Business Overview

Angora is a Bohemian-inspired clothing brand emphasizing chic, urban designs that highlight
the wearer’s playful and artistic side. Our clothing line will be sold in select specialty
boutiques on the East Coast and then expand into wholesale to reach a greater number of
stores and, eventually, department stores. It will also aim to sell via ecommerce on third party
sites and will explore the incorporation of an ecommerce platform on its own site later in the
year.
Angora will offer a women’s clothing line that is exquisite and sophisticated, as well as
practical and wearable. Angora provides chic and effortless style. Angora offers a full range
collection where each piece is special individually. Angora creates inimitable pieces that can
be worn for years; combined with basics or trends.
Success Factors
Angora provides high fashion, quality and affordability all at once. Much of designer
fashion has shifted towards mass production. With an increasing desire to
differentiate, especially through attire, young affluent individuals are looking to
2
brands that provide the same level of quality as the traditional high-end brands, but
with designs that are not commonly found everywhere.
With many point of sale options, Angora will thus be highly convenient to significant
numbers of shoppers.
The management team has a track record of success in the fashion and clothing
business.
The clothing line business is a proven business and has succeeded in communities
throughout the Pakistan.

Industry Analysis
Angora directly or indirectly competes with other fashion designers and clothing lines.
Competition will come from mass market clothing brands as well as independent fashion
designers.

The following industry size facts and statistics bode well for Angora.
Over the next five years, the Fashion Designers industry is poised for further growth. Industry
revenue will benefit from rising per capita disposable income and increased consumer
6
confidence; it will also be aided by downstream apparel-manufacturing industries. As
consumers demand trendier yet reasonably priced items, department stores will continue
collaborating with designers to create product lines with mass appeal. Additionally, as the
fast-fashion retail model continues to flourish, retailers will require more designer services in
order to quickly replicate looks from New York Fashion Week and other highly visible
international fashion shows. The textile exports over the years in Pakistan as shown in
Figure-5 is the major source of economic development.

Fashion design is a relatively high-profit activity. Industry operators make functional and
Pakistan
Age 25 to 34 13.08%
Age 35 to 44 12.94%
aesthetically pleasing designs for clothing, jewelry and accessories out of raw inputs such as
fabric, precious metals and leather. The value added to the initial input is significant, which
translates into high profit margins for many industry operators. As the economy continues to
expand and trends like collaborations and flash fashion propel the industry forward, profit
margins are expected to remain stable.
As global economic conditions continue to recover, international demand for designs created
in the United States will strengthen. Domestic designers are expected to steadily capture an
8
increasing share of the global fashion design markets (e.g. apparel, footwear and jewelry),
while retaining their position in the US market. While the production of clothing and
accessories will likely continue to move offshore to low-wage countries in Asia (and
potentially Africa),
the design process remains a core and vital function to product development and will be kept
local.
Angora will serve women in the Pakistan aged 25-44 with disposable income.
The following independent clothing lines offer unique clothing for women with disposable
incomes thus providing either direct or indirect competition for Angora:

SWOT Analysis

Strengths
Well design, best quality and we also use tight quality control strategies. Therefore, our
products have better quality than any other competitors.
Weakness
Selling price may be a bit problem for ordinary class customers because of our product’s
target market is for elite customers.
Distribution direct from manufacturers to the retailer so we aren’t sure the retailers do their
work perfect or not.
Our company is newly established. As we are in introduction stage, the awareness of people
about our brand may be smaller even though our product is nice.
We need lots of promotional strategies than other existing competitors to penetrate the
market.
Opportunities
We allow some opportunities for our customers and also authorized agent too. If a customer
buys goods for 200,000ks within a month we give him/her 5%discount card up to two years.
For authorized agent if their revenues touch the focus target, we allow them to get feedback
5% of their revenues as bonuses for them and also free trips to China.
12
Threats
One biggest threat for our product is that there are lots of famous competitors.
Delay transportation, for example, when we import out products from China by ship if the
weather is terrible our stocks will be delay. We have to sell our products according to the
weather if our stocks are delayed we can’t sell these delay product on that time. If we are
going to sell those products in coming season it is sure that our products are not up to date.
Another one is inflation because of that the value of Myanmar Kyat became low so when
exchanging money fluctuation is threat for us.

service.
We fight our main competitor by making priority of consumer wants on the other hand their
weakness is they only focus on making money by selling men wears whereas we make satisfy
our consumers by selling both genders and also accessories for both of them and also
discount systems. We will build trust with our consumers and let them know that our product
is reliable and qualified in these ways we hope to build strengths and to overcome our
weakness
