GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)

Italian term or phrase: confezione del bello
Context:

Gli ultimi dati Istat sono del 2014. Rappresentiamo oltre il 41% della produzione mondiale di tessile, abbigliamento e accessori. Ci segue la Germania, con l’11%, poi la Spagna con il 10%, la Francia con l’8%, l’Inghilterra con il 7% Non c’è nessun settore nel quale noi abbiamo un vantaggio di trenta punti sul secondo. Siamo davvero gli alfieri della confezione del bello. Solo i cinesi fanno più di noi, ma con prodotti di bassa qualità.

My try: Could this term be translated as something along the lines of "standard bearers of top-quality tailoring"?

Thanks in advance to all those who wish to provide suggestions.

top-quality clothing
Explanation:
We are the champions of top-quality clothing.

Or:

We are (the foremost) manufacturers of top-quality design (clothes).

I would not say tailoring because this implies making something to individual requirements.

neutral  Lisa Jane: Tessile is not only clothes but can be other linen such as towels, tablecloths

  -> True, but since the question came in the category 'fashion' and Therese herself used the word 'tailoring' it seemed a fairly safe assumption.
agree  emanuela.v: top-quality manifacturing production, maybe more comprehensive of all sectors.

  -> Or top-quality textile manufacturing?

neutral  Lisa Jane: Tessile non è solo vestiti però tipo tovaglie, tende

  -> e allora qualcosa di generico: products - items - things - objects
neutral  dandamesh: sono contenta di essere d'accordo sull'interpretazione di bello che renderei piuttosto con beauty. Si tratta di una frase che racchiude mille sfumature, difficile da interpretare e rendere senza perdere qualcosa. Forse creation of beauty?
