    $1,200 for this bag? Surely not for joe average.
    He will prefer the same bag made in China for less then half that price.
    But even then it is way too expensive for the majority.

    Will Americans be ready to pay between 10% and maybe 500% more for stuff to make "America great again"?

    Why is Trump hiring Mexicans for his Mar-a-Lago estate?
    Trump has a Rolls Royce (not made in the US), a Lamborghini Diablo (not made in the US), a Mercedes-Benz SLR Mc Laren (not made in the US)...

    Bringing hand made back to America. For who?

    Hand made implies low production ability thus by definition not for average Joe/ Jane...

    In other words: seen the size of production it will not make America great again.

    For that you need a big production and lots of workers. And then the labour cost enters the game and production moves to low wage areas. Not really a motivation to move to the US...

    Expensive bags can be made in the US, and red caps will be made in China. You know which caps I mean...
    On the other hand: each bag that will be made in the US equals between 1,000 and 3,000 red caps in value.
