Sewn eleven miles away, from cloth that travels further
What is local
Cutting, sewing, finishing, and packing, all in one workshop eleven miles from where this is written.
What is not
The cloth, from a family mill near Porto, and the buttons, from Italy. Neither is made in this country any more.
Why it matters
Local assembly is worth something. Claiming a product is local when most of its value travelled two thousand miles is not.
