About the only time I will buy Made in China is if it is second hand as in Thirft store or Yard Sale. If I notice it, most of my Made in China came from Thift stores or Yard sales anyways.
I have a closet full of Rock & Republics that were made here in the USA.
I'm pretty conscious of where things are manufactured, especially if I'm dropping a lot of $ on it. I always look at the label. And just because it's made outside of the US doesn't mean I won't buy it.

Reason: type-o!
I own a lot of items made in the USA, because I prioritize that in my shopping. I refuse to buy things made in China unless it's an absolute necessity and I can't find it made anywhere else. Even then, I try to buy it 2nd hand if I can.
I buy a lot of my clothes at Nordstroms, where there are many labels made in the USA. And I love Lucky Brand Jeans. Some J. Crew jeans are made in the US, but not many.
I also buy vegan, and let me tell you, finding good quality non-leather shoes and purses NOT made China is turns into quite the scavenger hunt! But I do find success often enough to keep me happy, and seldom enough to keep me putting money into savings every month!

I want some shoes from Simple Shoes but they don't say they're made in the USA.
I'll probably end up buying a pair from New Balance. They have a section on their site for the shoes made in the USA.
I have no clue what items are made in the USA in my house and which ones aren't. I am sure the vast majority of items were NOT made in the USA.
I have some lotion that was made in the USA. It's the Fruit of the Earth brand, it's found at Wal-Mart.
