Would you order something made in china?

I’d like some input on my handbags.
I have my original digital and acrylic paintings printed on handbags that are made and shipped from China.
They are made to order – I don’t keep an inventory of them, but have purchased several of them for myself and am very happy with them.
I’ve sold many on another website and my customers have contacted me telling me how much they love them.
Would it put you off buying one that is made and shipped from China?
The ones I have ordered for myself have always been delivered to me within 10 days to 2 weeks at the latest.
I also have handbags that are printed in the US, but they only offer one style and are more expensive.
I’ve recently found another company that will print handbags, but they are in the UK and are again expensive.
Don’t know why I can’t find a company in the US that prints reasonable priced handbags that are pretty!

Hmm, honestly, I would buy from China, of course.
Especially if it says where the original art comes from.

Make sure you point out BIG, that it’s YOUR artwork!

Unfortunately, too many people are too narrow minded and ‘abandon ship’
as soon as they see ‘China’.
(I was there, what a wonderful country!!! –
and when we buy something we are supporting those small businesses…
well, yes, the Gov. too – BUT!!)
