back in the late 80's my business partner and I used to pick up material in India and Tibet (
Dharamshala, Sikkim and Mustang) go into Nepal and have it all made into retail goods right in Kathmandu and then cart them back in duffel bags to Canada where we would sell it through our store front and through universities.
we had plenty of those buddha eye wallets, shirts etc.
By the time 1995 rolled around, the whole country was saturated with hegemonic goods and we had sold our last saddle blanket.
Those were the days. Oh yes, plenty of big fests. Coachella is pretty new though as fests go. I think it's only been around for 10 years or so.
