Santa Wears Non-Woven Clothing

Data realities, the price of cotton per ton climbed from 18000 yuan in September 1st to the current 28500 yuan.

Looking at the Christmas market in the eastern coastal city of Yiwu, many manufacturers choose to use artificial fibres instead of cotton to make Christmas ornaments this year.

The price range of non-woven fabric Santa Claus clothing is 9.5 - 35 yuan.

The price of the flannelette Christmas dress is about 180 yuan each.

Xie Jie, sales manager of Yiwu aerospace crafts Co., Ltd. said: "the cost of making Christmas dresses with cotton is too high."

Nowadays, Chinese made Christmas related products are shipped abroad, but few of them see cotton.

Jin Liang has lived in London for over 5 years.

He said: "the Chinese made cotton dresses are almost invisible in London this year, but the nonwovens or Velvet Christmas clothes are much more."

Despite the rise in cotton prices, some large companies in Yiwu still produce clothing for cotton raw materials.

Gong Yuequan, general manager of Yiwu Lide arts and Crafts Co., Ltd., said that their company has been engaged in producing Christmas products for 17 years, and still sells cotton Christmas clothes at 58 yuan per piece.

He said: "despite the recent rise in cotton prices, we have not raised the price of the products.

We must maintain price stability, ensure export volume and attract more customers for the coming year.

The cost of cotton also seems to affect the size of Christmas tree decorations.

The cotton Christmas tree ornaments filled with sand or foam plastics are remarkably thin this year.

Some commentators pointed out that the reason for this is that manufacturers are reluctant to use cotton.

Chen Jinlin, Secretary General of the Yiwu Christmas products industry association, said Christmas decorations should not be simply attributed to the rise in cotton prices.

Chen Jinlin said: "in fact, the factory began to use the sand or foam plastic to fill the Christmas pendant three years ago, only to provide more styles and styles to attract more potential customers.

Our association has long encouraged Yiwu enterprises to innovate in these areas. "

Chen Jinlin continued, "but one thing is for sure.

The price of cotton Christmas clothes may rise slightly because cotton prices and labor costs have risen.

But because the hot season of Christmas sales is just beginning this year, it is not yet clear how much cotton clothing will go up this year.

Since the end of 09, the price of cotton Christmas has also risen due to the rise in cotton prices.
