Fabric

Dear Sir/Madam,

I hope this email finds you well.

I am writing to you as I am planning on launching my start up fashion label MELA this year and am looking to work with a few manufacturers to start the sampling process.

I am designing high quality womenswear and menswear resort style clothing for an Australian and International (Asia and European) premium market clientele.

I am looking for a manufacturer that is capable of producing my designs based on fashion illustrations and technical (production) sketches. Some of my designs will require printing (screen and digital) as well as embroidery, applique, garment dyes and special treatments on fabric.

I am wanting to source fabric that is ethical and sustainable, meaning that the fabric should either be recycled, deadstock or organic, with a preference for natural blends.

There are also a few designs that need knitwear and crochet panels that will be inserted into the designs, so please let me know your capability to source manufacturers that produce this.

If you could you please:
- confirm your production capabilities
- confirm your fabric sourcing capabilities
- confirm general costings
- confirm general lead times
- provide names of brands you have worked in the past
- provide any catalogues you may have
- confirm the process that your company follows when sampling
- confirm pattern making capabilities

I look forward to hearing from you
