Do you have any examples of big companies that still make quality products and prioritize that quality/support over growth/revenue?
I want to believe, I try to spend my money where I think it matters, but it just seems so pointless at the scale of Amazon, BP, Comcast, etc.
- WorldPeas 1y agoThe ones I'd say have high quality are usually "retreating upmarket" to combat fast fashion like zara or shein. I recently bought a coat from H&M that was fairly nice and seems like it will last quite a while, obviously priced to be that way. In terms of homewares, design within reach/Williams Sonoma seem to be the ones for durability. The only problem as you've likely noticed is these stores almost have "too much" variety, likely due to them fragmenting along specialization lines. The beauty of Sears was it's range, that it had almost everything, I'll link a catalog below, it has everything from standard dad-tools to survey gear, I don't think I've ever seen another retail store get this close to McMaster Carr. https://archive.org/details/SearsCraftsmanPowerAndHandTools199495/page/n51/mode/2up https://archive.org/details/SearsCraftsmanPowerAndHandTools1...
