5 Clothing Suppliers I Vetted to Help Start Your Brand
Plus the exact 6-point filter I used to narrow 40 Alibaba listings down to these five.
Most people spend weeks scrolling Alibaba and still end up messaging the wrong factories.
I’ve spent months inside Guangzhou factories. The filter comes from what I learned on those floors: it catches what a listing will never tell you.
What you’ll get
- 5 supplier listings + why each one passed my filter
- The 6-point filter I run on every listing before I message anyone
- One bonus supplier I met in person in Guangzhou
- The first message I send: copy, paste, attach your mock-up, send
- A Starter Tech Pack to place your artwork and show suppliers your design
These suppliers were vetted from public Alibaba listings using the same filter inside. My personal factory network is separate. Always sample before placing a bulk order.
