Japanese demand for cowboy boots diminishes
26/10/2015
Between January and August this year, manufacturers in Guanajuato shipped just short of 250,000 pairs to Japan, compared to less than 240,000 in the same period in 2014.
On a less positive note, the value of the shipments in the first eight months of 2014 was higher than the figure for this year. In January-August 2015, Guanjuato footwear producers brought in $7.3 million from Japan, compared to $8.2 million for the lower volume shipped in the same months last year. The explanation is simple: in 2015, Guanajuato producers have seen less demand from Japan from their most valuable product, the artisan cowboy boot.
