Not really, Fila International has been sold to many parties and its most current owner is from Korea. They're based in Korea now.

Anyone know where are Massimo Dutti leather products made? Quite expensive here but belong to same group as Zara and Berskha. I know it is a spanish brand but wondering if the leather bags are made in China.

Padini- Hit and miss for me. Bought a shirt that cnt be ironed, a shirt which its button came off after a month. but some of the shirts are okay for the price. Can't complain.

Obermain- shit brand. bought a shoe to bring to NZ hoping that its gonna keep my feet warm and comfy. Ended up replacing it with a hush puppy shoe at the same price that is much more comfy and warm

Bonia- got my first expensive wallet as a gift. really love the feel and quality of the leather. oh, and the smell wink.gif

Polo Haus- We don't have RL in sabah, so we always thought RL=PH. So much that i made a fool outta myself complaining about the RL prices -.-

Most likely yes. Even Bally or HB or RL sneakers are made in China, or to put it subtly, PRC.

Never owned a pedro before. what's it like in terms of quality. From the feel of it, pretty much like local shoes ex. santa barbara, polo, aka. shopping mall shoes category.

Any opinion on the quality is welcome.

Quality is rather acceptable for its affordable price. Made in China after all, can't expect much. Better than paying more with Aldo & still Made in China with comparable quality.

Thanks for input guys, regarding pedro. Usually when I walk into any shop, I like to touch and feel the shoes. And Pedro, in particular feels very weird to the touch. Hard to bend as well.

Oh, and the price not cheap. Around 300-400 nowadays.

Valentino rudy is just a piece of shit brand. The shoes that I used lightly for 8 months has a huge tear on the side of it now. The Japanese (valentino rudy) tried to rip off from the original Valentino (Italian) brand, and from the looks of it, failed miserably.
