Macro environment: PESTEL
Macroenvironment - Technological, Environmental, Legal
The technological environment is characterized by numerous developments which support organizations in increasing their operational efficiency and reducing costs. These technologies are often expensive and using them requires additional investments, but which generate a beneficial return. Advancements have been made relative to textile manufacturing and sewing, blends of new fibres, but also in terms of selling the products, such as online stores and the creation of the virtual community (Weston-Thomas).

This impacts the fashion industry by generating a focus and demand for clothes, shoes, bags and other accessories not made from animal leather. As a result, the environmental concerns focus on increasing the amount of synthetic leather used.
