Why is the Chesterfield Furniture Industry based solely in the UK?

Okay, so maybe 90% of the Chesterfields world wide are manufactured in the UK, or more specifically England. Why is this?
In the face of cheap foreign imports, why can this dwarf of an industry keep its head above water doing things the old fashioned way?
Even Italy, Spain, and the Netherlands- not to mention the daddy of them all- the USA cannot seem to get a grasp of this market.
The answer?
When people buy a Chesterfield sofa or suite, they are not just buying a couch to sit on, but piece of English Heritage. The Important word here is English- not European, or even UK, but English . So when a gentleman in spain, for example, wants to purchase a chesterfield, he wants the real thing- produced in its rightful birthplace- England!!!
