Good business, quadruple the order, then the poor little 10 year old sweatshop kids will earn more, and you can drive them down to 5p a glove !!
I should work for Primark 8)

oh you cynic!!!
We pay pretty much the same price whatever the qty. The factories will fill their production line with our stuff or someone elses, and to be honest if someone turns up paying more, i get shoved to the back of the queue so its not always worth bargaining too hard. Plus thats when the factory gets tempted to use chid labour/subcontractors etc which is when you lose control of where stuff is being made......and end up on Panorama.
Rule No 1 of buying.....THE BEST PRICE IS NOT ALWAYS THE LOWEST PRICE

Left hand only
If you buy 2 left hand gloves and keep your right hand facing backwards you can achieve the matching pair

They made me look like a bug
The other pair were aviator looking which I liked but didnt match my bikinis

What does it mean bikinis not matching sunglasses?

The glasses are leopard print!!
I am not cool enough for all this mix matching people do - you know different patterns, stripes, spots, leopard print.
I think it's not about being cool Emma, I think it's about having good taste and wearing what suits you, not what fashion says

Im not keen on the massive black ones but I do like the style of Victoria Beckham, I got a copy pair of hers on ASOS and they are quite nice, shame I didnt take them this year.
I really wanted tortoiseshell or brown this year but couldnt find a decent cheap pair

not at all.... the product is made in china but the factories are provided with designs/trend information by their customers....
although a lot of Chinese factories are now employing european designers too.
Japan are very good (if sometimes a little wierd) in terms of trendsetting. I went to Tokyo last year and all our best sellers were inspired by samples I bought over there.
Shibuya 109 in Tokyo is amazing, a 9 storey mall of street fashion... better than anything we have here.
