Q How would you describe the the UK at the moment? A garment decoration industry in
The garment decoration industry is naturally influenced by fashion and with the growing trend for fast fashion and bespoke, customised garments, these have never been more appealing for garment decorators, especially with the speed and development of digital technologies, which have made low volume work possible.
