Social impact / Consumption made in Mexico
The textile industry at the national level is one of the most effective and indispensable, in addition to generating millions of pesos of income for the country's economy; it also generates thousands of jobs throughout Mexico.
In 2019, it contributed 133,407 million pesos (mdp) to the country's nominal Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
The Mexican consumer has gone from having a superficial interest in fashion to generating a true knowledge of it as a global phenomenon. Today, with access to the Internet and social networks, the consumer is increasingly attentive to catwalks and trends around the world.
Unfortunately, Mexicans, even though they know about fashion, don't take risks and stick to brands they know and have known all their lives. Or in other cases of fast fashion, consumers choose to buy low-quality clothing at lower prices, which are in fashion at the time; causing their competitors to adapt to keep their market.
These practices are offensive to Mexican brands, which do not have the manufacturing facilities that these large corporations have, since people compare their prices, but not the quality and work that is being implemented in each garment.
Consumption of Mexican brands in Mexico is beneficial for everyone. That money is not going to go to a huge industry, but to working men and women in Mexico who value their work. That money is going to go to move the economy within the country, it is going to increase textile consumption and reduce production costs, it is going to maintain a circular life cycle of your garments by choosing quality products with sustainable values.
He is going to go to Mexico, it is an important investment that must be made, that will be worth it and that will generate a change.
Manufacturing of appropriate textiles in a national manner
By consuming locally you help small businesses to continue working, small businesses that propose a fair way of working for all their workers.
By supporting giant industries that use national textiles for their profit, they are appropriating our culture and the intellectual property of artisan communities in Mexico; this money should stay within the country and these communities should be properly compensated.
These textiles must be used domestically and in no other way; today textiles can be adapted to current fashion trends, so that new generations can continue to consume artisanal work in more urban ways.
