Guess where that's made... ding ding ding, China!!!
I wouldn't worry about where it's actually made. If the fit is amazing and you love the dress than it shouldn't matter where it was made.
they are made in france, however i will never buy one the sign on his first shop said:
No Jews, Micks, Wops, Cats or Dogs allowed I will forever boycott LV and his heirs

actually - this is what they told me when i went to italy also.
all the tags said 'made in italy' so my mom was like WOW we have to get a dress here. and the woman actually told us that with these dresses they are only ASSEMBLED in italy - that all the lace work and detail is put together in china and then the final assembly is done in italy so that way they can put a MADE IN ITALY tag on it ( which cracked me up bc most of them actually said it in english)
She told us if the dresses were made entirely in italy they would be thousands of dollars more.
i wouldn't worry about it - as long as it makes you feel beautiful
alot of brands do this, for wedding dresses or otherwise.
Depending on the designer, what type of clothing company they are and everything.
Nicole-i dont know what to tell you, i mean you have to wear it so you have to be comfortable with it...But like it was mentioned earlier, there are definitely tons of things youhave made in china, and thats a guarantee...Here is a little something ill tell you that I saw on 20/20 once and i was shocked at how differently i was able to look at things after:
They did a special on sweat shops. Well they showed a bunch of young college kids protesting and other groups too and they also had a group of people who wanted these protestors to stop and youknow who they were, it wa the sweat shop workers themselves...Here is why: ok to us the amount of money they make is very little yes, but to them believe it or not it is the highest paid jobs in their country that is available to them. Some of them have the option of working for $3 an hour or working out on the field doing harder work for less than that. These people get happy when they have big companies setting up there. They also showed how in India because of all the protests and everything they fired all the young girls, such as age 10, 11, 12 and so on, well guess what happened to those girls once they lost those jobs, they became prostitutes.
They said how american people are very naive and its a bunch of rich snobby preppy kids who go and protest when they have no concept of what their life is like. They were upset bc places were closing down in their countries and they were losing out on good jobs.
Theres alot more to the story but i think i made the important points
That is an excellent point you bring up denise. We tend to forget that cultures are so different than our own.
i think in some respects we need to strop worrying what is going on in other countries and try to fix the problems in our own!!!

that i did hear about...Hmmm its weird bc now that i think about it, i never really paid attention to where things are made. The only time i do notice is when it says 'made in Romania' but thats bc i am romanian and my mom will make sure to point it out to me about where its made lol

Louis Vuitton's links with Vichy regime exposed
Kim Willsher in Paris Thursday June 3, 2004 The Guardian
The luxury goods company Louis Vuitton collaborated with the Nazis during the German occupation of France in the second world war, according to a new book. A French author has uncovered previously unpublished details of the firm's support for the Vichy regime which was responsible for the deportation of French Jews to German concentration camps.
The book, Louis Vuitton, A French Saga, says members of the Vuitton family actively supported the puppet government led by Marshal Philippe Pétain and made money from their business dealings with the Germans.

WOW i never knew that. But not surprised, most 'OLD MONEY' came from doing something bad, hurting others, illegal or something. I mean look at how the kennedy family got rich.

Re: Am I Crazy???
yea you just inspired me to do research. Apparently BMW, VW & Mercedes all used slave labor from the concentration camps. There are a few articles about VW making reparations to survivors.

Re: Am I Crazy???
Honestly my personal opinion is if you love the dress that much then buy it but if it bothers you that it wasn't made in the USA then don't get it and try and find something close to it that is.
And yes most Jewish brides don't use 'Here comes the bride' for the reason Wagner was a Nazi.
