When we called and spoke with a teller, they even got nasty and said we needed to make the payment in full. After speaking to several tellers, having to just hang up and call back to get someone different, they realized it was an error.
So, we thought that was the end of it. Until....two weeks ago. Yes, another certified letter. This time we now owe 3,100.00. We have talked to so many tellers to try to get this straightend out. My husband is the only one authorized on the account. I am home during the day. They told my husband to send a letter stating that they have permission to speak with me regarding this account. He has faxed two letter, somehow they didn't receive either one. So, my husband finally spoke with a manager who said she would try to fix the problem but WE would have to call them back a week later to see if it was fixed.
In the mean time, I'm receiving the annoying phone calls saying I need to call Saxon due to an important issue regarding my account, or whatever. I am afraid that this is going to s****. />

Saxon "Railroad to forclosure", said the spider to the fly!
AUTHOR: Figg - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Thursday, December 04, 2008POSTED: Thursday, December 04, 2008
The blinders fell off and I for the first time was on to them! I thought that as Saxon took over my loan as loan servicer from GMAC, January 2008, no biggie. However, Saxon has successfully woven Godzilla from Gecko, so to speak. I searched the Internet and to see if my fear was valid. Not only are my worst thoughts and fears substantiated by so many others, it is sickeningly familiar, but worse, almost exact. Are we all the same exact people, with the same exact loans, with the same exact circumstances in life? Perhaps we have become like mushrooms in the basement of the Saxon call centers to remain there. Not to worry, it's only for a time, a very short time. Saxon is so good at what they do, in fact excellent, you don't know where you are or what your eating. At harvest, we loose our homes, our investments, our children loose memories and even their childhood. For me Saxon has perfected the automated forclosure process. The conveyor is moving even to fast for quality control and absent of the human factor. This is too much of a pattern. I have a funny way of expressing myself but you all know what I'm saying. I have not read any other story that I can not relate to myself. Can we please join together. Their is something going on. Saxon is in violation. We have at this time enough victims for class action. We can create our own movement. Kailua, Hawaii is a perfect place for me to start. I need you all!

I found a useful function, but it has this dodgy bit of code:
if ($blogs) {
//we use blog id to loop post query
foreach ($blogs as $blog) {
$blogPostsTable = 'wp_'.$blog.'_posts';
$db_query = "SELECT $blogPostsTable.ID,
The 'wp_' obviously causes problems in sites that don't use the default prefix.
How can I rewrite this?

Get dirty, have fun and grow more food with great gardening tips from real-life gardeners.
By Cindy Conner
feast days, sustainable living, Cindy Conner, Virginia
Feast days are when we celebrate special occasions with special foods. I think whenever we eat food we have grown ourselves in ways that replenish the earth is a cause for celebration. If you don't grow it yourself you could acquire it from growers who are following sustainable practices. You can find some of those growers in your area at www.LocalHarvest.org. We need to pause in reverence for what we are about to eat to remind ourselves what a gift it is to be able to grow this food to nourish our bodies.
You could declare a feast day, even if it is only you at the table, but gathering with others makes it even better. Potlucks are a great way to celebrate occasions. Everyone brings food to share and takes the leavings back home. Too often at gatherings, however, the plates, silverware, and cups are disposable, generating large bags of trash. It doesn't have to be like that. Since everyone is bringing their large dish of food, they can just as well bring their own non-disposable plate, silverware and cup. Provide a compost bucket for food scraps and there is no trash, making your celebration a zero waste event. If you are planning a large event you can get more ideas by searching "zero waste events" on the internet. Some organizations trying to green up their act are looking at diminishing or eliminating trash at their gatherings.
You don't need to attend a potluck to take your own table service. Whenever I go to a gathering with food I take my own plate, silverware, and cup. I have often been the only person in line holding a non-disposable plate brought from home, but that opens the way for a conversation on the matter — if anyone notices, that is. Some years back my daughter made me a kit from her old blue jeans that contained two dishes, two each of spoons, forks, and knives, and two cloth napkins. You can see it in the photo. I used to grab what I needed from the cupboard each time, but having the kit at the ready makes it easier to remember. If your car usually transports you to these events, you might leave such a kit there so you will always be prepared. Read more about feast days and potlucks at Homeplace Earth.

