I consciously avoid any product that comes from a private equity owned company because I assume it will be the cheapest crap they will be able to get on the shelf without it actually falling apart before you get it out the door. To be fair, fashion products which are ephemeral by nature might actually be a good fit for that. But as someone who's been on the receiving end of a private equity buyout, I want no part of that ever again.
