Consumers: The Price Of Women'S Clothing Is Too High To Bear This Summer.

"How expensive are the clothes this summer?" many of the people who went shopping for clothes found that the clothing of this summer is a little more expensive than in previous years, especially for women's clothing. The price is generally raised. On the other hand, the public is shouting expensive, while the other is businessmen calling "hungry". Many clothing businesses say that the best summer wear can not be sold by the influence of price.

Ms. Yang told the author that she had a favorite summer wear brand, and she bought several pieces almost every summer.

In June 20th, Ms. Yang came to the clothing store of the brand to buy clothes, but found that it was much more expensive than in previous years.

"It's a hundred yuan more for clothes than last year."

I learned from many foreign trade clothing stores in Taitung and other places that the price of medium and low-priced foreign trade clothing has increased by 20%, while the price of high-end foreign trade clothing has increased by 30% to 50%.

Miss Yan, who opened shop in Longshan underground mall, told me that the wholesale price of summer wear this year rose by 15% over the same period last year.

Because of fierce competition, retailers do not dare to ask for too much price, and the profit margins of clothing businesses are also compressed.

"Sometimes we can't sell one item for four or five consecutive days, and sales are down by nearly half of last year."

The boss of many clothing stores in Taitung unanimously said that after so many years of clothing business, this year is the most difficult thing to do.

Many businessmen also revealed that due to the spread of some tourism forces in World Expo, the tourist flow of the island city this summer is not as good as before, which to a certain extent also affected the sales of summer clothing.

How expensive is this summer wear?

The author has been linked to the manager of the garment manufacturing industry. Wang told me that the clothing industry has been under the double pressure of cost increase and labor loss this year.

"The cost price of all kinds of clothing raw materials such as cotton, linen, silk and so on has soared all the way, which is the main reason for the rise of clothing prices."

Manager Wang said.

In addition, Wang also revealed that the clothing industry is still extremely short of labor.

"The loss of labor force is very serious. For the labor-intensive garment manufacturing industry, this is also a problem that can not be ignored."
