Winter quilt: Italy vs China
Last week it started being a bit cool at home, so I went out in search of a quilt. I made a quick search on the yellow pages, but as Ikea was on the way home I stopped there while coming back from work.
Usually I always tried to avoid Ikea and the idea of "one same home for all", so I entered the shop suspiciously while telling myself: I swear that I won't get out of here with a Chinese quilt, even if it would mean to go get an Italian one at 300€ in a proper shop!
But then I had a look at each single quilt and found out that while the synthetic ones were made in East Europe, all the feather ones (which we wanted) were coming from duck eating China. So you may well think that I turned back and walked out of Ikea.
But... not quite, because then price stepped in: a double bed feather quilt was 35€ only!!!
So what did I do?
I'm sure you already know.
The battle against China is every day harder.
Sleep sweet dreams,
Nic