The Next Era Of Blogging: Some Thoughts From The Creators Of Percolate
PSFK interviews the two creators of a new online creation and curation platform about how they are changing the nature of blogging.
Yesterday we wrote about Percolate, a new online content filtering system developed by Noah Brier and James Gross. The platform "bubbles up" — ie collects — interesting content that is making the rounds with your friends by scanning your Twitter and RSS feeds, and then encourages you to react to it. Today, the co-founders chatted with PSFK to tell us how their site is different from other internet curation sites, and why humans are more interesting than computers.

|Grid Ref:
|Show site on map (Requires Flash)
The public accessibility of this site is unknown but it should be visible from a public right of way. Please assume that the site is private property. (Only visible parts are along West Quay). [Information last updated on 16 December 2002]
The HER is currently being transferred to a new system. Please ask about this changed entry. {0}
The castle was built by William de Briwere (or Brewer) in AD 1202, It passed to the King in 1233 and in 1242 or 1245 repairs were ordered to its motte and towers. The site is centred in the area of Chandos St and Castle St. King Square is on the site of the bailey. There was a moat on three sides and the river Parrett on the east. Traces of the moat occur in the cellars of the buildings in Fore Street, and to the N in the garden of The Lions Club. See PRN 11839 for The Water Gate. Various excavations have taken place which have revealed the line of the castle wall, particularly on the northern side. See 12471 12472 12473 12474 15822. {1}
In 1972, the castle moat was located during building operations at ST 298 371. {6}
In 1972, excavations (PRN 12474) revealed the castle moat to have been 20m wide on the north side of the castle at ST 298 372 and to have followed the line of the small ditch shown on C18 maps. It was estimated that the base of the moat was at about 2.6m AOD and would have filled with water at high tide. An occupation level dating to the C12-14 was cut by the ditch on the north and to the south a cobbled floor, wall footings and post holes were sealed by the construction of the bank. The bank makeup contained pottery of C13 date. The ditch appeared to have been filled deliberately in three episodes. The first, dating to the late C17-early C18 comprised red clay and building debris. The second comprised more clay, building debris and household rubbish was tipped from the south in the mid to late C18. Finally the small ditch shown on C18 plans was filled with rubbish, glass slag and pottery wasters, probably in the late C18-early C19 when the King Square houses were built. {7}
The castle was sold by the crown in 1626 becoming owned 4 years later by Henry Harvey. He is reported to have converted an old gatehouse in to a mansion shortly after. Collinson says that this was in 1638 but this may be confusion with another house built by Harvey in that year as there was demolition work going on in 1634. The building is know from several maps and three late C18 illustrations, which show it in various stages of collapse and reveal medieval features within the stucture. Harvey's mansion faced the river and was probably entered via what is now Court Street. The castle's role in the Civil War, again appears to be a confusion by Collinsion who seems to apply contemporary descriptions of the town defences to the castle. The C17 descriptions describe the castle as being weak and having indifferent strength. Following the end of the war, the defences were slighted - specifically the new works - again suggesting that the castle was not seen as a significant defensive feature. Following purchase in 1721 by the Duke of Chandos the greater part was reported to have been demolished, probably associated with the construction of Castle Street in the 1720s which appears to have been designed to lead to Harvey's mansion, although later Chandos considered continuing the street through to the west. The final demolition preceded the construction of King Square from 1807. {8}

One year ago today began the saga of our dramatic birth story. I wish I could show myself a photo of my now healthy 20lb 10 month old (8 month adjusted) to assure myself that things will turn out ok. I am sharing my story to mothers who are starting this hard emotional and physical journey in hopes of giving them hope.
One year ago, plus a few days, I joined my husband and my in laws for our 'babymoon' adventure. I was 24 weeks and having some slight spotting, but had a check up before we went on our vacation and was told it was just a yeast infection and everything was fine.
We left Minnesota in the parents motorhome and drove down to Phoenix to spend 4 days. My husband and I were going to fly back home.
