custom designed and produced tweed. This proved to be a very successful line for Johnstons and they are still produced today to specific customers’ orders. At the same time the company had begun to import cashmere and slowly devel- oped a range of fine woven clothes made from this fibre. Much later in 1973 Johnstons entered the cashmere knitting industry through a separate factory at Hawick in the Scottish borders.
The impact of low-cost competition For many years cashmere-based products had tended to be highly priced and as a result bought only by a more affluent customer. However, with the increasing glo- balisation of markets, partly influenced by the reduction or removal of trade barriers, new sources of low-cost competition began to emerge as the twentieth century moved to a close. Products labelled as ‘cashmere’ were now selling in supermar- kets in western countries for a fraction of the price that traditional manufacturers and retailers were charging. Admittedly many of these low-cost imports were not of the same quality and contained only enough cashmere wool to enable them legally to be labelled as cashmere; however, they very quickly had a severe impact on the sales of UK-produced cashmere products. For example, in 2008 a cashmere pashmina could be bought in Tesco for £29 compared to as much as £200 for one manufactured in the UK and bought at a store such as Harvey Nichols. Many traditional manufacturers were not able to withstand this competition and the steady decline in the UK knitted garment industry – which had been evident for years – looked set to continue. Johnstons of Elgin was not immune from this competition pressure and in 2006 it saw its profits fall from £2.2 million to £336,000.
A shift of focus For many years Johnstons had been predominantly a menswear business with highly stable products with long life cycles (e.g. suiting fabrics), but over time the company has become predominantly a womenswear business with a higher fashion content and with much shorter life cycles. At the same time there was a transition from a business producing mainly standard products on a repetitive basis to a much more customised product base, often made as own-labels for major fashion houses such as Hermes. As a result, design became a much more critical element in the product develop- ment process. It was also recognised that becoming a design-led company could provide a powerful platform for competing against low-cost country sources. However, it was not sufficient to be innovative in design if new products could not be introduced rapidly and production adjusted quickly to match uncertain demand.
Time-based competition As is common in the textile and apparel industry, generally the time from design to market was often lengthy at Johnstons. Partly this was caused by the inflexibility of the traditional production and finishing processes, but also a significant cause of
