In this week’s episode of Gearing Up - I make an attempt to tackle the question ‘Why does outsourced/overseas manufacturing get so much hate?’ 

I say ‘attempt’ because it was difficult to articulate all my points, but I try. I talk about supporting brands and designers based in the U.S. that either collaborate with brands based overseas, or outsource their manufacturing overseas. 

Either way - let me know your thoughts!
