Hi all,

Does anyone know of suppliers outside the UK who will meet small orders please? I think I've found all thats available from the UK suppliers! Any useful links would be a great help and greatly appreciated,

Many thanks

Hi Mary,

Thank you for your reply, I am certainly interested! I see your website is under construction at the moment! Would it be possible to get some samples anyway soon please?

Hi Mary, How much is it to order some samples of your fabrics sent to Melbourne Australia? How consistent are your fabrics in terms of quality, overall colour, texture etc. If i were to need bulk meters how consistent are the orders?

Great web concept. Hope it goes well for you.

Hi Jackueline,

Where are you sourcing from? Does it reduce costs sourcing directly from where the fabrics originate? I suppose it depends on how many people you find but what do you think will be the minimum amount to order?

Many thanks,

Becky

Hiya I too am interestedin sourcing FAIR TRADE fabrics (that look professional ... not country bumkins look ... nothing wrong with cottage craft industry look just it's not the cutting edge i am after). Where exactly are they sourced form? Cost? minimum order etc? does it matter that i'm way down under in the land of Australia?

Hi jaqueline, I've been sourcing all of the fabrics you mention - I have some good leads I think. I would be very interested in clubbing together to save costs. All the best, Jenny

Hi all - we have a fully integrated vertical factory in Tanzania. We're shipping garments into the UK regularly, and have regular running fabrics - including organic cotton jersey (130gsm and 150gsm). So we can help take care of the logistics and have farly low minimums to supply into Europe. Also have a range of "blank" stock items if you want to buy a tshirt and embellish yourselves. www.mantisworld.com
I've been asked many times for organic cotton fabric available from stock in the UK, which would mean very low minimums and a next day delivery service. Do you think this would work? Any feedback appreciated.
