•  Boots is considered to be one of the most prominent and recognised retailers within the United Kingdom. Not only is the company a recognised chemist but also sells cosmetics, toiletries, and non-prescription drugs. (Reference for Business, 2016).

•  Although the company has had an increasing expansion abroad, 95% of the companies sales originate in its’ founding country, the United Kingdom. (Reference for Business, 2016).

•  The brand was fully founded in the 1870’s by the son of John Boot (Jesse Boot), who took over running his fathers’ small shop with his mum in 1860 after his father had died. The brand grew quickly, and by 1874, Jesse was running the shop by himself and had decided to retail medicines (Reference for Business, 2016).

•  The brands’ mission statement is ‘To be the UK’s most socially responsible retailer in the health and beauty market’, they will do this by:

a. Improving the health of our customers and their communities b. Protecting the environment c. Leading the development of sustainable products d. Placing our customers and colleagues at the heart of our business.

Company

History

(Rachel) (Boots, no date: Online) 4)

•  Boots Mini Club sells clothes for babies and children from 0 to 6 years. •  The age range for babies clothes is 0-12 months, for ‘boys’ and ‘girls’ it is 9 months- 6

years.

•  The brand stock various different collections and trends not only online, but in-store as well. Some of the collections they stock include; mini club ‘bows & arrows’, ‘tiny treasures’, and ‘all dressed up’.

•  They also offer a ‘character shop’ which is a section of the children's brand which stocks various garments from other brands including; Disney, Peppa Pig and Thomas the Tank Engine. This is an effective marketing technique used by the brand as the vast majority of children engage with brands such Disney and Peppa Pig.

•  The prices of the brands’ garments range from £2 on a boys’ polo top to £28 on a girls’ coat. However, most of the garments are priced within the range of £5-£10 which would make them affordable to a lot of families.

•  Another factor which reinforces their aim to be affordable is that a lot of their clothes and accessories are included in various promotional offers including ‘Buy 1 get 2nd half price’, ‘ 2 for £8 on selected clothing’ etc.

Fabric

(NIKITTA)

Our garment is made from 100% cotton which is good because there are no extra fibres or materials used. Different or extra materials could effect how the garment keeps its shape or how it stretches. Our garments design is a fully fashioned jacquard knit. With being a baby grow it has to meet a lot more criteria's such as being soft and meeting all of the babies needs. Cotton is a fabric that is natural too so this is also good for the baby.

13)

100% Cotton

100% Cotton is a durable, pre-shrunk, colourproof cotton fabric that is mainly used in craftsman clothing. Advantages of cotton are, soft and comfortable and allows fully body movement within the garment.

Cotton as a natural fibre has many characteristics such as;Machine washable- which is good as with this garment being 100% cotton and being for a baby. So if the baby grow gets dirty it can be easily clean.

Comfortable and Soft- it is important that the baby grow is comfortable for the baby to be in all day. It is also essential that it is soft because the garment is for a baby.

Colour Retention- it is key that the baby grow keeps its colour because it could harm the baby if the colour runs on to their skin so it is good that the baby grow is made out of 100% cotton material.

(NIKITTA) 14)

Country

of Origin

(SHANNON)

•  China is the worlds largest population with over 10 million people employed in the clothing industry.

•  China exports an estimated $1.2 billion worth of goods each year making it one of the fastest growing economies world wide.

•  Although there has been an evident decline in cotton production, China still remains the World’s leading producer and exporter of cotton.

•  Boots is not a specialised apparel brand but offers a wide variety of products in store and online. The potential reason for using China as their source of manufacturing for their garments could be down to their experienced and skilled workers who are able to meet deadlines.

•  The annual cycle of merchandising differs between counties and within the countries, relating to cultural events and celebrations. During Chinese New Year, Chins will stop production one week before and after, during this time no work is done and apparel can not be manufactured or shipped out so companies may have to alter their lead times for this.

•  “Traditionally, out sourcing labour on a global basis has kept costs low, but rising transport costs, unstable geo-political situations, currency fluctuations, volatile materials costs and improving labour standards/costs in emerging economies spell change. Landed cost between China and the UK is now just a 16% differential.”

