Clothing textiles have been around for thousands of years. Initially a cottage industry, it gradually became structured and evolved into today's economic model. As the sector progressed, it benefited from the opening of its first factories in the early 1800s, until it reached mass production, bringing clothing within everyone's reach. As the means of production evolved, the industrialization of the sector accelerated, and the variety of products increased to better meet consumer needs.