On Valentines Day last year, we were driving in the mountains ( I had NO idea how mountainous Arizona was!) about an hour from Sedona, our destination, when I got out of the car and felt crampy. I realized I was bleeding heavily and the fear set in. We drove towards Sedona and found a hospital in Cottonwood. It turns out I was down to 1.5 cm left of my cervix. (sorry, the terminology is foggy to remember). The doctor informed my they could not care for a 24 weeker so they were calling a helicopter air medic team. He also told me that even with insurance, the last person that had to do this still paid $29,000 out of pocket!! GULP. They would not let us drive to Phoenix. Via a miracle, by the time the helicopter arrived, the previous cloudless sunny sky turned and there was no visibility to fly! Ambulance it was. The 2 hour ride to Phoenix was at least scenic, looking out the back window...
I was admitted to a level III Neo-natal medical center in Glendale and given steriods and placed on a high level of magnesium. Wow, that mag is no joke. I had it for 3 days and could not focus more than 3 inches from my face. But, it worked!
Suspicions were that I had a placental abruption, which was not entirely confirmed until my emergency c-section. But one thing that stood out that doctors said was that no one knows exactly the cause of pre term labor, and if they did, we would know the meaning of how life happens. I guess I take that with me still, when I feel down about why did it happen, what did I do, etc.
Ok, so without going on every day in detail, I proceeded to be in the hospital on strict bedrest and made it there 41 days!! Who knew, 'resting' could be the hardest thing ever! Not like you really can rest in a hospital bed with numerous blood tests, IVs, fetal monitoring, ultrasounds, etc etc.
Luckily, my husband was able to be in the room with me for a few weeks before he had to fly home and go back to work. And my in laws stayed in an RV park and would come and visit. Otherwise, yes, it was a very scary lonely time.
Fast forward to week 30, plus 2 days, after 6 weeks on hospital bed rest, mostly on my left side, no wheel chair rides, shower every 3 days, gestational diabetes, etc...
I was feeling very tired and back achey all day. My husband was flying down to see me and was coming around 9pm. I hadn't seen him in 2 weeks and I was so excited. As he boarded the plane in Minneapolis, we texted each other about seeing each other soon, etc. Literally 5 minutes after he texted, 'see you soon!' and turned off his phone, I experienced extreme back pain, and realized I was bleeding again. I tried to pretend nothing was happening but then had to call the nurses for help. I could barely talk.
My doctor came to examine me and announced that 'we are going to have a birthday!'. Emotions of fear, relief, anxiety, and loneliness all hit me at once, but overwhelmingly my faith in my doctor's direction for the safety of the baby pushed me along to move forward.
I had an emergency c-section within the hour after that I sent my husband my last 'have a good flight' text and then Magnus was born! The most incredible sound in the world was hearing his cry! I did get to see him for a few seconds before he was whisked away to the NICU. I had prepared myself for a smaller baby but I remember thinking he looked a lot bigger.
30 wks +2 days, 3 lbs 14oz, 16 1/2"
He did have 2 black eyes and a huge bruise on his forehead from the doctor pulling him out. I was 6 cm dilated and he was so far down she really had to pull him out. He looked like he got in a big baby fight:( But, alas, with time, all bruises will heal.
Any mother that experiences the NICU life, understands a new level a patience that I believe guides them for the future of bringing up children and carrying that patience with you.
Back to the moment of the birth day, my husband turned on his phone after landing in the plane to read, 'Magnus is here!' While not there with me during the c-section, I am thankful that he was able to be there a few hours after the birth, and then for 3 days before he had to go home.
I spent my c-section recovery in my in laws motorhome, spending my days at the NICU from 8am to 10pm. After 2 weeks there, I tried finding temp housing near the hospital, the Ronald McDonald house (WAY too far away and I couldn't drive yet), until the hospital was gracious enough to allow me to stay in vacant rooms when they were available. I needed privacy, and to be close to my baby, especially with pumping 8+ times a day, etc. A *little* awkward sticking to the pump schedule while staying in a motorhome with your in laws. They are nice, and we got to know each other a lot better, but I really don't think anyone wants to be in that close of quarters for that long with friends or family.
About Magnus, he spent 4 days in the NICU, and was then transferred to continuing care where he was categorized as a feeder and a grower. I spent my time being there for his cares- take temp, change a diaper, change the oxygen reader on his foot. But most stress-fully, learning to feed through a bottle, and stop the bradys. Learning to feed through a bottle was basically our ticket home, and home meaning we could BOTH finally go home. I tried breast feeding but decided to wait until we were home to attempt again. Kudos to any mom that could relax enough in the shared quad nursery space to do it. I needed to focus on the bottle so we could go!
