Use less cotton cloth in new spring clothes

Yesterday, Miss Li bought a new spring dress in the shopping mall. She found that it was becoming more and more difficult to buy a pure cotton jacket now.

"For a long time, I haven't bought a thin coat of pure cotton, mostly other materials," she said.

In the end, she bought a PU imitation leather jacket for three hundred and fifty yuan, completely without cotton ingredients.

The label on the leather label shows that the fabric and lining are all made of chemical fiber.

And her friends bought similar models last year at the counter.

In the clothing counters such as Qun Guang square and Asia trade, only a few of the thin spring coat that reporters saw were listed, the pure cotton texture was very few, and all brands launched leather coat, and added chiffon and other chemical fiber materials on the clothes.

The salesmen said that the price of cotton cloth was rising, so cotton clothes were very few. Even the pure cotton jersey had increased by about 20% this year.

It is understood that since last year, the domestic cotton market has been on the high side.

Cotton production has also led to imbalance between supply and demand, coupled with the unstable mentality of cotton processing enterprises, to a certain extent, helped to raise cotton prices.

Summer wear increased by an average of 10%.

Chen Fei, the head of Wuhan Rong Rong costumes, has just finished the summer clothing ordering meeting. He told reporters that the average price of the summer wear increased by 15% this year, and that of an ordinary chiffon skirt was around 400 yuan.

Chen Fei said that leisure money is mainly made of cotton fabric, and fashion CICAD is mainly made of chiffon, knitted and other chemical fiber materials. Cotton prices are rising this year, driving up the price of cotton cloth. At the same time, the price of oil is rising, the price of chemical fiber is increased, and the average amount of chemical fiber cloth is increased by 10%.

At present, the company's chemical fiber fabrics account for more than 80%.

The views of Wuhan's pure Qi costumes are consistent with the above views.

In addition, he said that the cost of making a summer dress was 15 yuan last year, while the cost of raw materials rose while labor costs also rose.

This year rose to 18 yuan.

Some garment factories say their front-line employees are up 30% annually.

Huang Xin, Minister of apparel procurement in Taihe, Wuhan, said cotton prices rose by 30%.

The average price of raw materials, chemical fiber and cotton cloth increased by 20%, while the price of Taihe part increased by 10%.

Huang Xin said that summer clothing is comfortable to use pure cotton to absorb sweat, but due to excessive growth, many manufacturers use Tencel cotton and polyester cotton instead of natural cotton.

Huang Xingang came back from a business trip in Haining, Zhejiang. He said that not only the price of the summer increased, but also the price of the main material of the next autumn and winter was up 30%, and it was rather scarce.

Fur is mainly from abroad. At the moment, foreign environmental awareness is increasing and supply is scarce.

Wuhan textile industry and trade related people said that this year, with the rise of raw materials and labor costs, many garment factories will deliberately visit their peers before pricing, and the overall increase in summer wear is 10%.
