What's the best way to find and approach clothing manufacturers?

-
1. The Hard Way - DIY
Doing DIY can feel rewarding. But consider the amount of time and money spent on just trying to source a good manufacturer. You basically have to be there in that country on the ground to do this the right way. Imagine trying to send your hard earned money to a person in a country you have no idea about, not having visited the manufacturers, not having built the long-term relationship with them - can you really trust them or what they say they can do?
 
Of course if you visit a country, how much time do you believe you need to spend to source the right companies? And now that you're in this foreign country, do you truly understand their language, their business culture, how to negotiate on quality and price, how to work out the shippping agents, how to trust the people you're meeting, how to source the correct fabrics and materials, etc. But then, who has that kind of time or the money when they're focused on getting their websites completed, and their marketing strategies figured out, and making sure their buyers are lined up, and locally registering their business, and ... well you get the idea.

 
2. The Easy Way - Hire someone else to do it for you.
Consider now the amount of time and money being spent to DIY to maybe find the right manufacturer for your clothing versus the time and money saved while the agent does all the work. We're the ones with the long standing relationships with the manufacturers, the ability to negotiate, the ability to source the best fabrics and materials, the incentive to drive manufacturers to complete projects on time and with the best quality, the understanding of local and business culture and language, the contacts in the major shipping agencies, and the ability to change manufacturers at will if something doesn't go as planned.
 
Our clients have the benefit of freeing themselves up, saving time and money. That time they have is spent on building their business. Imagine not having to worry about whether you're going to get screwed over or someone will hold your garments hostage for more money, that your garments are being produced ethically and affordably and being watched over by experienced professionals, that quality controls are properly conducted, that your shipments are sent on time and securely in proper packaging, that when you go to sleep at night you're not concerned that your life's passion is in the hands of unethical business people in a far away land.
 
If you really want to get your clothing brand produced and selling fast, then find an agent. I can't stress how essential this is for small brands since time and money can mean the difference between make it or break it.
 
Anyway, if you need any assistance with producing your clothing, I would be delighted to help you. below is our website.

Before start selling your collection you need to  find a manufacturer .
