Clothing and Textiles

Clothing & TextilesHigh street retail outlets use Indian manufacturers because their costs are so low. Many designer labels are manufactured in India so the quality is extremely high. Laura Ashley, Zara, Accessorize, Conran, Habitat, Marks & Spencer, Graham & Green, John Lewis, Liberty and Harrods are just a few of the many examples of quality retailers benefiting from the booming Indian economy and the ever expanding manufacturing base there. These companies have chosen to concentrate on the established and proven techniques of clothing and textile manufacture with a little emphasis on modern mass produced home furnishings too. This is understandable because at one end of the retail chain high street retailers require large volumes of uniform products to supply their many outlets. While at the other end more upmarket retailers’ trade on the basis of the uniqueness of their products which are often commissioned using UK designs especially for them. However, this has led to a situation where some of the most beautiful and exclusive items available via India’s thriving cottage industries, never make it to the UK. |
