Softlines Accessories

Provide consumers with attractive accessories that are safe and durable

Meeting consumer expectations for safe and durable accessories can challenge even the most conscientious manufacturer. Product quality and durability can be as important as fashion appeal for value-conscious consumers. Product safety is also a paramount concern, since many materials used in accessories such as leather or textiles may contain potentially hazardous chemicals. More importantly, legal requirements can vary from market to market and are subject to continuous change and revision.
