The fantastic new U:P Ultimate Performance Collection will strengthen the current offer from the company and has been designed to make Skopes the first point of call for suppliers of corporate tailoring.
The collection meets customer demand for top quality, stylish corporatewear with easy-care properties and brings a number of other benefits including crease-free and nanotechnology. U:P Collection is designed to looksmart throughout the whole working day.
So how does the U:P Ultimate Performance Collection achieve this ?
It starts with a world class fabric. Using 50% top quality, superfine wool combined with 47% polyester and 3% lycra which is two way stretch. Special weaving and finishing techniques eliminate anything that interferes with the fabric’s ability to recover its original form. In independent tests for crease recovery, results showed a significant immediate improvement to fabrics of a similar construction, with U:P reverting to its original form after just one hour! The fabric also brings nanotechnology to corporatewear for the first time in the form of stain and water resistant treatment providing a significant improvement in this field. After thirty washes it remains highly effective and the fabric is still soft and breathable.
What about the styling and fit?
The styles and fit have been developed by a new design and manufacturing team with a strong retail background, producing for some of the most successful, design led retail operations in the UK with the added advantage of vast experience of washable technology. After nearly a year of wearer trials and testing, Skopes is confident the collection not only performs to the highest standards but is also highly valued by wearers for its sleek looks, fit and comfort. The range is being offered in a vast array of sizes including petite and tall fittings. A matching mens suit is available to complete the offer which initially comprises charcoal, black and navy colourways. Skopes has been receiving invaluable feedback from a small number of its customers who have had access to the range for six months.
When is the range available?
U:P Collection is in stock now and customers will be supported with a stunning new 56 page catalogue due out at the end of September. Separate sales literature on the U:P Collection along with independent test results is also being made available however Skopes is urging its customers to order samples as soon as possible.
A number of Skopes customers have already secured contracts with the new range and feedback has been positive. The key is to get garments in front of people and demonstrate the benefits. One customer reports a 100% conversion rate from five presentations made
so far including two major orders.
What else is new?
Although U:P Collection sits at the pinnacle of Skopes ranges, the new catalogue also features other important developments including a new value range. This capsule collection in co-ordinating mens and womens styles is designed for wearers working in harsher environments where durability is key. The range, in a tough poly/wool blend, represents great value being on average 30% cheaper than the current poly/wool range which is to be phased out. As well as this, there are additional styles in the womens easy-care range including a stylish boot cut trouser and a waistcoat option for the hotel/hospitality sector. Skopes market-leading menwear ranges have also received attention with the arrival of a new classic ‘mix and match’ suit range available in three plain and two pinstripe designs and a luxury suit range using a high twist wool.
