The Departments devoted to Fashion have a particular fascination, the name Harrods being a cachet with well-dressed people for correct and distinctive attire.
Their fashion experts regularly visit the Continental markets. They have established agencies in the leading centres which keep them informed of the trend of fashion, and constantly feed them with novelties.
Harrods have developed the manufacturing side of their fashion business to such an extent that they now produce in their own workrooms a great number of fashionable garments, including gowns, coats, blouses, millinery, and underwear, many of original design as well as replicas of selected Paris models.
This development of manufacture not only tends to improve quality by giving Harrods the entire supervision of the materials and workmanship, but also lessens the cost to customers, all middle profit being obviated by this method of supplying direct.
