The buying local trend surged last year thanks to Covid-19. People realized that this habit benefits society, the economy, and the environment.

In this case, buying local apparel offers many options that nowadays you can’t find in other places.

How Does The Shopper Benefit?

When buying local apparel, the shopper can customize it, an option big retail stores don’t offer. The customization of apparel allows the shopper to choose fabrics and designs and even control the logistics and manufacturing process.

Many local vendors offer sustainable quality fabrics giving your apparel durability and versatility not offered in retail stores.

Budget-wise, buying local wholesale apparel is more profitable than buying out of state.

How Does The Community Benefit?

By supporting local apparel shops, you are supporting employment recovery and giving job opportunities to the community. This retains local manufacturing facilities and keeps labor standards in control.

Buying local means that your money will help stimulate the city’s economy and, in the long term, the national economy.

Supporting local entrepreneurs will lead to innovation, prosperity, and good product quality.

How Does The Environment Benefit?

As previously mentioned, many local apparel vendors offer sustainable quality fabrics which support the global health environment. When customizing your designs locally, you can source sustainable practices and materials that will make your garments eco-friendly and likely to be chosen by generations like Gen Z, which are willing to spend 10% more on eco-friendly brands.
