Profile

 

The STYLEWIZ-inc team is a formation of a group of Professionals to providie Services & Solutions to the Apparel & Home Industry. They are headquartered in India with Global linkages and alliances. STYLEWIZ-inc  provides Product Sourcing & Development from facilities that are empowered with strengths of Production, Design inputs and Full package sourcing.  STYLEWIZ-inc is a larger part of its parent group that has been in the Apparel trade for two decades. The Core strength of the Group lies in its ability to maintain alliances with its group partners globally.

 

The team at the Head Quarters in Tiruppur India provides Merchandising and Quality assurance for its partners. It services clients by providing Production runs at its own and some of the best factory facilities available for Retail Chains and Wholesellers. The team travels internationally for a better interaction with its partner companies and adds value to its activities.

 

(i) Buyers & Buying Agent

 

Overseas customers are often confronted with problems such as alien culture, unfamiliar market/trade situations, lack of infrastructural support leading to over dependence on the supply source, various uncertainties, lack of follow up etc. A buying agency with a professional outlook can take care of buyer's interest in the following areas :

 

A) Locating reliable source in supplier country, a source which will meet his requirements with regard to fashion and price.

B) Reliable quality of merchandise he buys, so that he gets what he pays for.

C) He gets correct quality what he bought.

D) He is charged a reasonable price for the merchandise.

E) He gets his delivery on time.

F) He gets regular feed back and information on status of all orders.

G) Someone takes care of all the aspects involved in L/c's, shipping, logistics and documentation.

 

(ii) Expertise

 

Today the watchword for making a success out of the Apparel trade is FAST PACED FASHION. They have structured the time & action calendars as per the customer and relatively the product as well. The ideal of following shorter lead times and offering quick deliveries emanates from the growing concern of customers, globally about buying close to the season and working with the least risk factor. Factories provide the flexibility of small quantities, more color options per style and fabric options despite huge capacities. This helps their partners / new alliances to make a trial production run to ascertain the value of delivery schedules and quality of the product.

 

They provide speciality products in form of Garment washed/ Dyed articles. PFD garments are supplied to customers who need to dye their garments at their own end. The concept of achieving best results on their PFD garments stems from the quality of fabric they use.

 

The problem of unexpected delays in production / delivery times ends here.

 

(iii) Garment Export Trade

 

With a modest beginning in early sixties, the export of readymade garments from India has registered a consistent and imperative growth rate of 30% over the last three decades. The exports of readymade garments alone contribute almost 15% to the countries foreign exchange revenue. Total contributions from exports of Textiles constitute almost 30% of foreign exchange. On a rough estimate two million people are earning their living from the RMG (Ready Made Garment) trade earnings. Inspite of these impressive statistics India's share in international RMG trade is less than 3% which indicate the tremendous scope that exists for the growth of the Industry.

 

RMG industry in India is buoyant and after decades of exposure to international competition, it has identified its strength, weakness and constantly endeavoring to upgrade the manufacturing facilities, boots the production and improves the quality of the merchandise. Government of India, under its liberalisation policy has also moved to remove the bottlenecks in the growth of industry and current decade can see a speedy growth of the RMG industry. Target set for the export of textiles by the turn of the century is US$ 20 billion.

 

(iv) Scope

 

Beside RMG, India offers a wide scope for Textiles, Made ups, Leather and Leather products, Hosiery and accessories. With the adoption of modern production techniques and quality assurance systems (Promotion of ISO 9000 is taken up seriously) India can offer the products confirming to International Standards in the areas mentioned above at competitive prices.

 

Among the textiles exported from India, Cotton Apparels constitute a lion's share. Availability of cheap labour and abundant quality of cotton (India is a major producer of Cotton) are the two major factors which gives Indian Garment Industry an additional advantage. India is growing market, which is attracting both big and small brands/labels from all over the worlds. Quite a few international brands have even set up manufacturing facilities in collaboration with Indian counterparts. This is a recognition of the potential the country offers for the growth of the garment trade.
