Winter Apparel prices increase by 10%

The weather suddenly turned cold and winter sales in our city began to warm up on this Saturday and Sunday. In addition to a large number of new winter clothing listed, the fall completely delisting. Although the prices of textile raw materials including cotton have risen sharply this year, due to the earlier ordering period, the prices of winterwear such as down jackets, jackets, and coats have remained largely unaffected. Compared with the same period of last year, only about 10% had risen slightly. However, industry forecasts that rising raw materials will directly increase the price of spring products next year.

A large number of winter-oriented listed reporters saw in Times Square, in order to catch up with the first wave of winter sales boom, the fifth floor of the Plaza Happy Hour KTV has cleared, replaced by more than 3,000 square meters of down jacket Plaza. Xu Hui, the person in charge of the square's investment promotion, told reporters that even if there wasn't enough time to finish the renovation, he would open the business. “The winter business opportunities after the cold weather turn out to be prominent must seize the opportunity.”

After visiting Jinyi International, Wanjiafu, Jinghua City, Parkson and other large department store clothing counters, the reporter found that the winter clothing currently shipped exceeded the autumn clothes. A department store official told reporters that since the beginning of last week, sales of winter clothes have basically reached 70%, and autumn clothing has only retained about 30%. From the discount point of view, autumn clothing began to fully clear in late October, discounts in the discount of 50%; and winter clothes just because of the cabinet, and the goods are more complete, discounts are not strong, except for special products, generally 8.8 fold up and down.

The prices have not yet been fluctuating sharply As the prices of textile raw materials, including cotton, have risen sharply, many people are worried about whether the prices of winter clothes will increase significantly. The reporter visited and found that the price of the currently listed cotton clothes did not show any significant fluctuations.

According to Qiao Aimin, a senior business analyst, the price of winter clothes is only slightly higher than that of the same period of last year, which is about 10% increase. Take down jackets as an example. Although the costs including fabrics, down and feathers all rose, due to the ordering period in September of this year, it was not affected by the sharp increase in raw materials in the fourth quarter. The main price range of major brands of down jackets this winter still remains. At 300 yuan to 1300 yuan.

According to analysis, despite the fact that winter clothing has escaped the rising tide of raw materials, this rising tide may affect the spring market next year, and due to the significant increase in labor costs, prices for spring clothes may rise next year.

Most citizens will not pick up goods. Since the clothing market is expected to rise next year, how does the Yangzhou people react? In the Golden Eagle discount zone, Ms. Wang told reporters that she had just purchased two coats for her husband and herself but would not buy more. "I feel better, the price is basically within my own tolerance range. And every quarter has a great discount on the inventory of goods, there is no need to buy too much at home. Not to mention buying it now, maybe it will be outdated next year, do not wear It's a waste."

According to Qiao Aimin's analysis, the current disposable income of Yangzhou citizens is mostly at the level of the Xiaokang line, and the fashion and quality requirements of the clothing are relatively high. Therefore, it is unlikely that the goods will be sold. Reporter Ma Jin (Source: Yangzhou Evening News)
