Taiyuan: The Price Of Winter Clothing Rises&Nbsp; High Prices Make The City Popular But Fail

As the weather gets colder and colder day by day, the winter clothes of major shopping malls and clothing stores in the capital of Shanxi Province are also on the market on a large scale. The reporter's visit found that the price of winter clothing rose by about 20% this year, and the high price of thousands of yuan at every turn made the city popular.

Last year's discounted winter clothes will return to the original price this year

On the 29th, Ms. Zhang, a citizen, saw a wool overcoat she had tried last winter when she was shopping for clothes in a large shopping center in Liuxiang. When asked about the price, she was surprised. It turns out that this dress was "80 yuan less than 200 yuan" last winter, and only 1540 yuan can be bought at the original price of 2500 yuan. Now, the old coat has recovered its original price of 2500 yuan.

"Everything has gone up in price, can clothes not go up? Besides, our clothes are classic hot sellers, and there is no problem of being out of date." The salesperson said plausibly. The reporter's visit found that the price of winter clothing rose generally this year. Many famous brands' winter coats cost about 2000 yuan, even some short coats cost nearly 1000 yuan. Whether it is the brand counter in the mall or the fashion shop on the street, the newly launched winter clothes are rarely discounted. A shopkeeper said, "The obvious discount may not appear for the time being. Until New Year's Day, the discount may be larger."

Popular down jacket is neglected this year

The reporter found that this year's winter clothes seem to favor "cotton padded clothes" with good quality and low price, compared with the situation that down jackets are piled up in shopping malls and clothing stores in previous years. In many clothing counters, the situation that the down jacket dominated the world in the past has now been equally divided by cotton padded clothes. "This year, the price of brand down jackets is too expensive. In addition to the cost of opening our store, the sales price of nearly ordered down jackets is 1000 yuan. Most customers in the store can't accept this price. Besides, as long as there is one piece that can't be sold, it will be thrown into their hands, which is not a good deal." The owner of a clothing store told reporters frankly. In comparison, cotton padded clothes worth several hundred yuan are much cheaper. So this year, she bought a large number of fashionable cotton padded clothes with inexpensive styles, which were welcomed by many young girls. The reporter found that this situation is very common. Even in some clothing stores focusing on down jackets, the shopkeeper also reduced the sales of large brands of down jackets, and coincidentally chose brands with lower popularity.

"Influenced by the rising cost of raw materials and labor, the purchase price of down jackets has risen by about 20% this year." Several clothing operators admitted that due to the high purchase price this year, most down jackets are sold at the original price without discount.
