rather pay $40 on Canal Street than $400 on Fifth Avenue.
