Italian to English translations [PRO]
Textiles / Clothing / Fashion / translation of web site excerpts
Italian term or phrase: confezioni
Context: Lacci Nastri per Calzature e Confezioni

Not having any more context - just a list of excerpts from various websites - I had my doubts on whether to translate "confezioni" as "packages/packaging" or "Tailoring" or even "clothing manufacturing" - please help me decide!
Thanks in advance!

apparel
Explanation:
I'm fairly certain that this means ready to wear apparel/clothing as it is seen in many small shops where such things are available - sewing items, sundries, underwear, clothing, etc., rather than clothing manufacture.
