I like Banana Republic. Unlike most stores nowadays, they sell many things that are made NOT in China. They have items from China but it’s evident that they are veering away from relying too much on our giant neighbor.

These two ladies cut in line and stood in front of the cashier, totally ignoring the sign that says “wait here”. They practically sideswiped me, ewan ba parang may panic buying.

I also went inside the store of 7 for all mankind hoping to find something nice for my daughter. I found this simple and cute lace top but upon further investigation, it’s made in China US$179 plus tax.

One thought on “Made NOT in China

  1. Ms. A, looking at their clothes seems like they may be from India. I work in SG where 90% of the employees of the company is from that country. 7 years of working with them I realize that majority of them do not know the concept of pila, and chivalry. Lalo na mga lalake, kukulo lang dugo mo sa inis. Lolll. They will not hold the lift open for anyone coming in, they will not hold the door for anyone coming in. If your not careful enough pak sa mukha mo ung pinto. Hehe. Sa train una pa lalo na ung mga lalake makikipagdambahan sa upuan. Maski me elderly at buntis. Sa kanila ko lang din napatunayan na common sense is not common to all. Lol kung sinita mo sila sa pila magugulat pa sila na me pila pala, o kaya they will look offended na nasita sila. I don’t know if they do it on purpose or sadyang d lang alam. Lol. D ko naman sila nilalahat, mga 90% lang naman yung ganun. Hehe
