This is not Amazon’s first incursion into fashion or clothing. It previously has been into many clothing and accessories brands, also the one that concentrates on ladies’ bags and shoes.

Bloomberg further reports that Amazon normally do not look for creating its own products but when it feels that there is a gap in its inventory in terms of products consumers usually want then it looks into the manufacturing of its own merchandise.
As some brands do not sell their certain products on Amazon and the e-retail giant wants to offer even those products to its customers, so that the customers may stick to the giant and may not go elsewhere.
