RANGE PLAN RATIONALE

QUANTITY:
INTRODUCTION:
Autumn/Winter season is the ultimate season of the year to take advantage of selling nightwear.
According to Helen Goworek, Stores usually sell twice as much nightwear during an autumn/winter season
as during a spring/summer season (Goworek H., 2001, Fashion Buying, p.44). This may be due to the fact that
most people are likely to stay indoors during the winter period as well as spending most holidays at home with
their families. The selected range plan is targeted specifically for the brand, Gina Tricot. This nightwear range
plan is inspired by the trend, Kaleidoscope Dream. The trend consists of royal, rich and feminine colors that
reflect the state of dreaminess and a sense of sensuality. In this range plan, youll find a classic night robe, two
differentcomfortable, playful shorts with funky unique prints. To pair off, the range plan consists of a
long-sleeved top, embellished with a satin bow as well as the luxurious satin camisole dress. This range plan
allow consumers to be able to mix and match each garment while allowing consumers to feel youthful,
feminine and empowered.
SELLING PERIOD & INTENDED LAUNCH WEEK:
This range plan best represents the Swedish brand, Gina Tricot. The quantity is reflected through what
is assumed to sell best based on these factors: the amount of stores there are, types of stores as well as how
long they will sell for. Gina Tricot has a total of 180 stores across five countries: Sweden, Norway, Denmark,
Finland and Germany. However, Gina Tricot also has an e-commerce website that reaches out to 28 countries
within Europe. The following estimations of quantity will be shown of few of the garments from the range plan.
180
Stores
The first garments that will be launched in stores are the night
robes. Theyre timeless and can be sold throughout the year. This appeals to
emotional buyers and rational buyers for them to transition into the winter
season or for comfort. The selling period of the night robes will sell until
January 16; this gives the garment enough time to sell through. In late
December or mid-January, during this period, is devoted to markdowns.
If the night robe does not sell well, it has the opportunity to rid of its stock,
even though less profit will be made. After 3 weeks, both shorts and the
long-sleeved tops will be launched on Week 40 and sell for 14 weeks as
they are considered staple pieces. They are essential as they can be sold
separately and can mix and match well together, this will attract consumers
as it has multiple purposes. On week 45, the satin camisole dress will be
launched and sell until week 58. The reason for the later launch is because it
is a transitional piece into the spring season. It is also suitable to sell before
Valentines Day (February 14th) due to its romantic silhouette and fabric
composition, this can hopefully spark more sales.

This fashion triangle
shows the assortment of

BASICS
Since the night robe will only sell in two sizes (S/M and M/L), each store will have 4 pcs per size. Assuming that
the night robe will sell but slowly, 1,000 pcs would be sold in all stores while the remaining 500pcs will be at
call-off for e-commerce or if sales are doing well, the rest of the stock will sell at flagship stores.

Although 15 weeks seem long, this product is considered a cash cow. This indicates that this item will sell
slowly but out of the earnings in total, it will make a lot of profit in the long run.
22
17.459079 x 3.9
= 68.0904081
68.09 would be the total retail price for this night robe. Although it is quite expensive for its target, Gina Tricot
does occasionally sell garments that are approxiametly sold for these prices. To calculate the intake margin we
have to factor in VAT. In Sweden, VAT is 25% written as 1.25.
For the shorts, Ginatricot would most likely buy 3,000 pcs. They will come in 5 sizes (XS, S, M, L and
XL). The calculations for quantity are below,
This indicates that there would be 3pcs per size available. The belief of these shorts are that they have the
potential to become a star piece. If this were to be true then,
The profit margin percentage would be 67.95%. This percentage would mean that Gina Tricot would make
67.95% of the total earnings they make of the nightrobe.This is an ideal number.
Another example of utilizing the same price method calculation is the camisole
dress. Below is the calculation on its total cost,
Cost Price
=
Fabric costs +
Components
+ CMT
This digit is quite high as for most retailers the benchmark is 3.0, this means that
the night shorts are most likekly a high selling product, and therefore Ginatricot
would buy many of them.
Retail Price
=
Cost Price (With
uplift) x Country
Production
Factor
Intake Margin
=
[(Retal Price/VAT)
- Cost Price]
Retail Price/VAT

Costs are calculated by finding out fabric costs, components and CMT
costs all together. Costs are also impacted by uplift, which is the cost of
transporting stock whether it is standard shipping or by airfreight. Afterwards, retail
price is then calculated by factoring in the cost price with the country production
factor. The calculations below will also show the intake margin of a garment. It will
be shown in percentage of how much profit we make. The following calculations
will be conducted and sold in euros below of few of the garments as an example.
The night robes total cost is 17.46,
calculations below
TOTAL: 15.87189
PRICE METHOD:
Uplift
=
Cost Price x
(Standard = 0.1) or
(Air Freight = 0.2)
The final calculated cost price is 17.46, with that outcome we multiply our
country production factor to achieve our retail price,
The retail price is considerably high for Gina Tricot. They have the potential to be trendy and high-selling due to
its feminity and luxuriousness. It must be affordable for all ages. The minimum affordable price for these would
be 31.69 according to their official website,
The screenshot on the left displays on of Ginatricots camisole tank for their
nightwear range priced at 17.95. The reason for why this particular dress is
priced at 31.69 is due to its length, which does require extra fabric. As well as
the silhouette and flow of the garment.

