Do You Look At The Labels On Your Clothes?

By TexasSin October 26, 2020 18 answers Last updated October 26, 2020

I recently read somewhere that most of the clothes made in Turkey (and some other countries) are rubbish and that some even contain dangerous chemicals. I guessed it was cheap clothes and second-hand ones, but just out of curiosity I took a closer look at the labels on a few of my blouses, as well as 1-2 pairs of jeans. I would have fallen when I read "MADE IN TURKEY" by almost all of them, and these are all expensive and supposedly branded clothes. Some jeans cost BGN 200 (I will not mention a brand, so that the admins do not decide that I am advertising), and the others are again in the range of BGN 100-150. I guess women pay more attention to this, but I personally never look at the labels of the clothes I buy, and I'm obviously wrong. In your opinion, to what extent is the country in which the garment is manufactured and whether the fact that most of my clothes are made in Turkey, does it mean they are fake or is this "normal" Share your "experience" on this in general, if possible ...

   Tell me, how old are you, not to fall from Mars? Globalization has long pushed big brands out of their traditional headquarters, I mean, their manufacturing centers are in countries with cheap labor, why do you think China has developed so much in recent decades? Turkey too, Malaysia if you will. Do you know when you will find say D&G / if it is a problem, censor it:) /, made in Italy? In another life or from the dawn of their business, when they were with a studio 2 by 2 meters. But there is quality and quality, market and market, if the product is "original", it is produced to certain standards of work and with certain materials, ie it should be of good quality, even if it is produced in Bangladesh.

   There are also a lot of quality goods made in Turkey, the bad thing is that counterfeits are imported if they are not branded. As for the so-called branded clothes - they are all made in Turkey, China or Indonesia. I always look at the labels - to see the composition of the clothes, etc. and so far I have not seen anything made in Europe. I also bought branded clothes from Germany and they still have them made in China. No one will produce anything for you in Europe, as labor is so expensive that it is even cheaper for them to transport it from Asia. I think the article was about clothes made in Asia, but not some brands. However, I guess they still have quality control, while pseudo-companies do not. Ana

   Many famous brands are produced in Turkey without counterfeiting. Although, of course, it is possible that you have come across such. You treat second-hand clothes with contempt, but I can tell you that there is some certainty that they are branded and of good quality, as most of them come from Germany. When you enter the mall in Sofia, no one can tell you for sure what a fake is pushing you.

   Not only that, "fakes" contain dangerous chemicals. I recently came across materials reporting sanctions imposed on world-famous brands that are giants in the fashion industry. they produce at a very low cost, and their prices are as if they were their local production of the appropriate quality, but alas, their clothes are cluttered with carcinogenic substances left in them because of the savings they make. phrases and promises of high quality, but the PLANNED EXPORT is the "religion" professed by the producers. Specifically for the clothes - I don't buy clothes from here anymore. I order from foreign sites and I am satisfied, and the prices of the same items, which can be seen in our malls are 2, 5 - 3 times lower! Support the Bulgarian economy. Yes, yes. I don't want to be made a fool and milked like a cow.

   This was once with Turkey ... Now (as much as I don't like to admit it) I'm happy if the garment is from Turkey. I have a lot of quality clothes from there. HOWEVER, if it is Vietnam, Bangladesh, Indonesia - complete grief !!! Even China is better. But the production in Turkey is obviously at a higher level, and whoever has cooled down has probably seen the many factories of brands such as Diesel and Ripley and the like ... Armani, for example, sew in Bulgaria, not in Italy, do you think they are fakes? ?? Watch how the clothes, the fabric, such things are sewn - the quality is always obvious. Avoid everything Asian, there is horror, bad repentance, nasty chemicals and paints ...

   Чакай малко, турските дънки наистина са много хубави. У нас са попадали 2 чифта и на двата цвета не им пада, не се късат и не се свиват след пране. Изглеждат буквално като нови. Обаче едните бяха от магазин, в който се знае, че няма шанс да попадне менте, а другите дефакто са си купени от Турция. Всъщност, знаеш ли, че е по-възможно да намериш качествени маркови дрехи в магазин втора ръка, отколкото в мола? И това го казвам от опит. Една приятелка си пазарува от втората ръка, дрехите и наистина не мърдат и половината са взети с етикетите написани на друг език. От друга страна вносителите ни не са качествени. Да кажем, че те си произвеждат наистина хубави дрехи, а насам пращат масово това, което не се е поличило както трябва. И това се случва в днешно време, в комунизма е имало малко дрехи, но всички са си били внос и са били качествени. Количество малко, но качество на ниво, или количество голямо, но качеството за боклука. В смисъл, да, гледам дрехите на майка ми в мазето и това чудо не е мръднало, почти, а говорим за над 15 години. Естествено има си и качествени, хубави неща. За 200лв не ми се вярва, някой да те отрови. Чинка ми работи в голяма верига магазини. Веднъж при тях пристигнала голяма бройка дрехи от друга страна. Отишла в склада и били наредени близо 5 големи кашона, върху които пишело "Стока произведена за страни от източна Европа". Беше бясна. Но това е положението. Адски малко вносители са качествени и адски малко неща са маркови. И все пак си мисля, че ако дадеш 150-200 лева няма как да вземеш менте, понеже някак си, ако обърнеш парите в техните се получава нормална за тях сума на хубави дрехи. Не се притеснявай и не се изненадвай на етикети от рода на- Произведено в Турция/Китай/Полша... Проблема не е в техните дрехи, а в самото качество на вноса.

