Thanks for reading it and I agree-the time has come to make conscious decisions abut what we’re pulling into our closets as well as the rest of our homes. We are powerful decision makers that the industry will listen to as long as we give ourselves a clear voice.

Stores like IKEA have brought the same low quality knock off product into the mainstream home goods market. Consumers think they’re spending less, but are actually having to replace furnishings and decor faster than at any other time in our history. I do believe the pendulum is slowly swinging back to the middle. As consumers become more design and fashion savvy, they’ll be willing to pay legitimate costs for better quality pieces and brand names will have to produce products are valuable as their name again. I’m looking forward to that. Thanks for the story!
