While Christmas sales weren’t as good as five years ago they are starting to climb as consumer confidence starts to become more stable. Even humble garment retailers and manufactures are starting to notice an increase in new companies requiring their services and once again the mantra of the new business set is branding branding branding!
Even companies that traditionally had no interest in corporate image are starting to understand that the discerning customer is now looking for a relationship with their suppliers that they can identify with. No more prevalent is this trend, than on the shop floor with companies from small building firms to large national retail chains investing in embroidered workwear bearing anything form a small embroidered company logo to full corporate branding.So what are we to expect when organising our corporate identity with a professional garment reseller.

It has been reported this month that the price of cotton is due to rise in the wake of flooding in major cotton producing contries such as Pakistan. Many market analysts are predicting tough times ahead for the corporate clothing and leisurewear industries citing the planned increase in UK VAT to around 20% as another challenge for UK retailers in 2011.
UK fashion retailer Next, reported a 45% increase in cotton from this time last year and are bracing themselves for a five to ten percent increase by next spring!
So where does that leave the corporate clothing consumer? How do you make sure that you get the best bang for your buck? Well we recommend some simple options.

As time moved on so did the fashion sense of the players and inevitably britches gave way to trousers however it wasn’t until the 1950’s that golfers started to move away from

Its the time of year all children hate and all parents cant wait for! All children in the UK will soon be going back to school leaving tired parents in their wake. As if this time of the year was not stressful enough many parents have to renew their children’s school uniforms (gone are the days of older siblings hand me downs!)
In answer to this all of the high street retailers have stocked their shelves full with back to skool ranges ranging from the budget generic Schoolwear with shirts at a mere three pounds for families on a budget to quality expensive ranges even some of the larger fashion houses are starting to turn on to this lucrative market.
