Yup, my mother did the same, working with other NZ companies setting out to beat the import restrictions of the forties and fifties. Her work and designs actually sell today at prices she would just laugh at, having become collectable over the decades. We could and do make any number of products here, but the shift has to come to rejecting cheap in favour of longevity, quality over disposable, and home made alongside technology. And it is coming. Slow food, slow fashion, the revitalisation of craft, climate change is bringing a whole new perspective to the things we think we need to live the lives we want to live.
