Almost every fashion label outside the top super-luxury brands is either already manufacturing in Asia or thinking of it. Coach , the US leather goods maker, is a classic example. Over the past five years, it has lifted all the gross margins by manufacturing solely in low-cost markets. In March 2002 it closed its factory in Lares, Puerto Rico, its last company-owned plant, and outsources all its products.

Burberry has many Asian licensing arrangements. In 2000 it decided to renew Sanyo’s Japanese license for ten years. This means that almost half of Burberry’s sales at retail value will continue to be produced under the licence in Asia.

At the same time however, Japanese consumers prefer the group’s European-made products.

In interview with the FT, many executives say the top luxury brands will continue to be seen particularly in Asia, as European.
