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?
In 2019, Barrington and other U.S. companies were hit with a whopping 25% tariff on goods imported from China that’s still in effect. Inside a small Deep Ellum brick building painted preppy navy blue, Barrington Gifts is making its most popular totes and shipping them to customers in all 50 states. The email went on to say: “We have begun transitioning our production to the USA and are currently making most of Barrington’s best-selling products in our new Dallas, Texas, factory. We will continue to move additional production to the USA over the months ahead.”The online retailer said customers didn’t push back on the price increase, and some of them wrote back to thank the company for bringing jobs back to the U.S.Barrington is just one of many U.S.
Barrington recruited from the Gilbreath-Reed Career and Technical Center, which trains students from seven Garland ISD high schools to work in all kinds of manufacturing, including the software and machinery used in fashion design and production. “I was hoping we could lease a building here and hire people so that all production could be in Dallas,” Gowdey said.
