JEANS IN AUSTRALIA

Australia is a country that produces and exports cotton, but not necessarily apparel products. Check graph below





Australia is also a denim and jeans producer, mainly for local market. The jeans manufacturing base is located near Sydney as well as Melbourne. However, there is tough competition from Asian countries and many jeans are imported these days. This has hurt the local jeans industry and the local brands must focus in value added jeans with very special effects and quick deliveries as well. Bradmill is the main denim manufacturer of the country and it is located near Melbourne. Recently they have outsourced their fabric operations in China and Turkey. Please see web BRADMILL