•  Products can be produced cheap due to cheap labour, cheap fabrics and cheap manufacturing however, recently China has been exposed for the lack of safety workers are catered with and the unstable working environment they are in. China’s minimum wage is slowly but consistently increasing over recent years in many popular areas of China.

Childrenswear

Market

(SHANNON)

Mintel forecasts that the children’s wear sector will grow by 15.3% to reach 7.8 billion by 2019.

At the same time, family sizes are getting smaller, with a 5% increase in the number of one-child families in Britain to 47% over the last 16 years, while that of families with three or more children fell by 3% to 14%. More single-child families mean that parents can spend more on items for their offspring, including clothes.

Within the Children’s wear market, the main focus is the safety and fit for purpose of the garment for the consumer. Baby wear must meet the necessary safety guidelines which contains more requirements than for adult clothing due to their vulnerability and lack of understanding.

Market Value = 400.4 million per year. Supermarkets and value retailers still remain dominating the children’s clothing sector.

Infants: 0 – 2 years Girls Clothing: 2 – 14 years Boys Clothing: 2 – 14 years

Quality of clothing and comfort are the two most prioritised aspects parents have when buying garments for their infant. Fashion forward garments and designer brands are not considered a necessity when considering purchasing for infants due to their

quick growth during their first few years.

“Some 73% of children’s wear buyers have bought clothes for babies and children online, rising to 90% of parents with children aged 0-3. Asda and Next are the most popular places to purchase online.”

Trims &

Components

(NIKITTA)

•  Components featured in the garment are; (9 pink buttons- 7 light pink round buttons, 2 dark pink heart shaped buttons).

•  Trims used within the garments are; (Hem- 4 knitted stretch cotton hems on the cuffs of the sleeves and the legs).

•  It is increasingly important that companies are ethical in their approach to all aspects of their business. It could be considered that it is even more important for a company like Boots to do this as they sell such a variety of products, they are almost a number of different companies within the brand, Boots.

•  According to the Ethical Fashion Forum, an ethical brand would be one that ‘strives to take an active role in poverty reduction, sustainable livelihood creation, minimising and counteracting environmental concerns’ (Ethical Fashion Forum, no date: Online).

•  In terms of Corporate Social Responsibility, Boots have a clear strategy to make sure their children’s clothing line ‘Mini Club Baby’ follows all of these ethical considerations.

Ethical &

Sustainability

(rACHEL) 19)

Figure 1: (Boots, 2016: Online)

Whilst they do not go into the details of their individual targets, the brand say they have a long term plan to pass

‘actions, targets and milestones against which performance is monitored and reported’ in these four key areas.

(Boots, 2016: Online)

(rACHEL) 20)

1.  Make sure materials and ingredients are fully traceable back to their origin.

2.  When examined, include sustainability information as well as traceability and biodiversity impact information when assessed.

1.  Online database can be used to trace ingredient information and access the sustainability risks of raw materials used in Boots brand products.

2.  Make sure working conditions in factories are fair as there have been many past reports on unfair conditions and ‘sweat shop’ antics, long hours and small wages.

3.  To make sure this doesn’t happen, Boots should develop a close working relationship with suppliers in China so feedback can be heard and taken on board.

Considerations

(CHLOE) 21)

It is extremely important that manufacturers of children’s clothing follow the general product safety regulations for childrenswear closely, as children are at a higher risk of being injured or harmed by their clothing. Whether it is from draw cords on hooded tops or from the high level of flammability of the fabric used.

There are various specifications that the manufacturer should follow when producing garments for young children e.g. 0-7 years; including:a. There must be no drawstrings or cords in the hood/neck area.b. Any small parts on the clothing e.g. buttons, beads, tassels etc. must be secure must be secure as they can easily become a choking hazard.c. Drawstrings on sleeves should not hang below the edge of the sleeve.

Construction

Details

(Nikitta)

1.  First, the manufactures chose the material that the garment would be made out of.

2.  Secondly, they would plan the patterning of the garment by working out measurements for each bit such as neck, legs, sleeves.

3.  Thirdly, they then sampled the garment out of sample material which then was their toile.

4.  They then checked that all measurements and the fit was ok.

5.  Finally, they made the garment out of 100% cotton and Jacquard knit.
