The first time I remember hearing of the brand name, Cole Haan, was about 5 or so years back and they were known for making high end men’s shoes. That time their shoes were made in Italy or other countries in Europe. Nowadays, Cole Haan has expanded into apparel, accessories, belts, and shoes for both men and women. With this expansion, came a sacrifice. In order to meet the ongoing demand, Cole Haan had to move manufacturing to China.
Many companies are moving their manufacturing plants to China. This is no great surprise. Many factories in China are making high end products with great quality. Factories in China have an advantage over other factories in other countries because the Chinese factory workers are very diligent. Thus, the end result, equates to merchandise that is not too shabby.
