If you ever wanted one, better buy now.

" 'All Willow cases are hand sewn in small batches by individual
seamstresses,' said Peck. 'This has guaranteed superb quality, but this
has been an expensive way to make the cases. With increased competition
of offshore made cases produced at labor rates of .22 cents to .30
cents per hour, we found we just couldn't compete.'
Peck noted that he did have two other options: decrease the quality of
the cases or move production offshore, but neither of those were
acceptable to him.
Willow Design is offering a final closeout sale on all of its stock
before they close the doors on February 29. "
