2012 seems to be the year that the fashion industry finally wakes up to the value of British manufacturing.
A welcome focus has been made to British Manufacturing headed by Sir Phillip Green in his speech calling for the industry to support manufacturing in the UK.
Sir Phillip was to be seen highlighting the benefits this change would make for the economy in the UK creating jobs for younger people and reducing the unemployment.
The Telegraph has also featured a similar article stipulating that the fashion industry created 816,000 jobs in the UK accounting for 1.7% of the UK GDP. The article entitled ' Why made in Britian is the most fashionable label this season' also included quotes from Anya Hindmarch who admits to making very little of her collection in the UK and says she witnessed the decline of the accessorie manufacture in the UK but now sees that it is beginning to make a strong come back.
Holland Cooper are proud to be supporting this campaign - all of our tweed is sourced in Scotland and all our tweed clothing is then hand cut and made within the UK.
.KEEP IT BRITISH.
