Fabric Sourcing

Direct access to Japanese, Chinese and Italian mills, with fabrics matched to your handfeel, performance requirement, and actual order volume.

Description

Fabric decides most of what a garment becomes. Fit, drape, durability, and cost all sit downstream from it, this makes sourcing the material worth more attention than it typically gets.

We source from a range of mills with direct communication on lead times and whether certain volumes can be met by the mill or not. This gives us the advantage to pivot your order quantity to suitable fabric suppliers that match your designs from a textile perspective but also commercial viewpoint.

Minimums are the constraint most brands deal with first, commonly originating from the mill rather than factory due to SKUs not in-stock or being custom order by nature. We frequently communicate a range of suppliers and are able to advise from time of inquiry whether the fabric composition requires pivoting or whether there are consolidation options for you to access fabrics that otherwise may be out of reach.
