The Price Of Clothing Accessories Is Up &Nbsp; &Nbsp; Can Autumn And Winter Clothes Be Cheaper?

Therefore, recently, the industry's rumors about the autumn and winter clothing prices will continue.

However, the author found that the actual situation is much more complicated than people think.

The price of a variety of garment accessories is rising

Since the beginning of this year, cotton prices, which account for about 40% of the clothing cost, have been rising frequently due to natural disasters and the reduction of planting capacity.

Data from the Dalian Textile Association show that the current cotton price has risen by 30% as compared with the beginning of the year.

Affected by this, cotton prices generally rose by 25%~30%, of which the price of pure cotton jersey increased by nearly 10000 yuan per ton.

The rise is not just about cotton.

At the same time, the industry introduced, zippers, reflective strips and other clothing production process need to use the size of objects, prices also rose slightly.

Prices of autumn clothes have not risen all the way.

The price of accessories has gone up. Will the price of clothing rise? "Recently, I visited some shopping malls in our city and found that many famous clothing brands did not rise in price, while the prices of some brands had risen, but the increase was relatively much smaller than that of accessories.

In a shopping mall, I visited Zara, ONLY, VeroModa and other well-known women's clothing brands, and found that their autumn clothing prices were flat last year.

In another shopping mall sports brand monopoly area, I found that the new products of Nike, Adidas and other brands also basically did not rise in price.

Although some products such as Lining, XTEP and Anta have raised their prices, according to the sales staff, the reasons for their price adjustment are mostly due to the strategic adjustment of the company, which is not much related to the price rise of the surface accessories.

Of course, some brands are unable to fully digest the cost of their own rise due to restrictions on the level of capital and profits, and therefore raise the prices of related products.

However, the author found that the increase was not more than 15%, some even 2%, and the increase of surface accessories was much smaller.

Fabric composition or adjustment

Although forced by competition, most companies did not dare to raise prices substantially, but huge cost pressures still needed to find export outlets.

I learned from some garment manufacturers in our city that in order to avoid the sharp rise in cost, the fabric composition of autumn and winter clothing may be greatly adjusted this year.

Mr. Zhuang, general manager of Dalian Modern Clothing Co., Ltd. told the author that in view of the fact that the price of the otter's wool free has doubled, this year, they will reduce the proportion of clothes with the fur collar of the Rex Rabbit in the winter clothing production.

The chief executive of Dalian Huaying Garments Co., Ltd. and Dalian Junming Garments Co., Ltd., the main export company, introduced that they should reduce the proportion of cotton clothing this year and expand the production of polyester fabrics and water washing fabrics.

Tang Hongwei, chairman of the Dalian Fashion Co., Ltd., also said that because of ensuring the quality of clothing, they will not reduce the quality of the accessories, but they will be more selective in the procurement process and choose the more cost-effective surface accessories.

In addition, the industry has introduced that reducing cotton content and adding more viscose, chemical fiber, polyester fiber and other ingredients in cotton clothing has become a common practice for many garment manufacturers.

In view of the fact that garment enterprises have become a common phenomenon to adjust the composition of accessories, people in the industry have warned that consumers should pay special attention to their ingredients in order to ensure that they buy the products they really want.
