Maybe they should raise the price on all those 'creations' since alot of that stuff is going to go straight to ebay and sold for a profit.
If they raise the prices then they'll be able to pay the workers better wages.
Since its a 99% chance it was manufactured by someone being paid slave workers wages.

I can well imagine why you were so angry, lilmissmissy. Some people, as soon as they see a sale on...

Let us know if you get a response to your letter.

YES! Precisely. Thankyou! It's bad! I wonder if they all came home feeling satisified they blew their credit cards

And will do! I hope they post it up or something damn it!

You didnt go all the way to Melbourne just to go to the store opening, did you? Or is that really not that far?

OH and by creations I refer to Stella McCartney's designs and fabrics (as a true vegetarian she is known to use only organic materials in her range)...having said that i would hope that ideally she would have not used slave workers...but I don't know about that, i'm sorry. They WERE made in China just like alot of things we get here unfortunately. That's another interesting view on it too ...not to be confused for spoilt or greedy myself for not seeing into that part in the first place ...for i would walk the streets naked if it weren't for alot of those workers.

Well hun, i love fashion i'm not ashamed to admit it- that's just me darlz ...but i LIVE in Melbourne- i was on a weekend holiday in Sydney...i felt it better to go to the Melbourne city store and it's only a 1 hour flight anyway!!

lilmissmissy said:

Got it! I just had you in a box with all the women you described there for a minute

susannah said:

Good! Oh no, don't get me confused up there- i'm a different kettle of fish all together ...Too cool for school ...i wanted to look, feel, touch- the clothing that is- decide- and buy. Not push and shove over it all! My head was in a spin! I face greedy ppl everyday because i work in retail...who doesn't like a freebie or special offer- but get it coz you want it- not just for the bonus. I dunno. I mean i don't have enough dinero to shug out $1000 on a gorgeously cut garment to save myself (better saved and spent on somethin more worthwhile ofcourse)- so to have something put out there by an awesome designer at an 'affordable' price...how do I resist having a squiz? Plus it was to be for sure a historical point in retail history i thought it would also be cool to be there. U know i DID hope to get my hands on all my sizes- on the pieces i had my eye on that is and then make my choice...but i wasn't about to jump over ppl to get it! ...But i would be insulted to think i could even come close in anyones minds to how those women were behaving...that is simply just not me.

I know, I'm sorry I just wasnt thinking straight! I understand where you're comign from, and youre right, they're out of order I dont think I would want anything that much if I'd have to fight for it, escpecially seeing as everyone else is going to be wearing it too!

susannah said:

Hehe, hey hey don't worry bout it - lol i'd still fight for what i want- but never on a material level...only on a material level maybe when i was five but not now. Well i know now everytime i see a woman wearing what i recognise as a piece of that range (with the exception of me- i plan on wearing what i got differently anyway- it was a shirt and two scarves- plenty of room for creativity!) i will wanna puke- a girl at work saw an old lady wearin a tshirt from it - i didn't much care for those in the first place so it's hilarious. OMG

lilmissmissy said:

Definitely! Its like those people who walk around in scabby tracksuits or jeans, yet still carry their burberry bag, or Harrods shopper Which, of course, has no bearing on the rest of their outfit! Shame really...

SOOO bloody true- it's like wtf?!