A blessing did occur that after 6 weeks, once we got home, my baby was able to start nursing! A miracle! We did a combo of nursing, pumping, formula until he was done nursing at 7 months. I still pumped for 2 more months, but now we are all formula at 10+ months.
At 36 weeks, Magnus was 6lbs, and we were discharged. The most Insane 'Ride Home From the Hospital' followed, as he was unhooked from all the monitors, placed in his car seat, and we went straight to the airport and my baby and I took a one way flight back home after 3 months. Worst, most stressful 3 hour flight of my life, as he had failed the altitude test 3 days before our flight, but the doctors said he 'passed' it the next day... Was told to just watch his face in case he started turning blue during the flight!!!! AGGGGHHH. Ok, but he did fine.
I don't know how to add a photo, but Magnus is healthy, happy, and on the charts of a term baby. I did not believe this was a possibility at the beginning. It IS possible. Be hopeful. That's what your baby needs most.
Thank you for reading all of this if you got to this point. My intention of sharing was to aknoweldge this important anniversary day for me, and to provide assurance that through all unknowns, blessings are all aroud us. I am grateful for this forum and for women sharing their stories when I've needed it. I felt I needed to share part of mine too.

Things were going well until an ankle injury forced the biggest fight of his career to be put back from January to February of this year. In April, Brook announced that his ankle injury had come back to scupper his bid for world title glory once again, handing domestic rival Lee Purdy the opportunity to face Alexander for world honours. Purdy lost the fight after his corner withdrew him at the end of the seventh round.
This Saturday at Craven Park Stadium in Hull, 'The Special One' will rematch the man he defeated in Sheffield little over 12 months ago. Carson Jones travels to Yorkshire for a second time in as many years hoping to repeat the kind of second half performance he put in last time these two met and to elevate himself into a position to challenge Alexander for his world title.
Jones gave Brook a wake up call last time round, breaking the Yorkshireman's nose and dominating the later rounds. It was rumoured that Brook had struggled to make the weight and this affected his condition in the ring. Just after the midway point Brook began to tire and Jones, who came in to the fight on the back of eight straight wins all without the judges intervention, read this as his cue to turn up the pressure. Brook courageously survived a last round scare to win by a majority decision and keep his unbeaten record intact.
In spite of the victory, question marks had been left hanging over Brook's head. The hype surrounding him after his destruction of Matthew Hatton one fight earlier left some wondering whether Brook should be held in the same esteem as other top welterweights such as Bradley, Pacquiao, Maidana, Marquez and Guerrero. Floyd Mayweather might be considered a class above all of the aforementioned.
Brooks' trainer Dominic Ingle believes his prodigy will be better prepared this time around, especially after employing the services of a nutritionist to help make weight in optimal fashion.
"Kell Brook trained hard for the last fight but if you don't make the weight right, don't hydrate right then it doesn't matter how fit you are it'll always affect your performance," said Ingle.
"Kell Brook was probably stepping into the last fight [with Carson Jones] at 70 per cent fit. By all accounts Brook is taking the rematch seriously and knows it's a chance to make a statement by putting in a more measured performance. He's dedicated himself this time by putting negative distractions aside and making sure he's not having to crash weight off at the last minute.
"He's the hardest trainer in the gym, nobody trains harder than Kell" Ingle added. "He's not struggled with his weight and I'm expecting Kell Brook to do a better job on Carson Jones than he did last time".
If Brook can come through this on top then he could fight again as early as September (Brook's promoter, Matchroom, has a British Light Middleweight title fight between Liam Smith v Erick Ochieng scheduled to take place at the Sheffield Arena on September 21st).
Brook has made no secret of his desire to do battle with Amir Khan, although Khan could gatecrash the party and fight Alexander in Dubai at the end of this year. Domestically it's the biggest fight at 147 and it's one that would excite boxing fans around the world if or when it can be made.

Is there any specific reason to disallow the use of
get_option_tree on the admin side?
I have a scenario where I'd like to use it: A custom user role has access to the admin area to modify custom data, but not access to any other WP admin section. The admins need to have editable help text for those users and this plugin would be a simple way for me to add it.
