Pet Costumes Make A Lot Of Money.

These dogs are likely to wear different colors.

Or even a raincoat, rain boots, or a hat.

This is so common in Xicheng that no one is surprised or curious.

But why should dogs wear clothes? And who is making them all kinds of styles? If we tell you that pet clothing is a huge industry, it is also "made in China" in the world, and there will be a very famous business in Wuxi. Will you be surprised?

3 million pet garments produced in one year

Wuxi Tianlong arts and Crafts Co., Ltd. is located in Xishan economic development zone.

If it had not been introduced, it would be hard to imagine that this seemingly quiet yard can produce 3 million pet garments a year, and most of them are exported to developed countries such as Europe, America and Japan.

The "women in charge" Hua Xie Jie, who speaks fast and happy, is known to all as the leading cadres of Wuxi rural areas.

Sure enough, she opened her mouth to talk about her own business history. In the early 90s of last century, she was encouraged by many people and became a boss herself.

At first, she produced all kinds of crafts and children's clothing. Once a businessman in Taiwan found her with a pile of samples. "Your children's clothing is good, can you make a batch of puppy toys like this?"

Although I've seen dogs wear clothes before, I never thought that this was also a huge industry, and soon became her main business, and orders poured in.

Every time after participating in the exhibition, there is always a dealer who comes to the door with a design draft.

"Although there are some pet stores in China, most of them are exported."

After the outbreak of the crisis, the sales of pet clothing abroad dropped significantly, and Hua Jie Ying also planned to start her two brands of "big ears" and "Dog sky" in China.

Why did Gou Er wear clothes?

For the average reader, "why does Gou Er need to wear clothes?" may be the most puzzling question.

But for dog owners, this is not a problem at all.

"Why do dogs wear clothes? They are beautiful needs and the needs of their masters."

Liu Lichun, a former vice president of Wuxi Dog Association, is a senior pet lover.

He is very sure: physically, dogs do not wear clothes "warm" needs.

Some owners of dogs should wear raincoats and rain boots when they walk with dogs on wet and rainy days. Otherwise, they will have to wash their feet for dogs and get some trouble together.

In addition to these objective needs, dogs wear clothes basically to satisfy their owners' psychological needs.

He said: "people who really love dogs are out of love for dogs, raising dogs as their children and dressing them up as their own children."

It is sure that no dog can go out.

Of course, it is not easy for dogs to take off their clothes once they are used to them.

It tends to view its clothes and ornaments firmly as belongings of its own, not even its owners.

In addition, only dogs are suitable for clothing.

Although some people dress and take pictures of cats, cats are hard to get used to wearing clothes.

This is related to the nature of animals.

Pet clothing basically refers to dog clothing.

Dog clothing is the same as human clothing.

In the workshop of the three storey building of Tianlong company, design rooms, board tables, cutting trucks, sewing machines and so on are all the same as the ordinary garment factories. Only careful observation will find that most of the finished products are smaller than the ordinary children's clothing.

Hua Jieying told reporters that their designers came from the clothing design profession.

In style, many times also draw lessons from the fashion trend of children's clothing nowadays, getting closer and closer to people's clothing.

At present, the dog's clothing basically caters to what Liu Lichun calls "human needs", including all kinds of styles, such as straps, T-Shirts, jackets, cotton coats, raincoats and even cheongsam.

Take the dog's sweater for example, there are many basic styles such as sleeveless, short sleeves, long sleeves, cardigan and so on.

Unlike children's clothing, dogs are not "convenient" for themselves. All their clothes are "open crotch pants" with their belly open.

Of course, for dogs to make clothes, it is also necessary to pay attention to specifications, as well as people, but the dog's girth refers to the neck girth, waist circumference, body length, and the difference between Japanese code and European code.

If they are not done properly, they will be very sad to wear.

A dog owner told a funny thing that if the clothes were uncomfortable, the dog would look in front of the mirror and feel ashamed to go out, or simply rub the clothes down.

The idea of wearing a dog's clothes is different

Dogs are the first domesticated animals in human beings.

But in China's cities, raising dogs has become a fashion.

In an interview with reporters, we found that as the west wind spread eastward, more and more dog owners around us began to dress up their dogs.

In the west, dog clothing is mostly used as a disposable consumable, and it is bought in supermarkets.

T-shirts with various personality slogans on it are very popular.

Besides, it is also necessary for dogs to remind them to wear raincoats with reflectors.

But in today's China, many dog lovers often dress their dogs according to their own aesthetic standards.

For example, when winter comes, people wear their ski shirts themselves, so they have to find a ski jacket for their dogs everywhere.

Pet consumption to high-end development

The reporter understands that the clothing of dogs is quite exquisite, and the production is becoming more and more elaborate. Not only fashionable style is required, but also practical and healthy.

According to the briefing, the products produced by Tianlong handicraft company are sold to Europe, the United States, Japan, Singapore and other places. Among them, dogs exported to the United States have the highest demand for clothing, and the fabric needs to be examined through fabric texture, tensile strength, fading and so on. In terms of styles, the requirements of different countries are also different.

Domestic pet consumption is also developing at the middle and high end.

In addition to the dog clothing mentioned above, there are also dog dogs.

And adornments such as neckties, neckties, necklaces, head flowers and so on.

In addition, traction belt, collar, chest strap, and dog house, dog toys and other extended products are also grouped in "pet clothing" category.

The reporter saw from a shop in Wuxi, where he was the first to sell professional pet products. There are even dogs' physiological underpants, which are all cotton, which sells at a price of more than 35 yuan. As for dog clothing, there are popular tiger suits this year, and a small suit with a small skirt, a blue coat with a hat, and more than 120 yuan.

Some of them are drills, and the least expensive ones are 78 yuan.

It is understood that the export of those "tidal" dog clothing is currently difficult to buy in the country, domestic consumers can only buy some of the remaining sales of goods, most of them belong to the old, and the price is relatively high.

Why is this so? Hua Xie Ying explained that the legal system of the domestic market is relatively imperfect, and intellectual property rights are not well protected. The newly designed clothing styles will soon be duplicated, so that they dare not enter the domestic market hastily.

But with the continuous warming of the domestic pet consumer market, Tianlong is considering production and facing the domestic market.
