Hey everyone,
I have been thinking of starting a new clothing brand (I know, another one), and I really am struggling to find ethical manufacturers who would entertain the idea of not so high MOQ in the beginning.
The brand I am building is around adventure clothing so the quality of material + tech used for manufacturing matters a lot. I have been struggling to find reliable resources to find manufacturers who would fit my vision.
As I am willing to pour a significant amount of my personal funds in branding and marketing, I really can’t rely on basic sellers from Aliexpress and would prefer someone reliable with decent ethics (no sweatshops) as well.
Just wanted to ask other entrepreneurs who sell physical goods, what was your process like to find the best manufacturers/wholesellers.
Most people look for manufacturers in more rural places like China, Pakistan etc. for cheaper prices. If you’re worried about ethics, you can always make a trip down on-site and survey the manufacturers that you’ve shortlisted.
