Fuel price hike Will Affect Clothing

IMPACT fuel price increase was not affecting basic food needs alone. Secondary needs such as clothing also helped to increase prices.

The designers seem to have to stand by for the planned increase in fuel will also affect their business. Because the increase in fuel prices will also affect the fabric so that production costs were soaring.

With this condition of the designers not only demanded deft in turning the brain but also think of the anticipation that the design still needs to raise the quality without the high prices that result in consumer complaints.

It's like Thomas echoed Sigar, Indonesia designer who was talking with Legal recently. Therefore, Thomas was already preparing a plan if the plan is actually realized.

"The increase in fuel would have an influence on the production of the material itself, especially from the fabric," said Thomas Sigar when met after the show "The Enchanting Culture of Minahasa" at the Textile Museum, Jakarta, Friday (30/03/2012).

Despite the fuel price increase will affect the production of the existing fabric, but in person Thomas has their own strategies to overcome them. The trick is by way of providing higher quality but with the risk of not getting a lot of advantages.

"Yes, the risk will not be able to gain a lot, but at least it will be exclusive to the wearer because it is not available to everyone," he concluded. (Ind)
