Fabric Sourcing

When running a fashion design business, the number one thing need to be sure of it is the source of fabric. Whilst it's possible to buy fabric from the same shops as everybody else, this tends to be a very expensive way of doing things and it's simply not practical when you're producing lots of copies of the same design. Before you open for business, you should ensure that you have good access to fabric wholesalers.

Getting your fabric from a local wholesaler means that you can examine every item personally before you buy. It makes it easier to meet tight deadlines and it often means that you can buy smaller quantities. Your local small business support centre should be able to give you a list of fabric wholesalers in your area; alternately you can look them up in the business section of your local library.
