Yeah “just one line made in UK” is a common theme - Baracuta, Gola too. I feel like the easiest way to buy European clothes is to dress like you live in the 50s:

• welted shoes - e.g. Crockett & Jones, Goral, Trickers (?). Though that’s doing good across the board in Europe - TLB, Carmina, Berwick, Vass, J.M. Weston, Paraboot
• shetland sweaters: Jamiesons, Harley of Scotland, Bosie, William Lockie, Howlin

Also not strictly related and more US-centric article about running shoes (link to table with which running shoe brands own factories rather than subcontracting the manufacturing out): https://www.worseonpurpose.com/p/same-shoe-different-factory#who-actually-makes-their-own-shoes - NB also has a UK factory

Salomon Group is also owned by Finnish Amer sports, which in turn is 44% owned by Chinese Anta Sports and 4.5% by Tencent.

It’s already a thing in Poland. You can buy a Czech SIM card/starter on an auction website to avoid the ID thing. Plus it’s also funny to have a +420 area code

I think the U.S. equivalent would be just as interested, despite being weak in some other areas. What’s the connection between condoms and imperialism?

It works for those SEO spam sites too. You visit such a site, go back in history to your search engine, and in the result’s top right corner block the website. It’s neat. It doesn’t work by default with Qwant and you need to add some line in the settings that’s in one of the GitHub issues.

Wish they expanded to more countries. In Poland I saw a forum thread of people buying subscriptions/accounts from some guy online because they can’t buy it themselves. That being said, you can create a free account over a VPN in a supported country if you want to just try it.

“People are buying indie games instead and I’m not happy about it”

I appreciate the effort - I’ve actually posted something similar here myself (for wool socks, on another Lemmy account). I sometimes wonder if it would be better to contribute them to something like https://buyeuropean.fandom.com/wiki/Buy_European_Wiki or any other aggregator (wikidata?). goeuropean.org is a little too simple.

I see from the comments here that people have various preferences - doesn’t do business in Russia, doesn’t have residency in a tax haven, is not only based in Europe but has an European owner too etc. This could all be filterable.
