It is insane to me that someone can buy a $2000 purse made from $50 of raw materials with AT MOST 16h of labour and instead of paying an Italian $350 and make $1500 from ONE PURSE they instead want to pay a Chinese worker $100 and make $1850 from the purse.
Like it’s such a small increase in the actual profit margin it’s insane to me that they wouldn’t want real artisans making legitimate works of art “worth” $2000 instead of just paying the cheapest labour possible and making what amounts to knockoff quality “brand name” purses.
