    Like those little buttons inside nice women's blouses that keep bra straps in place, or bags that come in another dust bag for protection.. what else you got?

    Product of Switzerland written on it.

    Mark Corrigan likes the places that serve asymmetrical pizzas, which he finds indicate quality.

    Have to say I agree.

    And clothes that are wrapped in tissue paper before being put in to the bag :)

    A soft slow but firm closing action. Like that of a well engineered car.

    Whether material or human; when it holds its looks with a certain grace, and looks better for the aging over numerous decades.

    Anything else is tacky trash.

    When your middle finger is still dry after using 3 ply to wipe your hole, quality right there.

    A pull chain Armitage Shanks toilet. A classic of Victorian design and engineering. Never been bettered to be honest.

    Doesn't have a brand name in large letters across it. That would be discreet if there at all.

    I'm not sure that is as true as it once was. The Japanese fell for the trap of trying to compete with their Korean and Chinese neighbours on price, and it hasn't really served them well.

    In fairness, and as expected, they have recognised that, and are trying to move back up the value chain in terms of producing premium products at premium prices. The Japanese themselves have a deep antipathy towards buying something new just for the sake of it. It turns out that their largest new market for quality goods such as knives, medical equipment, cameras, high-end fashion, and precision engineering products is China.

    The only time I've ever had the misfortune of touching an apple product was when I was on work experience several moons ago.

    Had to visit my GP afterwards.

    A lot of people say the quality is gone

    But it's still written on the tin

    A man who has most obviously never lived or been to Japan. They throw out everything and buy new all of the time. From houses to cars. Everything has a limited time span and will be thrown out even though is practically new. Skips full to the brim with perfectly usable items. Consumerism gone crazy

    When you use something that does exactly what it says. Put it away for weeks / months and it still works like new.

    The shoe-box isn't a flip-top job but rather a sleeve with a fabric handle that can be carried. When you slide open the drawer-like compartment inside are a pair of hand stitched brogues that are attired in individual cloth pouches. The corners of the inside heels are cut away at an angle to alleviate the uncomfortable sensation you feel in your instep when your weight is shifted to the inside of the foot.

    When it comes with a lifetime guarantee.

    When it has a "By Appointment to" the Royal household.

    Scandinavian design that's not for the mass market. Bonus points if it's handmade too.

    Handmade Italian meatballs are better than Swedish ones, imo.

    Of course he's never been to Japan, he's just a parody account.

    Lots of products carry metal or concrete inserts to add weight. Like Beats headphones


    My personal favourite is still the Chinese Magical Hard Drives from 2011