(I understand that normally this kind of user would edit the data on the front end, but the client did not order designs for those pages, so it's in the WP admin area.)
For now, I'm allowing it (with no visible side-effects) by adding this to my plugin's
admin_init action hook:
if ( defined( "OT_PLUGIN_DIR" ) && file_exists( OT_PLUGIN_DIR . '/functions/get-option-tree.php' ) ) {
require_once( OT_PLUGIN_DIR . '/functions/get-option-tree.php' );
Of course, I'd rather not have to make this check. ;)

When I first got to the school, I thought it was a great school, because they offered CDL schooling at such a low price and you get a license in 2 weeks, instead of the usual 3-4 weeks at other schools. But, here's the bad part. Each class is between 50 and 100 people or more(compared to the class of 10 people at my other school). [continued below]....
Once they have your money, you suddenly become unimportant to them and could be kicked out at any time without mercy. During the first week, half of my class disappeared, but not til after they had paid the $50 fee the first day. Most of my class was complaining that they still had no idea how to back up properly, because they only got a couple chances during the day they were instructed on a particular skill because of all the waiting they did for other students to practice their backing. Most students in my class learned more by getting in a truck on their own at night than during the day, because they had more chances to get into a truck and back up. Half of the trucks out there were being used by the students in the prior week's class.
Since I had gone through schooling before, I passed my CDL permit tests with scores above 90% and passed all my coursework with high scores as well. I was one of the few who picked up the backing and driving portions of training right away. I spent a lot of time helping others perfect their backing, because the instructors there mostly hang out and talk, and they rarely watch you while you're practicing your backing skills. When it was time to test, I noticed the instructors(who are supposed to be state qualified to administer that test for your license) turning around away from the trucks backing up and laughing about whatever they were talking about.
Most students who went to certain instructors passed no matter what. But, students who were tested by a particular instructor mostly failed because that instructor graded differently than what we were told in class. That was another problem. We would be told one thing in class and then scolded or marked off by our backing and driving instructors for not doing things the way they wanted us to do it. A couple of the instructors were telling people they were planning on quitting shortly after that. It seemed like no one who worked there was happy working there. The only people who are happy working there are the OTR trainers, because they get paid for the miles students drive with them and you get chump change. So, while they're making 100k or more because of all the miles they're accumulating by training students, you make very little for that first month out on the road.
But, I really wouldn't know about what happens on the road with CR England, because they kicked me out right before my driving test. Here's what happened...........
Lead Instructor: .....So, is there anyone here who's planning on going back home after testing today?
Me: (raised my hand)
Lead Instructor: Ok, I need to speak with you after I get done talking up here.
Me: Ok.
Lead Instructor finishes and walks to back of theater. I get out of my seat and walk to the back to talk with him. We both walk outside.
Lead Instructor: So, how come you're not going to be sticking around with us?
Me: Well, I used to have a CDL license 2 years ago but I got a letter in the mail saying that my license was being suspended because the office where I got my license got caught selling licenses illegally. So, I was planning on getting my license back and then going back to Seattle to drive local again.
Lead Instructor: Well, we're gonna send you home then.
Me: (shocked, while he turns away and starts talking to someone else in the hall)
Lead Instructor: ....So, we're gonna get you a bus ticket and send you home.
Me: What's going on? Why are you sending me home?
Lead Instructor: Well, since you're not going to work for us, then we're going to send you home.
Me: What? I've never once heard anyone say in class, in paperwork, or on your website that I had to work for you to get a license.
Lead Instructor: Well, we're not here to sell you a license.
Me: I'm not buying a license. I went through the classes and tested just like everyone else.
Lead Instructor: Yeah, well, we're not here to get you a license. We're here for you to work for us.
Me: You can't do this. I've paid for school and I haven't done anything wrong.
Lead Instructor: Well, that's just the way it is. We'll cancel your tuition and loan and get you on a bus home.
Me: (still stunned but thinking)
At that point I walked back into the theater, yelled for everyone's attention and then loudly told all the students in there what just happened to me. At that point, one of the instructors pulled the door closed and Ross, the lead instructor, comes walking up with security. Security didn't do anything but escort me to my room to get packed. I refused the bus ticket. I did stop by the recruiters office, but they acted like that was just normal to kick someone out without first warning them that they expected students to be obligated to the company after training. Once outside, security came outside with Ross and kicked me off the CR England property.
