I need contacts for clothing Manufacturers in China?
The 101st“China Import and Export Fair ( Canton Guangzhou)” will be opened in this April, from 15th –30th. Check the website: http://www.cantonfair.org.cn/en/index.asp By then, almost all main factories in china will come to exhibit their products and you shall find the right suppliers. If it is necessary, to set up one representative office in china is one easy and cost less way for you to develop the business. You can assign your staffs to supervise the suppliers production and supervise the quality of products. You can contact me for more details : mar06.assistant@yahoo.com.cn
How much do people working in clothes factories in china get paid?
No way. The federal minimum wage is something like $7.50 per hour, and that amount will only barely sustain life, with no real quality. I suppose that if some form of slavery were implemented, you could force your slaves to live in extremely substandard conditions, but they still have to eat, and, as your property, their healthcare would become your responsibilty (sick or dead slaves sew no sneakers). You have to house them and cloth them as well, which I would assume would also be substandard, but would cost something, none the less. Lets not forget that if we make conditions too awful, our slaves will revolt or run away, so some quality of life, however minor, must be afforded. I would think that paying someone minnimum wage would actualy be less expensive than keeping that same person as a slave. That is whats called "economic servitude", and I'm sure the Chinese are well aware of it.
How pissed off are you about trade relations with China?
You are totally talking about the poor part of China. You go to beijing, shanghai, macau and hong kong... they do things right. But you know how the US, etc are rascist to china( most of all asian countries)? They dont import goods to them, and china, being the country with the highest population( and being low in money), have to produce fake things to the citizens. Plus, the poeple who made those fakes have to earn money for the city due to their low cash. China export goods to other countries, but many doesn't need chinese resourses because others eat a different kind of food, and aside, er, pandas, other countries are content with what they have already. The chinese are therefore sort of poor. Its not like other poeple doesnt steal the chinese's inventions. Fireworks and the bombs were invented by the chinese(till npw theyre still the best), qinghua too, AND Turkey stole the entire method and put it as their own tradition, even in fact that they were by China. Plus, who doesnt hate fake stuff? About 99% chinese perchase the real stuff, and only 1% buys the fake... that 1% are only peasants. That didnt stop Americans, etc to earn less money. Think about africa. They sell smartphones, but do you think poeple are rich enough to buy it? If africas have the resources, they wouldve made fakes too. And the chinese never sell the fakes to other countries, so its not a big affection. Its better to have fakes, and on percent of credit goes to the original company, than have no poeple to buy at all. I dont know if im on the right track. But anyway, it doesnt piss me off that much, after i looked behind the scenes. Do poeple get so pissed of the chinese by all reasons? Is it rascism? anyway, i dont know...im not even Asian myself! Im not some sorta loving-self-country person, because i'm a justice american. Am i going too deep, and is this even on the right track?

I'm a clothing designer how can I find a manufactor in China or Indonesia who will make big quanteties for me
I'd suggest China (rather than Indonesia) just because they can provide better manpower and are always willing to meet your requirements (quantity & quality). For a listing of good manufacturers in China, you can check out the website below. In response to the previous Answer re: child labor, not all factories in Indonesia employ children. My family owns a garment factory and we do not employ grade school age children, and we always pay our employees' salaries.
Do illegal immigrants take good paying factory jobs?
The Hypocrisy of the U.S, immigration law was on lurid display last week in a raid on a DEFENSE contractor in New England. Accompanied by dogs and a helicopter swooping overhead, hundreds of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents charged into Michael Bianco Inc, a leather-goods factory in New Bedford, Mass., that makes backpacks, ammunition pouches and other gear for G.I.s. 360 illegal immigrants employees at the plant,many of them women from Guatemala and other Central American nations. The workers had toiled in sweatshop conditions etc, they were whisked away to detention centers in New Mexico And Texas without regards for their families and some were nursing mothers. Three days after the raid a federal judge barred immigration officials from transporting any more detainees out of states One of the absurdities revealed after the raid:Because the factory held $90 million federal contracts the Pentagon had maintained a quality control office there staffed by an inspector who had to know the employees were illegal.The factory owner was charged and jailed over night was released and the factory open for business the next day. ICE released 90 detainees for humanitarian reasons.
How do I manufacture clothing in china?
1.You can ask vendors to produce according to your drawing, pictures or you can choose suppliers' model directly if you like it. both are ok. 2. Small qty is not a problem but will surely affect your cost, however you need to find a right / strategic vendor for future cooperation, Key point is find a reliable,quality supplier, some rules must be followed: 1.Be careful to internet, All information from Alibaba, Made-in-china,globalsource...should be filtered by yourself. and the so called star suppliers just paid more money than others. 2.On-site audit or investigation is a must even if you are a local Chinese, you don't know how some rubbish suppliers have a very beatiful and attractive website, i had this experience just last week. 3. Quota is a issue for clothing, vendor will solve it, so don't care it so much. Please contact me if you need any support ! Good luck!

Hi thereI will give you a straightforward answer here.There are many websites out there that would show a list of clients or maybe portals that show you how to get clients.While, sitting in front of a computer desk, you cannot tell authentic from fake or self-interest from honest opinion.I’m here to tell you two things that my experience from working at Utelier.com has taught me:The fashion industry has become highly competitive, congested, and closed-door. You cannot trust everyone you meet or read about. While there are good companies, doing genuine work for its customers but it’s getting difficult to create a transparent community of individuals who do more good than harm. So the blog I manage, tells you exactly what you want to know. Like 9 tips to help you find the right manufacturer, or why to look for fashion manufacturers locally. This and more are just one honest step in the right direction. If you can’t find your answers here then I suggest you leave your questions at editor [at the rate] utelier [dot] com. Our founder has more than 16 years of experience in exactly this!You do not get anything for free. There is always an asterisk next to a free offering. While there are many directories which give you free information about a buyer, manufacturer, or a designer; not many (read nil), give you free information of their MOQ, company history, product specialization, processes done, etc. it’s almost like a mini-webpage for the company/individual. So directories like these, are not only transparent for a customer, but also beneficial for the person signing-up.Let me know if you need more help....Full disclosure: I am the Digital Marketing Manager at Fashion Insiders and Co.Fashion Insiders is a fashion business education and support platform where Co. stands for Community. If you want to launch, grow or scale-up your fashion business then this is the place to be.
Hey,Honestly, there are just too many clothing manufacturers in China, and most of them claim to offer their collection at the “cheapest” price. And choosing the best clothing manufacturer is very critical and not easy. If you need wholesale fitness or boutique clothing, I have a suggestion, give a look at Alanic Clothing, one of the best wholesale clothing manufacturer & distributor in USA, Australia, China and many other countries. They supplies cheap wholesale clothing for men, women and kids. And if you need wholesale sublimation clothing, I recommend you to check out Oasis Sublimation. They have same location as Alanic Clothing, Both they have private label option. I know many people who has bought wholesale clothes from them. You can go with them. But one thing, you must have your own decision to choose the best clothing manufacturer. Thank you.
