Amazing. I wonder how many of them would still sign, if they had known what was to come. John Hart's story in particular is touching, his 13 (!) children vanished (!!).

They had already promised to abide by the terms of the license in force at the moment it was agreed to, so the fact that they promised not to do something does not stop them, apparently.

I mean, for clothing it is. I do not associate logos with wealth. I've seen plenty of people who have very little money wearing logos, but none wearing Loro Piana.
