Barrington’s goods made in Dallas and Leon are free of a 25% tariff imposed since 2019 on its goods from China and a 7.4% duty.
The exterior of Barrington is shown on Nov. 7 in Dallas. The company plans to manufacture its goods here and in Leon, Mexico.If Louis Vuitton can make handbags in rural Johnson County, why aren’t more fashion brands bringing manufacturing jobs back to the United States?
Then the pandemic’s stay-at-home lifestyle killed the market for its daily commuting and travel-focused merchandise. No one needed a new tote in 2020.But now the little-known brand with a loyal customer base has a plan. In an email last April, Barrington told customers that it had to raise prices slightly on some products. Its most popular tote, the St. Anne, which was $160 three years ago, is now $200 after two increases.
So far, Barrington has hired four people to work on the Dallas factory’s sophisticated machines, which require training to operate. The St. Anne, a tote made of water-resistant nylon canvas with leather handles that’s designed and personalized by customers, is being made one at a time and shipped from Dallas.
