There is no reason for the US to buy 50k curtains because, for example, Europe does.
We should show them we have more common sense than they do by buying US-made curtains at a fraction of the cost.
First, this is the pricing in relationship to NY City. Second, there’s likely some delivery fee and hanging fee in the $50k.
I suspect if you showed people the curtains and the quality....you could have found similar high-quality curtains in the range of $5k.
