Both Italy and Korea are listed in the clothing description; where was the garment made?
When reading the material label, Italy appears next to the fabric and Korea is listed below it, making it confusing as to which one is the place of origin. Seeing the same combination repeated across products makes one even more curious.
The fabric is made in Italy, and the sewing to complete the fabric into a garment is done in Korea, which is why both countries are listed together.
The two names refer to different stages. For a garment to be made, weaving the yarn to make the fabric and cutting and sewing that fabric are each required, and this label writes down those two places separately.
Taking the SHEER JERSEY LONG SLEEVE TOP as an example, the material is listed as 73% cotton and 27% nylon, and the fabric is noted as having been made in Italy[1]. In the same product description, MADE IN KOREA is placed separately on a single line[2].
Generally, a garment's country of origin is based on the country where the final sewing took place, and where the fabric was made is added as separate information. Therefore, even if the names of two countries appear side by side on a single garment, it is not a contradictory label, but rather closer to two lines showing the sequence of the process from start to finish.
Which factory the Italian fabric is sourced from, and which items this combination applies to, have not yet been confirmed.
