But now, she begins to care about their origin and quality. She added: “Domestic commodities have recently had a lot of improvements in terms of design, quality with reasonable price, so I have given priority to purchasing domestic household goods, ranging from washing powder, washing-up water to footwear, ready-made clothes…”.
