Do you know what’s proximity clothing?

The textile industry in Asian countries expanded enormously about a decade ago. Many companies moved their textile confection units to those countries due to the savings achieved through lower salaries and longer working hours: again, the enrichment of the few through the exploitation of the poorest.

Against that tendency, few companies decided to stay local. Yet those who remained local have now become the survivors of one of the largest economical crisis. These survivors stand out for their good work and their focus on the concept of proximity in the product life cycle. Proximity improves effectiveness and boosts local growth.

These companies have also become an inspiration and a source of support to other companies who decided to move back to their origin with this new vision on local productivity.

Proximity Clothing

The concept of proximity in the manufacturing process brings a direct and better grasp of the market needs and results in a more human and personal contact with the end users.

Companies focus on offering a wide variety of sizes to supply all body shapes and sizes. Plus, thanks to the direct contact, companies understand and can satisfy the demand of the less-common requirements from consumers.

Moreover, the closeness to their surroundings increase the consciousness companies have with the environment. They tend to work with noble materials and feel accountable for all the stages of the manufacturing process. Companies ensure the correct eco-friendly and sustainable processes employed.

Working methods

These companies have a work philosophy based on finding the balance between work and personal lives, the work environment is relaxed, and the salaries are fair and decent. Employees must feel part of a team, as sailors in one boat, achieving perfection through the love and care for their work.

Garments design focused on customer concrete needs and made with love are ensured to fit costumers better while providing a unique identity.

Companies seek customer satisfaction. They investigate new market tendencies, new products, new intelligent fibers, and the latest technology, but never lessening the important of comfort and ease of wear.
