They state it on their website: <br />http://www.minnehahabags.com/where-are-your-bags-made/<br /><br />And it's on their packaging too. Minnehaha are not hiding anything. <br />Is it 'designed to be covered up by the retailer with a price tag'? That seems a bit hyperbolic.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415034.post-78448949265988478482010-11-22T08:01:24.305-05:002010-11-22T08:01:24.305-05:00Brooks bags are also made in China.

They are fairly nice bags and the fact that they are made in China doesn't mean sweat shop labor, but I'm with erik I'd appreciate if VO would post the country of origin for all the informed buyers.Joenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415034.post-70146251473402738772010-11-20T12:37:13.529-05:002010-11-20T12:37:13.529-05:00The VO bike on the Japanese blog looks really nice...The VO bike on the Japanese blog looks really nice. the blogger has lots of neat entries there.<br /><br />Does anyone else find it odd that a customer in Japan is buying parts made in Asia, shipped 6000 or so miles to the East coast of the USA, and then schlepped 1/2 way around the world BACK to Asia ?