INTRODUCTION:
The production flow chart conveys the manufacturing process to consumers of the faux leather jacket
from the outerwear range. This report will explore the decision-making process and justification of the flow
chart. These steps will be explained in more detail: Fabric, production country, transport modes, sales methods,
sustainability and ethical analysis as well as exploring possible developments to improve sustainable and
ethical impacts.
FABRIC:
The faux leather jacket is composed of synthetic fibres. The synthetic fibres within the faux leather
jacket are polyester that is imported from Thailand as one of their textile companies, DBL Group imports
polyester staple fiber form Indorama, Thailand.
PRODUCTION COUNTRY:
Moving on to the production countries, these
following markets are the most common that they buy their
resources from while considering price that is also found
in their sustainable report of 2014 (See graph on the right).
Utilizing this information, the DBL Group based in Dhaka,
Bangladesh is the most efficient in terms of spinning. This
is because their spinning mill, Matin Spinning Mills Ltd., is
extremely contemporary equipped with efficient spinning
mills, having 50,000 spindles. In addition, they also have a
testing laboratory equipped with machinery from
Switzerland. A few of DBL Groups major buyers are H&M,
Marks & Spencer, Esprit, Next and MQ. Few of these are
also Gina Tricots competitors In regards to creating the
fabric and constructing it, He Bei Ning Fang Group Co., Ltd
in Nanjing, China is the best suit. The Ningfang group has
existed for over 40 years experience with 6,000 employees. Furthermore, they also have contemporary and
high tech equipments. This also includes, spinning, weaving, dyeing and finishing, making the garment as well
as other functions such as hotel movement, heat and power supply. Ultimately, the Ningfang group would be a
great backup company too. Lastly, by looking at the pie chart above, 49.5% of Ginatricots procurement
markets are Turkey. Therefore, ETF Tekstil based in Istanbul, Turkey would be their best garment manufacturer.
Some of the key features about it are knitting, cutting, printing, embroidery, sewing, quality control, ironing and
packaging. Which makes this significant as the last destination before distribution to Ginatricots warehouse.
Mainly due to the fact that Istanbul, Turkey is closer and more accessible to Sweden as Ginatricots warehouse
is located in Bors, this information was found on their official website.

GINATRICOT
According to Ginatricots Sustainability Report 2014 the data table above shows what materials Ginatricot
utilize while they also try to be sustainable as much as possible. In addition, Ginatricots key competitors utilize
similar materials for their outerwear jackets.
H&M

However, most of the stock will go to stores in Sweden, as that is the largest market. Followed by Norway,
whereas the other markets (Finland, Denmark and Germany) will stock less as Ginatricot isnt as popular there,
where as in Sweden it is more guaranteed to make more sales.
TESTING:
In terms of testing, there are several testings that
must be conducted for an outerwear jacket that is made of
faux leather. It is most suitable to test its water resistance as
the likeliness for rain is higher in autumn winter than spring
and summer season. Because of weather conditions like
these, color fastness will also be tested to see compatibility
and duration of the dye with the faux leather textile.
Moreover, stretch and recovery will also be tested as this
faux leather jacket is meant to have a fitted and structured
shape with less flexibility and draping. After the fabric is
woven, dyed, cut and converted into a proper garment with
all of its additional components. The testings required are
care codes to ensure that customers are well informed of
how to take care of faux leather. Lastly, the jacket also needs
to be tested for slide fasteners to make sure that they
function properly and smoothly with no rusting as well so
that the jacket can zip up or down depending on the
customers preference.

This process continues so once the stock has been delivered to their
warehouse in Sweden. On the Questions and Answers section of
their official website, they mention that FedEx are in charge of
distributing their stock as well as handling orders through
ecommerce. The divided stock will then go to Ginatricot stand-alone
stores across Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland and Germany, as
they are not found in department stores.

