Hey guys,
I'm starting my own clothing business very shortly and have pretty much every single concept of the brand in my head and ready to get started. Obviously I'll need to locate the funding to execute the start-up but besides that, there's only one thing which is bugging me - which is coincidentally the thing I'm seeking help for.
Is there anyone out there who knows EXACTLY how to source clothing products for a specific vision & end goal? I've been directed to the importing from china etc threads on here and they all talk about finding factories that manufacture in Asia etc, but don't go into detail into how to get exactly what you want produced.
I have EXTREMELY specific ideas on what way I want the products to fit, feel and look. I've been told that first off heading to a pattern cutter is the right way to start, but I'm unsure. I'm aware I'll probably need to build good relationships to get my exact message across but I definitely don't see going onto AliBaba or somewhere like that and just picking somewhere that manufactures just general shit which by no means looks or resembles what I'm after.
Has anyone been in my position before perhaps and can offer some guidance? Please don't respond directing me to threads on here about importing and selecting manufacturers etc etc because chances are I've already encountered them.
ANY help whatsoever will be greatly appreciated.
Also please feel free to PM me with any advice or help.
Thanks in advance
Ryan
