How Tariffs will Change the Current Fashion Industry

• Adeel Mitha • Season 1 • Episode 10

📦 Description:
Tariffs jumped from 10% to 145% almost overnight—then dropped back to 30% after a 90-day pause agreement between the U.S. and China. But what does that actually mean for boutique owners?

In this episode, Adeel and Chansey break down the real impact of rising import tariffs on your buying strategy, pricing, and profitability. We’ll walk you through:

âś… How tariffs affect your landed cost and markup
 âś… Why the 30% rate isn’t as temporary as it sounds
 âś… What caused the spike—and why AI chip negotiations matter
 âś… The myth of “Made in America” as a quick fix
 âś… What smart boutique owners are doing to adapt right now

Whether you're running a fashion boutique, sourcing accessories, or managing inventory from China or other countries, this episode gives you the context and tools you need to protect your margins and plan smarter.