In the introduction of their sustainability report, they have stated their long term goal that,
In 2028, Gina Tricot will turn 30 years. This is also the year we are planning towards in our
sustainability vision. (Gina Tricot Sustainability Report 2014, pg. 7). This part of the rationale
will explore and evaluate their sustainability and ethical approach specifically towards their
production methods by referring to the production flowchart on page 27-8.
Before producing the garment, the choices in materials are extremely significant. According to Gina
Tricots official website on their page Sustainable Materials What Are They? they utilize a grading system as
a way of assessing their sustainability. The grading system factors in farming methods, chemical contents, the
ability to recycle and quality. According to the sustainability manager, Marcus Bergman,
In order for a garment to be categorized as sustainable, it must contain at least 50% sustainable
material, calculated according to total weight (Bergman, 10 January 2015).
34
While this faux leather jacket is made of polyester, a percentage of it is recyclable. Referring to the data table on
page 31, Gina Tricot does use recycled polyester in their garments.
In terms of the production process, the DBL Group is
mainly in charge for the spinning process but it is also an
exceptional company that provides other functions as well besides
its spinning mill. Not only is the DBL group efficient and falls into
Gina Tricots pie chart of top procurement markets, just like Gina
Tricot they try to be more sustainable and honest through
publishing their sustainability reports, goals relating to people, the
environment, the community, process and lastly product. This
makes the partnership ideal. In addition, the DBL Group fulfills the
ethical part by targeting social cultural issues through charity/
organization involvements and promotion. For instance,
supporting Global Womens Economic Empowerment Initiative
(GWEEI) through spreading awareness of womens rights
regarding labor. They also attempt to train women on certain
production processes to decrease population of unemployment
especially since Bangladesh is a LEDC.
For both creating the fabric
processes (Weaving, dyeing and finishing),
China is the ultimate location that most
retailers resort to because of affordability,
flexibility and availability. Leading to the
Hebei Ning Fang Group Co., LTD, a
a well-known textile and fabric manufacturer company. Exploring the sustainability
and ethics perspective, Hebei Ning Fang Group may not be as sustainable as the
DBL Group in terms of resources. However, conferring to the production flow chart.
Gina Tricot would only want their employees to construct and finish their fabric.
Minimal information is found on their websites but the Ningfang group has received
many awards and recognitions. Some include, Top 500 enterprises of textile
industry and Top 10 enterprises of printing & dyeing industry in China, there is
many more. Many of these awards illustrate the fact that they are efficient in both
production and cleanliness in terms of how they treat the machines as well as
chemicals (E.g. dye of the faux leather jacket)
This way we
reduce our CO2
emissions by
60 -70%... saves
both costs and the
environment.
- Petri Ventel, Logistics
Manager
- Anna-Karin Wrfors,
CSR Manager
The largest procurement market according to Gina Tricot is Turkey, this indicates that shipping time is
less, which adds to becoming more eco-friendly and reduces emissions of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
As stated above, Gina Tricot also tries to focus on altering transportation methods

EXPLANATION
As we are a new Outerwear brand, we assumed that we wont have many stores to begin with. We
picked factories specifically looking at the quantity as well as affordability. Our top choice was Impulse India
because of the minimum quantity as well as the cost price. Our second choice was then Wearwell, also in India.
Both of these factories work with brands such as H&M, New Look, Marks & Spencer, Top Shop, ASOS, etc.
Those are our key competitors, therefore we also want to work with these factories so that we can benefit and
grow because our competitors have demonstrated success. Our last option would be Textil Northena in
Portugal, the only advantage of this is that it is extremely close by which does reduce amount of lead time.

3) SALES ANALYSIS
Chosen Garment:
Description:
This jumpsuit is also part of the partywear collection for A/W 17. They are
extremely trendy, they can be casua or sophisticated. This jumpsuit has a fitted
silhouette with cutouts at the waist and intricate lazer cutting at the chest. The bottom part tapers down to make the ankles skinny. Lastly, it has pockets to make the
garment more functional for everyday wear or for a glamorous night out.
1. Minimum Quantity
ST - 8.7
B. 4 sizes x 180 stores = 720pcs (This is just enough to cover all sizes)
Therefore the absolute minimum quantity is 720pcs.
2. Underperforming Product
How much extra quantity will you build into your final buy quantity for
replenishment and sell through buffer?
A. If Ginatricot were to order 480 pcs to be stocked in their warehouse for call off.
480 + 720 = 1,200pcs (Total order quantity with replenishment)
B. Sell through % = Units sold / Units bought
If this product were to be launched in week 45 and sell for 5 weeks
ST - 1.8
Therefore, my total order quantity would be 1,440 pcs with the additional buffer.
3. Weeks to Last
A. Formula:
A. Total landed cost price x intended quantity = Total order value (show cost)
1,440pcs bought
240 sales per week
= 6 weeks to last
55
-> Fabric cost (4.92) + CMT (3.58) = 8.50/1.31 = 6.488549618 (In GBP)
-> The total cost price with uplift (6.488549618 x 1.1) = 7.13740458
-> 7.13740458 x 1,440pcs = 10,277.8626 (Total order value)
Total order value = 10,277.86
B. Total order value (retail price axcl. VAT) x country production factor (Bangladesh)
= Total sales value
