Clothes & Accessories Feng Shixia, founder and chairman of the limited company, has already felt the frustration of the down jacket market this winter.

At present, the annual output of the national down garments is over 260 million pieces, with an average of 2 down garments per Chinese every year.

Since the beginning of this summer, the price of domestic feather and down materials has continued to rise. Some high quality raw materials have risen by half or even twice as much as in 2012. But in the clothing market, consumers at home and abroad can not afford such a substantial increase. Down Jackets The profit margins of manufacturing enterprises, which were originally as thin as paper, were further compressed. Coupled with the appreciation of the renminbi, the mainland garment export enterprises are more difficult.

It receives more than 6000 purchasers every year.

With the prosperity of Ya Po Road, Feng Shixia, who started from Ya Po Road, is also expanding her business. Today, Cora Faith Na has entered the top three brands of the export brand of Ya Bao Road, bought nearly 2000 square meters of shops in the office buildings in downtown Beijing, opened a brand flagship store, purchased 30 acres of land in the suburbs of Beijing, planned to build 50 thousand square meters of business headquarters, and built a modern, information-based management base for R & D, operation, logistics and settlement.

During an exclusive interview with reporters recently, Feng Shixia said: "over the past few years, the appreciation of the renminbi and the increase in production costs, the international financial crisis, the export market weakness, and this year's avian flu, and so on, have been ups and downs. In order to survive and develop, the most important thing is honesty. But honesty and sincerity are not enough. Inland Clothing export Enterprises must improve their brand value and design ability. Like the fashionable fur fur coats that we produce, they are not limited to the previous functions of keeping warm. They have been innovating in the aspects of edition design, stereoscopic cutting and fur blending. They integrate fashion and fur, and are especially suitable for the luxury of Russian and Eastern European markets.
