PE 4/29 Responsible Handbags

I've been looking over these comment cards from our showcase event last week, and it looks like our handbags are going to sell like hotcakes!
* sell like hotcakes: to be popular product with strong sales
ex> These bracelets started to sell like hotcakes when Beyonce wore one to the Grammy awards.

That’s really exciting. We just have to find a way to manufacture them so that our business can stay in the black. Have you looked into where we can have them made?
* in the black: profitable; economically viable
ex> Last summer’s heat wave helped the beverage company stay in the black.

Yes I have, and there’s a plethora of options from all over the world. It’s going to be challenging to make a decision. What are our main criteria?
* plethora: a large or excessive amount
ex> A plethora of makeup containers covered the entire surface of the bathroom counter.
ex> Her writing is good, although some of her sentences contain a plethora of adjectives.

First and foremost, it has to be somewhere with cheap labor. Our designs are quite elaborate, so we can’t be paying through the nose to have them made.
* first and foremost: primarily; most importantly
ex> First and foremost, let’s get these kids into a shelter so they can dry off.
* pay through the nose: to pay an excessive amount
ex> You have to pay through the nose if you want a good bottle of wine in a restaurant.
ex> He has an impressive coin collection, but he paid through the nose for some of them.
