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

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