The fashion market probably aren’t concerned with the longevity of the product as they'll have a different colour for everyday of the week and will invest in the next 'must have' when it hits the market
And as said else where they do not last very long!

Oh dear I've got 'MissRachel' on my ignore list so I dont have to see the rubbish they post, unfortunately it doesn’t seem to work on reposts

However it does show me they are still posting rubbish

Lovely photos MissRachel.

Cheap wellies are just as exciting as expensive wellies, espeically when worn with other waterproof clothing for that stimulating sensation of total protection!

My wellies have lasted well! Apparently Hunters last approx 6 months then crack and leak!
£100 plus for 6 months that is not economic to my mind.
