Origins: Made In

The Wall Street Journal reports today that Italian and French trade and consumer groups are pushing for European “Made In” tags to impose origin labeling–in clothing, not wine.

The CEO of one LVMH Moet Hennessey Louis Vuitton fashion brand, Celine, has added his support for the initiative. That’s amazingly consistent since the owner of Moet & Chandon, Krug, Veuve Clicquot, and Dom Perignon also seeks to protect origins for its champagnes.
