Disney, by Design

This is a rather interesting New York Times piece on Disney consumer product division's effort to expand its market into high end clothings and home furnishing, with barely any hint that they came from Disney.

Shoppers may be surprised to learn that these pricey and Mickey-free products are from the same company that foisted “Hannah Montana” on the world and turned singing Chihuahuas into a cultural touchstone. While some of the items have recognizable characters on them, others contain only winks and nods to the company’s animated movies and theme park rides. And sometimes the only hint of Disney’s involvement is on the label.

Hum... I definitely do not mind at all having any recognizable characters on any of my clothings and furnishings, but then again, I'm a Disney freak, so that doesn't count, I suppose.

So, would you buy any of the products mentioned in the article? Or have you bought some of them already? :)