They told me to go wait across the street, which isn't paved and is basically the shoulder of the other side of the road. I stuck around in Salt Lake City for 4 more days. The second day in the house I was staying in, another guy from CR England showed up saying he just got kicked out from the school too. This guy showed up to CR England, having packed up and moved out back home, thinking he was going to be making money as a truck driver. Instead, he was kicked out and trying to figure out what his next move would be. CR England doesn't care how they inconvenience you. They don't even have the decency to warn you about possible issues before you get there. They just use you and then spit you out.
Look at the three women on this website who attested to being raped and having CR England try to cover it up instead of helping them out. CR England should be shut down. I'm going to look into a class action lawsuit, cuz this kind of stuff is not much different than having a con artist show up at your home. They need to be shut down. If you can't resist going to that school or you are in that school, I advise you to do your one month training til you have your hard copy license in hand and then leave the company and find another company to work for. Don't even give CR England the benefit of having you work there. Anyone who works there knowing what I've spoken about is only supporting them to continue in their criminal behavior.

I was a "Road instructor" at one of CR Englands Schools, I only worked for them for a short bit, about a month and a half was Trainer classes / Train the trainer classes, and sat with another instructor for a couple days.
However, there was no STATE certifications that I was required to take to be able to instruct people at their school.
The stuff I've seen at thier school was rediculous.
And half the original classes that show up do FAIL drug tests... I mean who comes to a school high???
I could not believe that when I saw them leaving for that reason. How dumb.
I wish you luck if you file a suit, you have alot of valid points.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

England will use you and spit you out. I've seen things there that stunned me. Why else would a company have a multiple metal detectors to get into talk to the non-students who work there?!? It's because they has no problem "burning" people just like mentioned in the earlier story.
Look, if you're looking to drive a truck you have somewhat limited options. I'm not judging - I'm driving now because I couldn't find work using my finance degree. I'm a lot like you. I saw people put out just like this man stated numerous times. People with limited options. THAT's why they've got all the metal detectors.
If you really want to get a CDL, many states will pay for you to go to a junior college/career college in the state you live if you are unemployed and contact them. Even if they don't pay you can get student loans even if you've got crappy credit. Strongly, strongly suggest this.
Seeing this reminds me how much I need to put up a YouTube video about what a crap hole England is. In my class they had 100 who showed up. 50 passed through the medical/drug testing. 35graduated the class (some failed the state and/or class tests). Of those 35 only about 15 were left after three months. I left after six and went to work for another major company.

October 25th, 2005
A desert wind blow through the open windows of a factory in Cairo that harbors one of the biggest secrets in Italian high fashion : Egyptian tailors.
Women in head-scarves stitch shoulder seams, press wrinkles out of silk-lined pockets and weave Italian fabric through digital sewing machines. They are making $1,300 men's suits for Valentino, one of the most storied names in Italian luxury. They learn the craft from videotapes on TV sets positioned around the factory floor.
For years, European luxury-goods firms manufactured T-shirts and jeans in Eastern Europe and North Africa, but they drew the line at their fanciest collections, which commanded premium prices precisely because they were "Made in Italy."
Now, pushed by rising labor costs, currency fluctuations and competition from low-price brands, Valentino and other firms in Italy and France are breaking one of the strictest taboos in high fashion: exclusive lines in developing countries.
Celina, a unit of luxury-goods giant LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton SA, has denim-and-leather Macadam bags, which sell for $500, according to people familiar with matter. Though it still makes its swankiest label in Italy.
Giorgio Armani SpA says it produces 18% of its Armani Collezioni - which pitches wool trousers for $1,500, in Eastern Europe.
Even "Made in Italy" stalwarts such as Prada, Gucci and Tods say they are tiptoeing into foreign sourcing.
Last year, Gucci Group NV began sewing some sneakers at a factory in Serbia while leather-goods company Tods SpA produces a part of its Hogan sneaker line in Hungary and is considering moving that to China.
"What do you care where I make my shoes?" says Prada Group NV Chief Executive Partizio Bertelli. Where local laws permit, Mr. Bertelli says he'd prefer to insert a "Made by Prada" tag in his products. In Slovenia, Prada makes pieces for some of its handbags in Turkey.
