Spanish term

confección

Spanish to English Tech/Engineering Textiles / Clothing / Fashion
La actuación inspectora de las piezas intervenidas se llevó a cabo en Barcelona, en establimientos mayoristas de venta de artículos de ropa y confección procedentes de países asiáticos y países del Este.

Is this fabric or material or something else?

Discussion

marybro Apr 5, 2006:
I agree with María Eugenia that "confección" means apparel manufacturing. However, at least in Mexico, it can also mean "ready-made/ready-to-wear garments", as Good Words pointed out. These may be sewn items or knitted articles.
Tim, "confección" is apparel manufacturing. IMHO, "Artículos de ropa y confección" means Fashion & Apparel (meaning that not all pieces are sweaters, pants, suits or overcoats, but also accessories, such as ties and kerchieves :)

agree María Eugenia Wachtendorff : EXACTAMENTE. La industria manufacturera de vestuario se llama "Apparel Industry".//Apparel y Clothing son sinónimos, amigo. Fashion & Apparel se entiende mejor si quieres incluir accesorios de vestuario. ;)

¡Gracias, María Eugenia! La gente involucrada en el sector usa mucho el término apparel. En este caso creo que "clothing and apparel items" cubre la frase de artículos de ropa y confección. ¡Saludos!

agree marybro : I like "clothing and apparel items". I worked in the industry, and I can tell you that there is not 100% agreement as to what constitutes "clothing" vs "apparel". these terms cover it all. Socks, gloves, undergarments &accessories as well as outerwear.

this is a tricky one in view of the juxtaposition of "ropa" and "confección" ...... "garment" has a connotation of a single piece of clothing so it might fit the bill here .....
Peer comment(s):

agree Margaret Schroeder : BTW, Timothy, the word "confección" itself means sewing garments together (assembling). María Eugenia, apparently I was unclear. I think you are right, and it was what I was trying to say.

thanks Hebe :)
agree María Eugenia Wachtendorff : I think GoodWords is wrong (for once!). Confección is the whole process of manufacturing pieces of clothing, from design to button-sewing.

thanks María Eugenia :)
agree marybro : "ready-made" or "ready-to wear" garments are also an industry terms used by dealers, traders, importers & exporters.
