VN garment companies are selling better abroadVietnam’s textile and garment industry is doing well abroad, but struggling at home, according experts. Meanwhile, other foreign fashion brands such as Mango, Stradivarius, Massimo Dutti and Topshop has recently joined Vietnam’s market. However, local textile and garment enterprises need to overcome weaknesses in design, materials and distribution systems, according to Chuong. If they use foreign design and imported materials, Vietnam would never have a developed fashion industry, he said. Le Tien Truong, general director of the Vietnam Textile and Garment Group, suggested the group’s member companies could share their distribution systems and sell products in each other’s stores.-VNS