The move out of France and Italy is only just beginning. Fashion executives say some production won't ever move to low-cost countries because Italian craftsmanship is still unparalleled. Sophisticated items made in low volumes such as hand woven leather handbags-may always be "Made in Italy," it is only a matter of time.
"It will take another 15 years until luxury brands' main lines are completely delocalized, but it will happen, said Tonino Perna, chief executive of IT Holding SpA, which manufactures relatively affordable collections for labels such as Versace and Dolce & Gabbana. IT Holding makes about 30% of its clothes and accessories abroad. Executives say privately that more fashion brands are producing outside of Europe than the numbers who care to admit it.
This shift underscore how the developing word's manufacturing talent is improving to the point where even quintessential luxury products are starting to move offshore. It is also a sign of the extent to which high-end products are under pressure from low-cost alternatives.
Companies from sneaker makers to automotive giants have long outsourced to China and Mexico, but luxury-goods breads have always touted Italian and French production as essential to the luxury experience.
The "Made in Italy" label, with its centuries-old history of artisanship, has justified exorbitant prices. If their clothes are stitched at low-cost factories, how will consumers react? Will luxury brands eventually have to bow to pressure and lower prices at the expense of their margins?
Many Italian fashion houses fear a backlash if they are seen hastening the decline of Italy's textile industry. For more than a century, that sector helped power the Italian economy, the fourth-largest in Europe. As companies outsourced production, sales of Italian textiles have fallen more than 10% in the past three years, with 24,000 textile manufacturing jobs lost year, according to Italy's textile assertion. How to stop the trend, which is contributing to Italy's current economic malaise, is a hotly debated political issue.
"Our 'Made in Italy' has to be defended with force," Claudio Scajola, Italian Minister for Productive Activities, said at the Milan fashion shows, which started this week.
Alaa Arafa, the businessman who owns the Egyptian factory making Valentino suits, has little sympathy for such complaints. "Yes, some Italian jobs will be lost, but the writing is already on the wall, he says. "No Italian girl will sit at the sewing machine anymore, on matter how much you pay her."
As a result, executives are beginning to change their tune. "We can't be closed-minded. China will be part of the process for everybody." Says Franco Pene, chairman of Gibo SpA, a high-end Italian manufacturer that produces clothes for fashion labels Marc Jacobs, Michael Kors and Paul Smith. Gibo says that for now. It produces only in Italy.
Mystique and Aura
The "Made in Italy" mystique dates back to the early 20th century, when artisans throughout the Italian peninsula began exporting their products and know how. Neapolitan shoemaker Salvatore Farragamo was one of the first to venture abroad when he hand-stitched shoes for Jean Harlow, Douglas Fairbanks and other 1920 and 30's Hollywood stars. Florentine leather-goods maker Gucci soon followed suit.
After World War II, Italian craftsmen developed a second expertise. Using new ways to wash yarn, the key to high-quality knits, Italy soon surpassed Scotland in the mid-1950s. The "Made in Italy" label had developed unparalleled snob appeal around the world. Even French companies such as Louis Vuitton and Chanel transferred some production to Italy.
The first shift came during the 1990s luxury-goods boom. Some high-end fashion companies quietly began moving production of secondary, less expensive lines to Eastern Europe to help meet riding demand. Italian handbag maker Francesco Biasia, whose purses sell for between $350 and $500, started shifting production to China and Eastern Europe in the late 1990s. Creative Director Claudio Biasia says the company gambled on what it saw as shifting tastes. "younger consumers don't care where a product is made," he says. "They care about creativity."
In the past two years, new problems intensified this overseas shift. Luxury-goods companies never fully recovered from the economic slump that hit their profits beginning in 2001. At the same time, rivals such as Idites SA, Zara and Henes & Mauritz and H&M flooded the market with inexpensive but fashionable copies of catwalk designs, putting further pressures on the luxury business.
Finally, the increasing strength of the euro is eating into the margins of luxury-goods companies, which buy raw materials and pay workers in euros, but sell their products mostly outside the euro zone, in particular in the U.S. and Japan. Saving on production costs to boots margins has become an appetizing prospect.
"The euro-dollar relationship has become such that it has made it necessary for us to look wherever it is more advantageous," says Prada's Mr.Bertelli.
