The Overall Cost Of Leather Products Increased By More Than 30% In Winter.

Analysis of the industry, compared with the same period last year, the overall cost of leather products increased by more than 30%.

What is interesting is that the price of leather raw materials is largely due to the high price of meat.

Winter boots prices enter the four figure Era

The weather is getting cold, and winter boots are on sale.

However, the expensive price has "poured cold water on consumers".

In December 6th, the reporters visited various shopping malls and found that the prices of new winter boots, such as ECCO, BELLE, Tata, Teenmix, and other famous brands, were almost 2000 yuan, and the price of "two thousand big ones" was 2699 yuan and 2900 yuan respectively. The price of the new winter boots was almost the same as that of ECCO.

"Boots are really expensive. They go empty handed after several visits."

Changsha resident Zhu Xiaobing complained that she bought a pair of BELLE's short boots at Wangfujing department store the year before, when the price was only 353 yuan.

Looking at this year, almost all brands have a discount price of over $700 for short boots, while warm winter boots sell four digits, and two thousand or three thousand yuan can be found everywhere.

Besides, the winter boots of street shoe shops are also much more expensive.

In a women's shoe store in North Cai Ai Road, Changsha, the short boots range from 265 yuan to 365 yuan, and the price of the boots is at least 800 yuan.

The salesperson told reporters that the boots in the shop were genuine leather, and this year the price of boots generally increased by about 30%, and they didn't make much money either.

The price of leather often follows the rise in meat prices.

The high price of boots is due directly to the high price of leather.

Wang Shiqiu, President of Hunan Leather Industry Association, told reporters that compared with the same period last year, the overall cost of leather products has increased by more than 30%.

"The raw materials used for leather products sold at present are mostly purchased three months ago, when the price of leather was soaring."

Wang Shi explained that in September this year, CPI went up all the way, and the expenses of staff salaries, site rents and publicity expenses were also increasing. These new costs were reflected in the prices of goods sold in the market today.

What's interesting is that the high price of leather has a lot to do with the high price of meat.

Wang Shiqiu told reporters that the fluctuation rule of leather prices is very strange, not with the supply and demand adjustment of the terminal market, but is consistent with the price of meat.

When meat prices are high, pig farmers are more willing to sell pig skins, cowhide and sheepskin with pork, unless leather producers increase the purchase price of pigskin.

It is understood that in late October this year, hog prices began to fall, leather prices also fell.

A businessman who sells shoes for many years in Changsha is expecting that under the premise that product quality and brand effect have not changed, the overall price increase of spring shoes should not be too big next spring.
