China vs Camden: The benefits of manufacturing locally
“We have some of the best clothing manufacturers in the world and we want to see their products in our stores.” ~ Suzanne Harlow, Group trading director at Debenhams.
With the sustainable fashion movement now well and truly established, there are so many benefits to producing your collection locally. Many shops which wouldn’t ordinarily stock first season or emerging brands are now more open to the idea, as long as the collection is produced locally.
Also keeping your manufacturing local means shorter lead times, cost savings and potentially better quality of finish.