With this sea change comes some ticklish challenges, including managing logistical headaches. Italian leather-goods company Furla SpA began making some wallets and handbags in China in 2002, hoping to cut production costs in half, says company Chairman Giovanna Furlanetto. But because Furla needs to get products in stores fast, it is spending more than it expected by keeping off the boats, which are less expensive but take longer. As a result, it has cut costs by only 30%.
Fashion trends change so quickly that companies get only one shot to produce collections for any one season, a problem that makes quality control a top priority. Gucci says it tried using a factory in China to sew some of its sneakers but wasn't satisfied with the quality. Others have gone to extraordinary efforts to maintain quality. When Prada handed partial production of some shoes to a Slovenian factory last year, it dispatched the plant's workers to Tuscany for training.
Independent New York fashion house Lafayette 148, which makes knitwear, sent one of the world's top knitwear experts to Chain two years ago to teach factory workers Italian knitting techniques.
Some companies argue that they loose nothing by moving offshore because they can on longer fined skills that were once a core part of Italian craftsmanship. A talent to sew shoe uppers, for example, hasn't been passed on to younger generations of Italians.
Even harder than sustaining quality, executives agree, is managing the perceptions of consumers. Valentino, a unit of fashion and textile maker Marzotto SpA, rips out the "Made in Egypt" tags before shipping to boutiques in Europe, where companies don't have to divulge where they make their products. For the U.S. and Japanese markets, where labeling rules are stricter, Valentino produces suits in Italy, where it also still makes its priciest items.
In the U.S. and Japan, "perceived quality is more important than real quality," says Valentine CEO Michele Norsa.
It is a proposition that seems to divide consumers. "If I knew an expensive piece came form China, I'd have a problem with it," says Robert Ekblom, a London-based banker. A stay-at-home mother, also from London, doesn't have such qualms: "I'd rather buy something unbranded, I love the color, the cut and the design, I don' give a toss about where it's made" she says.
Some luxury brands are hoping to educate consumers. Celine Macadam's handbags have a brown leather tag telling customers something about the design and its history.
Others have dipped their toes in the water and withdrawn. Silvia Stein Bocchese, president of Miles SpA, a higher end Italian Knitwear maker, says the company was happy with the crochet sweaters it manufactured in China for closely held Dolce & Gabbana. But the client asked her to stop because it wanted a "Made in Italy" label – on both sides! - Ms. Bocchede says "many don't want their brand tied to China for image reasons.
Stitch like an Egyptian
Valentino didn't have such preconception when, at the end of 2002, it received a call from Cairo-based A-Arafa Group SAE. Italian textile giant Marzotto had just acquired the Valentine label and was looking to cut costs. Valentine already produced some men swear in Eastern Europe.
In 2004, the hourly labor cost of a textile worker in Italy was $18.63, compared with 88 cents in Egypt, according to U.S. management consultant Werner International Inc.
The Egyptian company had recently signed a contract to buy technical know-how from a men swear producer, based in the northern Italian city of Vicenza. As part of the contract, A-Arafa received patterns and designs. The Italian company, Nervesa Uomo SpA, sent several technicians to A-Arafa's factory in Cairo and allowed 30 Egyptian staffers to spend five months at its facilities. A-Arafa commissioned an Egyptian television crew to film every step of the tailoring process from cutting fabric to stitching buttons. The crew made 140 videotapes.
In 2003, After A-Arafa successfully negotiated a trial run making two dozen suits, Valentino awarded it a contract. At the beginning of this year, the factory began making its first batch of Valentino suits. A second load of 12,000 suits which will retail at about $1,300 –are now being shipped for the 2006 spring/summer season.
Valentino still designs its products in Italy and keeps strict control over the Egyptian assembly line. It makes some parts of the suit in Italy, such as the shoulder pads and the breastplate. Valentino executives say they are pleased with the quality, though they acknowledge that about 3% of suit have some faults and are sent back. Valentino says it doesn't have a comparative figure for suits made in Italy.
At the A-Arafa factory, managers hadn't been told that the "Made in Egypt" labels are pulled off after the suit are shipped to Italy.
"It makes me sad that they take off the tags," said the factory's 39-Year-old product manager, Yaser Husies Nada, when informed of the procedure products for Europeans.
