SOURCING INSIGHT
Fashion apparel and woven garments are concentrated in the industrial clusters of Guangzhou (Guangdong province) for fast fashion and knitwear, Shaoxing and Keqiao (Zhejiang province) for fabrics and apparel assembly, and Ningbo (Zhejiang) for high-end business wear and suits. Sourcing apparel requires strict control over fabric quality and sizing tolerances. MOQs typically range from 500 to 1,000 units per style, with sample lead times of 15 to 30 days. Quality control focuses on dimensional measurements against size charts, seam strength, zipper quality, color shading, and textile defect checking. Sourcing for the EU market requires compliance with REACH regulations for dyes, and Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certification for chemical limits, along with European textile labeling regulation (EU 1007/2011).
What drives the price
Apparel unit pricing is driven by fabric weight (GSM) and composition (natural fibers like cotton and silk vs. synthetic polyester), dyeing or printing techniques, and sewing complexity (minutes of labor per garment). Custom branding accessories (tags, buttons, hangers) also influence the cost.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
- How is the sizing tolerance checked during final quality inspection?
- We measure finished garments against the approved sizing chart. Sizing tolerances are strictly defined (typically +/- 1.0 cm to 1.5 cm for key dimensions like chest width and length) depending on fabric stretch.
- What tests verify that dyed garments will not bleed during washing?
- We perform testing for colorfastness to washing (ISO 105-C06) and colorfastness to water (ISO 105-E01) to verify that dyes do not bleed or transfer onto lighter fabrics in the laundry.
- Are AZO dyes prohibited in apparel imported into the EU?
- Yes, under the REACH framework, aromatic amines derived from azo dyes (which are carcinogenic) are banned. We require all fabric suppliers to present azo-free testing reports from accredited labs.
