Hello,
I am interested in starting a activewear clothing line.
i tried ordering some sample from China but quality was really bad. The fabrics were light and the sizing was completely off.
I've decided to start my own but do not know where to start.
I've got some designs sketched out already and need help from you guys out there if someone is willing to share some knowledge.
I need to know how fabrics are sourced as some of the prints are my own.
Also, and most importantly, now that I've got my designs, I am not sure where to get a reliable manufacturer for a good price.
I need the clothing line to be of Nike or Lululemon quality or slightly less. I am sure it is feasible for a good price.
My line will include gym clothes and training belts.
Does anyone know of any manufacturer that would be good? Is it better to start with off the shelf stuff bought from some wholesaler or do my own.
Are clothing made in North America better than the ones made offshore?
I've contacted 2 manufacturer from Alibaba and they require that you order at least 500 items per size, per style. That's crazy!
I can't really sleep anymore and need help from maybe someone who has been there or someone who knows the route to take.
I do not have tones of money as I haven't worked in a while (oil price gone down). I have about 7000$ to start. Is this even feasible?
I am putting as much info there for you guys so you know exactly where I am at and hopefully you can point me to right direction.
