Fabrics & Trims
Being abreast with what’s happening in the world of fashion is a must; and in order walk hand in hand with the current trends, we frequently research our target markets as well as global result and apparel trade fairs like CPD-Dusseldorf, Premiere Vision-Paris.
It’s the fabric & trims that makes the garment great. But finding the right fabric and high quality trims can be a daunting task in itself. We have separate sourcing departments for fabrics and trims that specialize in sourcing the required products from existing and new vendors nationally and internationally
Fabrics used for making our garments are procured from noted textile mills domestically as well as overseas. Every inch of the greige and processed fabric is checked for quality, uniformity in colour, printing and finishing. All fabrics which enter our fabric stores are thoroughly checked as per the AQL 4 point system.
We keep ample stock of regular qualities to facilitate instant processing and faster deliveries to our esteemed customers.
Trims

Threads, buttons, Lace, tape, lining, Interlining, zippers, labels, care labels etc.
