They are a part of the RCBC Group, one of the most reputed denim trading companies in the country.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Their production facilities spread over 70,000 sq. ft., manufacture metal trims such as shank buttons &amp; rivets, snap fasteners, metal brandings, eyelets, and patches of different materials such as faux leather, jacron paper, silicon, fabric, and heat transfers. They mention that all the trims manufactured at their units pass international testing standards and quality checks.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We spoke to <strong>Ms. Nishi Vora<\/strong> (<a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/SOJplBi0Iig\">see video here<\/a>)  &#8211; Director of Fashion Accessories India and tried to get her perspective of the accessories industry in India and how they are trying to cater to sustainability requirements in this segment by buyers around the world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What do you think makes Fashion Accessories co. different from other accessory companies.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I think what makes us different is our legacy. <em>We are a part of RCBC, India\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s most reputed traders of denim fabric<\/em>. As our family grew, the manufacturing of trims became a natural extension as there was nobody else in the space and demand was huge. <br>Even under trims, we manufacture the whole gamut \u00e2\u20ac\u201c metal trims, patches, labels, transfers \u00e2\u20ac\u201c everything one needs to brand their jeans. Immediately, we became a one-stop-shop for all the brands. Brands come to us and they get everything under one roof \u00e2\u20ac\u201c denim fabric from every mill and all your trims. Sourcing becomes that much easier, as does managing their supplier count.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, I think our relationships are what set us apart from everyone. We have always ensured that building a relationship with our customers comes first, business is secondary. That helps us provide prompt service, 24&#215;7 support, and quality goods every single time.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">You are already&nbsp;working on sustainable accessories. Are you following any particular standards for the same?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We have just launched our new collection of sustainable trims \u00e2\u20ac\u02dc<strong>Kind To The Planet<\/strong>\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 after almost a year of rigorous research. The collection is elegantly designed &amp; vibrant and saves material, energy, and water at the same time.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Metal Trims \u00e2\u20ac\u201c&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Material<\/strong> \u00e2\u20ac\u201c We use <strong>recycled metals<\/strong> as far as possible. Further, we have developed <strong>single piece buttons and rivets<\/strong> \u00e2\u20ac\u201c eliminating the bottom part and saving about 40% of the material used.&nbsp;<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Finishing \u00e2\u20ac\u201c <\/strong>Our collection is raw, <strong>letting the base materials shine.<\/strong> To achieve a variety of finishes, we have used different processes such as polishing, tumbling, and vintage erosion on the base materials. This ensures that <strong>we save up to 50-70% water generally used for electroplating<\/strong> but also provide a wide variety of color options as well.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.denimsandjeans.com\/recovery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Copy-of-IMG_1128a-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is Copy-of-IMG_1128a-1024x768.jpg\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.denimsandjeans.com\/recovery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Copy-of-IMG_4218-1024x769.jpg\" alt=\"This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is Copy-of-IMG_4218-1024x769.jpg\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Patches \u00e2\u20ac\u201c<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Our company is 100% vegan<\/strong> \u00e2\u20ac\u201c we have never used any leather in our patches. Our USP, in fact, is developing faux leather materials that look and feel exactly like leather, but have no animal product on them.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li><li>We use <strong>FSC certified recycled jacron<\/strong> for our patches and create different textures and looks using only hot-stamping techniques. We are eliminating the use of additional coloring and keeping the look as natural as possible&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li><li>We also use <strong>organic cotton, hemp, and cork materials<\/strong> to created printed labels.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.denimsandjeans.com\/recovery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Copy-of-IMG_3785-1024x769.jpg\" alt=\"This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is Copy-of-IMG_3785-1024x769.jpg\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are your best selling products in India and overseas&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Our <strong>faux leather patches and metal shanks<\/strong> are currently our bestseller products. A lot of R&amp;D goes into developing faux leather whose look, texture, and feel is exactly like leather, but it has no animal product at all. <br><br>We take pride in the fact that <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">most end customers probably will not be able to tell the difference between PU and leather when they look at our labels on a brand\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s jeans<\/span>. In metal, our biggest win is that we have our own electroplating unit, so we are constantly innovating on new techniques and finishes. Currently, we have more than 150 finishes and we are constantly working with brands to create a new finish especially for them almost every day.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What changes do you see in the requirements of buyers in the recent times and how you have adjusted to them.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I think a major change that the pandemic has brought about is that brands are developing <strong>more timeless collections,<\/strong> as opposed to focusing on seasonal trends. Also, lighter and airier silhouettes are becoming popular with the end customer. Basic is \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcin\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 and <strong>so are simple, elegant trims<\/strong>. <br><br>Adapting to this, our collection also focuses on classic designs and finishes. We suggest using <strong>brass buttons over alloy shanks<\/strong> currently as it is technically more sound, lighter, faster to produce, and more cost-effective as well. In patches, we suggest <strong>thin faux leather patches or jacron patches<\/strong> in neutral shades of browns, blacks, and creams. These patches are designed to last across seasons, showcase the brand name clearly, and add minimal weight to the jeans.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"769\" src=\"https:\/\/www.denimsandjeans.com\/recovery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Copy-of-IMG_2089a-1024x769.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-45065\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.denimsandjeans.com\/recovery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Copy-of-IMG_2089a-1024x769.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.denimsandjeans.com\/recovery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Copy-of-IMG_2089a-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.denimsandjeans.com\/recovery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Copy-of-IMG_2089a-768x577.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.denimsandjeans.com\/recovery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Copy-of-IMG_2089a-1536x1153.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.denimsandjeans.com\/recovery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Copy-of-IMG_2089a-2048x1538.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.denimsandjeans.com\/recovery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Copy-of-IMG_2089a-86x64.jpg 86w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Weaving Your Brand Identity One Trim At A Time&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Nishi says that their USP is their power to tell  brand\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s story through trims.
