Attachment: Unqualified imported clothing brands
In 2014, there were more than 100 imported clothing brands that were inspected, many of which are world-renowned brands. Judging from the ranking of the unqualified rate of imported clothing brands nationwide in 2014, among brands with an annual import volume of more than 50 batches, the LAPERLA brand has the highest unqualified rate of imported clothing, as high as 24.24% (66 batches imported throughout the year), followed by AMERICANAPPAREL and CAVALLI. First-line brands DOLCE & GABBANA and ARMANI also entered the top ten in the failure rate ranking, with batch failure rates reaching 13.12% and 10.76% respectively. Fast fashion brands FORVER21, Mango, and OLDNAVY owned by GAP Group are also on the list. In recent years, “fast fashion” brand clothing has become popular in China. In order to seize the market, merchants have formulated strategies to win with “new” and “fast”, ignoring the quality of the product itself.