   Yes, I personally look closely at the labels of the things I buy. Over time, one learns to recognize the good from the bad. I buy mostly Bulgarian clothes. Less imported / mostly from Italy and Germany / I know about the Turkish ones that there is a lot of quality and big garbage. I have taken some children, which I am happy with. In fact, the Chinese seem to be the most dangerous. And they are sold everywhere. There were even some of them at the "Made in Bulgaria" exhibition.

   The second-hand clothes are certainly of better quality than yours, made in Turkey and bought in our country. The quality of clothes made for Western European countries is at the required level, no matter that they are made in China, Cambodia, Turkey. And in second-hand clothing stores the clothes come from Germany, the Netherlands, England. The quality of the clothes that are produced in China and imported to Bulgaria, for example, is quite different. As well as supposedly branded rags - branded, branded, but made for here. If they are made with quality as for Germany, they will be absolutely unsaleable in Bulgaria. So buy Bulgarian production or second hand. This quality does not only apply to clothes, but also to cosmetics, shoes and what not. Don't be fooled by the brand at all.

   Daaam :) Jeans for BGN 200, supposedly with a reputable brand, and they are from a Turkish market ... I wear jeans for BGN 5-6 from second-hand shops and I am happy with life. But some people like to parade with clothes - hey you on ... G25

   Many goods sold on behalf of certain, expensive brands are produced in China, Turkey, Malaysia and others, because their cost drops by about 50-100 times, ie a T-shirt costs no more than 5 dollars, but it sells for 50-100, because of the label and the brand. Your clothes may be fake, but if they are you will not know by the label, but by the quality of the fabric and the seam ... so, buying a pair of pants for BGN 200, you really buy mainly the attitude of the brand :) Peace and love

   Weaving for clothes made in Turkey depends on where you buy the product itself. However, we all know that, unfortunately, many other counterfeits are produced in Turkey and many other countries. If you shop in a store of the respective brand, you still get some security, I live in a neighborhood of Sofia and near my house there is something like a factory where they sew mostly underwear and swimwear. When they are given an order from a company, they receive fabrics, catalogs and materials for their sewing. There is only one difference in digging goods directly from the place where they are sewn and from digging them from a store and it is in the price. Made in Turkey does not mean that there is a difference in the material with which the garment is sewn, but it means that it was sewn in this country.

   to 1 But there is quality and quality, market and market, if the product is "original", it is produced to certain standards of work and with certain materials, ie it should be high quality, even if produced in Bangladesh. It should, but de facto it is not. Manufacturers in every field lie in their old glory and their only goal is to rob the customer, not to provide him with quality.

   I am most pleased with the Turkish clothes. I have jeans that are of a Bulgarian brand Moni Petrov (their denim fabric is imported from Turkey) ... And they are unique quality, I have pairs from 6 years ago and they did not flinch .... When I was a prom girl and I bought a lot of T-shirts while I was on a trip to Turkey (2009) and they haven't changed their color or print, everything is ok. oh to say. And to say something else. My mother has a clothing workshop and orders come for many famous brands ... To tell you the truth ... to have standards for seams, if there are stripes not to diverge, etc. But the fabrics are complete rubbish;) I guess that you will not hear for the first time that many famous brands are sewn in small warehouses;);) :)

   I personally look at the labels, I care about the quality of the materials more than the brands and I find one in a unique place ... you mentioned second-hand clothing stores above, well ... the biggest one is in Druzhba 1, loads 4 tons of unique clothes a week and you always find something to catch your eye, if someone is interested you can see the photo gallery https://www.facebook.com/maxx.mania.sofia

   That's why I prefer to buy clothes from Germany, Russia or France. Honestly, I don't pay much attention to that. I don't like to be petty. I just try not to buy American goods because they are for the garbage. In my opinion, Chinese clothes are the best. And it's not about those that are sold in Bulgaria, they are fake, I'm talking about those bought literally from China. And do you know how strange clothes Indians and Japanese have. They gave me a Japanese dress for my birthday, it looks like a bathrobe. And don't talk to me about Turkey. Of course, they will send their garbage here. The MRF, when it buys them, will be like that. The fallen angel: *

   I pay attention to the labels, but in the price range I buy there are no clothes made in Europe. Everything is Indonesia, Vietnam, Polynesia, Pakistan.

   It is important to me that they are not made in Turkey. I avoid Turkish goods at all. It is a mistake that domestic producers are crammed into small cages in the mall or market, many of them went bankrupt. For example, the Bulgarian Ka jeans. I always look at the label, but some traders don't show it. It is very difficult for me to choose clothes because the risk of coming across Turkish goods is great

   Almost all light industry in Europe, especially in the West, is exported to Asia - textiles, footwear, jewelry, etc. Only a small part is produced in the southern part of the continent .... Thus, the European buys cheap goods.
