In this AR Debate, Sidhant Keshwani, Founder and CEO of Libas and Navin S. Rao, Co-founder of The Kaftan Company, discuss the vital decision of opting between local or global sourcing for apparel brands. While global sourcing offers a wider variety of materials, it comes with higher costs, longer lead times and quality concerns. For Indian brands, increasing import expenses and stricter environmental regulations further complicate this choice. Sidhant Keshwani emphasises that local sourcing can reduce production costs by up to 20%, avoid import tariffs and shorten lead times, supporting sustainability. Libas, along with other brands like Celio, are already adopting this approach to maintain better control over quality and streamline supply chains. Conversely, Navin S Rao highlights the need for unique materials that are often sourced globally, like in the Kaftan Company’s collections, where some fabric qualities are difficult to find locally, but local sourcing remains a priority for cost-effective solutions.

GERMANS BOUGHT AROUND 1 BILLION ITEMS OF SHOES & CLOTHING FROM PLATFORMS LIKE SHEIN IN 2023: Analysis by the Germen BTE Trade Association found in 2023, German consumers bought around one billion items from non-European platforms like Shein and Temu. An estimated 400,000 packages from Shein and Temu are shipped to Germany daily, often bypassing traditional foreign trade statistics. NOTE - Apparel Insider believes trade statistics across the Western world are not counting direct-to-consumer purchases from Asia, greatly distorting trade figures. The shift in Germany has significantly impacted the local market. Domestic supply dropped to 3.514 billion garments and 266 million pairs of shoes in 2023, from 4.457 billion garments and 413 million pairs in 2022 - a 22% decrease. BTE claims many direct-to-consumer imports from Asia don’t meet EU standards and could pose health risks. They are now advocating for stricter import controls to ensure consumer safety and fair competition. #RetailTrends #ImportRegulations #shein OUR STORY: https://lnkd.in/ekjrbydy
