If there is to transpire a "Scottish Kilt" label, will the consumer know that it was made entirely in Scotland???
Case in point: Lets take bicycles, as I know that area very well. The heart of the bicycle world has been Italy, for ages, but the trend has been toward carbon fiber bikes, away from steel, and that leads one to China and Taiwan, as Europe does not have quite the capacity to do carbon fiber work as does the two previous mentioned countries; not to mention cheap labor. Many Italian carbon fiber bikes, now, are produced in the far east, but if a small percentage of the finish work is done in Italy, then they can stamp on it..."Made In Italy!" Yes, this is true, and there's an international trade law allowing this practice. So, will a Scottish kilt be the same way? Food for thought!
Many intricacies need to be ironed out before this label thing can mean a pound of beans!
