Entering the middle and late 11 months, the temperature dropped suddenly in the north and cotton clothing sales entered the peak season. But this winter Cotton wear market The high price is a deterrent to most consumers.

Consumers are puzzled: Cotton price There has been a big dive this autumn, but why did it not bring a chain reaction to the clothing market? Why did the price of cotton clothes not rise?

This winter, clothing is rising.

Recently, in Taiyuan Liu Xiang commercial street, businesses have played a discount rebate slogan, but did not arouse. Consumer Enthusiasm. "This year's winter clothing prices are more fierce than last year. Most of the gains are between 10% and 20%. Obviously, there is a lot less people buying clothes this year," said a shopping guide at a well-known brand store in Maoye department store.

Looking at the major shopping malls, the price of cotton clothes has risen from hundreds of dollars to thousands of yuan. A woman who was shopping in the mall said: "last year's brand clothing was not so expensive. A cotton padded with a quality and style was almost one thousand yuan."

Besides the brand clothing, some ordinary cotton clothes also follow up. In the "rat Street" in Tongluowan, a short red cotton padded dress is priced at 750 yuan. Last year, the similar style and quality cotton padded clothes were generally priced at about 200 yuan on the Internet.

Cotton price "dive" barrier cotton padded price rise

Since last year, the sharp rise and fall of cotton prices has become the focus of attention.

Now, at the peak of the new cotton market, affected by the continuous decline of the domestic cotton spot market spanaction price, in the main cotton producing areas such as Yuncheng and Linfen, Shanxi, the purchase price of seed cotton market has been declining. According to China cotton trading network information, in November 1st, the purchase price of Linfen grade 4 seed cotton was 6.8 yuan / kg, which is close to the low level in 2010.

The downturn in the cotton market is hard to pin down the price rise of the downstream winter clothing.

In fact, the fluctuation of cotton prices will only affect the cost of making costumes, and there is a big gap between the cost price and terminal price. A salesperson in Taiyuan Hui Du Department told the author, "most garments are usually about 30% of the retail price."

70% where does the price difference come from?

So, what links to absorb the difference between the 70%?

A Taobao clothing wholesaler told the author, "now the ingredients of clothing cotton are not many, and more garments are made of nylon, spandex, hemp and all kinds of fibers. Nowadays, prices are soaring, the cost of intermediate links in clothing production is rising, workers' labor costs are rising, packaging costs are going up, freight rates are going up and so on, so it is inevitable that the sales terminal prices will rise. Even if it is also useful for cotton clothing, the drop in cotton prices will affect a little, but it is not enough to reverse the overall situation of rising prices.

The above Taobao merchants also said, "we belong to the wholesale shop, the clothing price is low, but the price of the store will be doubled. After all, they have store fees, employment fees, freight charges, and so on. They also need to make money. The difference between them is inevitable."

Taiyuan white pigeon Clothing Co., Ltd., one of the heads of the company said, "now the textile company is not a new purchase of cotton, most of the cotton boom last year when the acquisition, so a lot of cotton hoarding. The cotton material that our company uses now is the stockpiling of the cotton price when the cotton price rose last year, so now the cotton price has dropped, and it is also difficult to quickly reflect the product of the company, let alone the terminal market.

In addition, the responsible person also said that their stockpile is running out. If cotton prices continue to be callback, they will reduce their costs. Other clothing factories should be similar to their counterparts. Therefore, the impact of the fall in cotton prices may be reflected in the clothing market next spring.
