Made in the Philippines

[RickyR]

Many of Clarks shoes are made in the Philippines, but the ridiculous thing is that they cost more in the Philippines then thy do in the UK, and I'm lead to believe they are exported to the UK and reimported....

Many of the products and electronics that are produced in the Philippines cannot be procured there locally.

Funnily enough that, I was in Gaisano Mall in Cebu when I saw a shelf full of Asda Face Paints, and when I googled them discovered that they had been recalled and banned in the UK for being toxic! Obviously the manufacturer in the Philippines had decided to sell them locally.

It's a disgrace making them in low overhead factories then still charging grossly inflated premium prices, they followed the lead of M & S who will produce goods in whatever that weeks cheapest sweatshop is. After my son grew out of kids sizes I've boycotted Clarks. Buy kids shoes in Asda - you know they're foreign but are below £20 a pair

I thought they were produced in Thailand & China - if you look at this webpage they are coy about naming specific countries http://www.clarks.co.uk/HistoryandHeritage_1990-present only some flannel about starting overseas in Portugal.

I'm trying to back Britain
