NINA DUONG MADE IN CANADA

Toronto, Ontario (September 7, 2007) – With manufacturing and service jobs melting away to China and India, fashion designer, Nina Duong is proud to see her business flourish thanks to making her gowns in Canada. China and India, among others, have been competing in the past years to take away increasing number of Canada’s manufacturing and service jobs. Without a doubt it’s increasingly difficult to find an item with “Made in Canada” printed on it. For Canadian business owners, it seems a logical choice to hire cheaper labor force, but for local residents seeking employment it is highly discouraging.

Thanks to local production Nina Duong Haute Couture is able to provide exceptional quality of workmanship of each and every one of the gowns. Also, making the gowns in Canada allows for better service with quick turnaround time and total customization. That's all on top of keeping jobs in Canada.

Nina Duong, local fashion designer plans to expand distribution, and keep jobs local. “The cost of labour in Canada is substantial, however looking at long term it makes sense to keep jobs locally,” said Ms. Duong. “If every business owner looked at it from this point of view, Canada would have a very strong economy today!” she explained.

Expansion plans for Nina Duong Haute Couture include distribution of the gowns throughout North America. With increased media exposure, the unique designs are in huge demand all over Canada and the U.S. Brides from all over the continent including Bermuda, New York City, and California have come to see and purchase gowns from the couture house located in Toronto, Ontario.

Chantilly Bridal located in Vancouver, British Columbia will be the first boutique on the west coast to carry Nina Duong gowns, which are scheduled to arrive by end of September.
