In Taiwan in the 1960s and 1970s, the clothing industry was booming, and many garments were manufactured in Taiwan. However, as the volume of garments increased, some garments did not meet the requirements of foreign original manufacturers, or the garments had defects or transportation delays. However, Taiwanese OEMs must face the pressure of inventory accumulation due to returns from foreign original manufacturers. The Housewives Shopping Mall mainly sells ready-made clothing for export. In order to solve the problem of insufficient supply, it began to invest in a business model focusing on self-developed products and designed clothing. [3]
