My Left Toe
Silk City
There's a little cruiser that's often parked on the sidewalk near a store at the mall where I go every few weeks. Yesterday I was there again, and wandered over to look at it. It was a make and model I'd never seen before: A Verucci VC250 Phantom.
If I understand it right, this is a Chinese company with an Italian name targeting the American market.
It reminds me of a bit of local history -- in the early 20th century here in Western Mass., we had the "Corticelli Silk Company". The name was made up to sound Italian. They made silk thread mostly from silk imported from Japan. They were very successful.
