Those Asian Imports are inexpensive and probably cannot compare to handmade Scottish Sporrans. Just because their are available in the wholsale market, that doesn't mean the shops in Scotlands has to buy them. No one forced them to make the purchases but themselves. These shop keepers are just watching out for their interests.

It is just capitalism. pure and simple. In a pure capitalistic society, merchants don't want to be regulated by the government and will do anything to keep their business afloat. They will only watch out for their own interset as they are not running charities. In the business world, we cannot let our passion and emotion get control of us. We have to give what the customers want.
