I usually love reading about someones special interests but just feels like this guy is overcompensating and feigning an admiration for some bygone era of crafts work that obviously still exists but can't compare to buying a handbag for a price you can afford, all so they can dunk on the asians making their clothes

But there’s another way to appreciate fashion—through craft. It’s not about how well something performs or what it communicates. Instead, it’s about valuing the skill, time, and intention embedded in the object itself, even if no one else cares or recognizes those qualities

who motherfucker, who is appreciating fashion through craft that aren't already hobbyist tailors

I think this is because they do not see POC as skilled. When people who arent white do skillful things its just them "copying" or "ripping off" white people in the eyes of people like this. It can't compute in their heads that Chinese people are by and large more skilled than their western counterparts.
