Spring Clothes Are Late &Nbsp; Yangchun March Winter Clothing Is Still The Leading Role.

In the spring of March, it is fair to say that

Reporters learned that, due to the rising cost of cotton and labor, some garment companies had to reduce production, resulting in this year's spring dress not only increased the price, the pace of listing is too late.

Spring clothes come late

In the women's clothing department of the third floor of Dayang department store, the reporter saw that many of the winter clothes and spring clothes were sold.

"Spring clothes are not yet on."

A saleswoman of a famous women's clothing brand told reporters that the spring clothes had been fully listed at this time. This year's "pace" was very slow, so the merchants had to put the last winter clothes there to support the shop front. Now 2/3 of the goods in the shop are still winter clothing.

In a clothing store on Wangfu street, the "model" at the door wore a fur coat some time ago. Now it has changed into a sleeveless shirt directly from winter to summer.

This year's spring clothes are not only small in number, but also slow in price.

At a women's clothing counter of Dayang department store, a fur coat is sold for 399 yuan, but the price of a new cotton knitted cardigan is 598 yuan, and there is no discount.

"Spring clothing prices this year rose two or three percent over last year."

Said the salesgirl.

Cotton prices rise, recruitment is difficult, enterprises cut production

Such a situation is not related to the cost pressures such as cotton prices and wage increases.

"Last year, the price of cotton was more than 10 thousand yuan per ton, and now it has risen to more than 30 thousand yuan.

Cotton prices also rose by 30% to 50%.

From the director of Nanjing ferry clothing clothing company, the director told reporters that the cotton cloth with a width of 1.5 meters was only 13 yuan per meter in the first half of last year, and now it has exceeded 20 yuan.

She said that because of the worry that cotton prices continued to rise, the factories with too long and too large orders were basically not connected. They could produce thousands of pieces of clothing in the past month, and now their output has dropped a lot.

Failing to hire suitable workers is also a headache for businesses.

Xu Rong, the fashion design and production center of Rong Feng, Nanjing, told reporters that the workers were very nervous after the year. Before the workers said they would not come, and they were mostly fellow townsman.

"Now a skilled tailor should be recruited at least 3000 yuan a month.

In order to digest the cost, we have to raise the selling price and reduce the scale of production.

"We do not make spring clothes this year, and directly produce summer wear with less materials."

The owner of a clothing store on Huaihai Road said that the cloth had gone up badly, and his funds were limited, so he had to use this "alternative" trick.

Clothing companies take pains to protect profits.

Seeing that the cost pressures are getting higher and higher, enterprises are also struggling to save profits.

"Cotton prices fell back in January of this year. We seized the opportunity to eat a lot of orders and" hoarding "a number of relatively preferential prices before the new round of price rises.

Nanjing San DIO Fashion Co., Ltd., the relevant personnel said that this thing made them feel lucky, decided to continue to pay close attention to the cotton market, meet the appropriate price, "when the shot."

Lin Bao Chuan, general manager of Nanjing Herman fashion design research and Development Co., Ltd., told reporters that the company is strengthening the construction of automated production lines, in order to "resist" labor shortage.

"We are going to buy more imported machines, such as automatic folding machines, etc., which can run at 24 hours at a high speed, and one can replace five or six skilled operators."
