Description:
An insider reveals what can?and does?go wrong when
companies shift production to China
In this entertaining behind-the-scenes account, Paul Midler
tells us all that is wrong with our effort to shift manufacturing
to China. Now updated and expanded, Poorly Made in China
reveals industry secrets, including the dangerous practice of
quality fade?the deliberate and secret habit of Chinese
manufacturers to widen profit margins through the reduction of
quality inputs. U.S. importers don?t stand a chance, Midler
explains, against savvy Chinese suppliers who feel they have little
to lose by placing consumer safety at risk for the sake of greater
profit. This is a lively and impassioned personal account, a
collection of true stories, told by an American who has worked in
the country for close to two decades. Poorly Made in China
touches on a number of issues that affect us all.

Professional and streamlined leather backpack
I’ve had a dozen or so backpacks to use for work (corporate environment), and I really love this one. The leather is of high quality, plenty of pockets, strong zippers, straps, and grab handle, and provides a polished, professional, well-put together look. In the rear, zippered compartment, I have a 15-inch HP laptop, an iPad, and a 1/2 inch notebook. The main compartment is spacious and holds chargers for each device plus a lot of other miscellaneous items. There are two front, zippered compartments (one is intentionally “hidden” behind the other) that offer a secure and accessible way to access smaller items like pens, air pods, keys, etc. Great purchase, and I would definitely buy it again.

Love it!!!
Color: Mocha Brown
I bought it because it's the perfect size for carry-on luggage on the plane, and it's big enough to carry several things. Excellent quality for the price. It looks super cute and goes with everything.

Lots of storage but compact look
Color: Mocha Brown
I was looking for something for my corporate 9-5 and was over a tote bag. This is perfect! It fits so much without it feeling or looking bulky. Love the amount of storage it has and I think it would even be a good travel bag

Defective
Super cute bag, unfortunately it was less than functional.
The main zipper cannot zip up completely, as it has been sewn incorrectly.
