A recent example of sneaky retail B.S.

Made in vs. Designed in:  Did they think we wouldn’t notice?

As seen on a recent tag:

Retailers: Just own up to where your stuff is made.  Don’t try & bury it under a “designed in” tag.  It’s fooling no one. If it’s made of a fabric sourced from an impressive sounding location?  Okay.  Go ahead.  But it better feel superior.
