Welcome to ApparelSourcingCN — what are you working on?

i, I’m Anna, a sourcing agent based in Shenzhen, China, and the moderator of this community.​

I help overseas clients coordinate sourcing, sampling, production follow-up, quality checks, packaging, and shipping. My recent apparel work has included custom flannel shirts and hockey jerseys.​

I started this community to discuss the practical details of getting clothing made in China: finding suitable suppliers, preparing a sample request, checking measurements, confirming labels, and getting an order ready to ship.​

If you have a question or a project you’re working on, you’re welcome to post it. A few details will help people give you a useful answer:​

• What garment are you making?​

• Do you have reference photos, a tech pack, or an existing sample?​

• Roughly how many pieces do you need, across how many sizes and colours?​

• What needs to be customised?​

• Which country will the order ship to, and when do you need it?​

• Where are you stuck right now?​

You don’t need to share confidential designs or supplier details publicly.​

For transparency, I also offer paid sourcing services. Asking a question here does not require working with me. Suppliers and service providers should clearly disclose their role when participating.​

What are you working on at the moment—and which part do you need help figuring out?
