Fashion Delivered offer a bespoke ‘How to Source a Manufacturer’ + Live Work service.

Finding your ideal manufacturing partner can be a tricky business even for the professionals but if you have some factories you’re already thinking about but are perhaps not sure how best to approach them or what questions to ask then this guide is for you.

What’s included in your Live Work Session?

Fashion Delivered have over 25 years of experience in sourcing the right manufacturing partner for many and varying types of Brands, collections and styles. We have visited literally hundreds of factories in nearly every part of the world. From vast high-tech behemoths to tiny machine rooms and everything in-between. We have also experienced every attempt to cut corners and have delighted in finding those whose passion for industry puts them above everyone else!

Before the session you will receive our 23-page guide to help you prepare your own specific questions and address your specific issues. During the  30-minute guidance session we can the go through these requirements in detail and thus spend the most time benefiting from this hard-won experience.

The Guide

‍We have created a detailed 23-page document giving you some guidance on ‘How to Source a Manufacturer’.

There are many aspects to consider when looking at manufacturers and some will be dependant of the type of style(s) you wish to produce, your timeline, how many you want to make (MOQ) and many other variables!

This guidance will also help you prepare for the sort of questions/information you’ll need to obtain from any potential Manufacturing Partner such as:

• Do they align with your ideals?

• What are their MOQ’s

• What are their lead times?

• What sort of payment terms may they accept?

• How will your intellectual property (IP) be handled?

What you receive:

A guidance session – 30 minutes

You will also receive some direction of further external resources you may need to approach such as where to go to learn more about Supply Chain transparency or where to go to source details on Mills and Manufacturers including their contact information.
