The Style Hall: Sourcing Apparel

Phase 3. It's extensive.

1. Key Categories

• Guangzhou (Panyu/Haizhu): Ladies' fashion, dresses, fast fashion (SHEIN suppliers).
• Ningbo/Hangzhou: Men's suits, coats, heavy jackets.
• Xintang (Guangzhou): The "Jeans Capital".

2. The Sample Room

• Every booth has a "Back Room" with the newest designs.
• You are only allowed in if you look serious (Business card, notebook, professional questions).

3. Fabric Quality

• The same design can be made for $5 or $50 depending on the fabric.
• Don't just ask "How much?". Ask "What fabric composition?".

Summary

China's advantage is no longer "Cheap Labor"; it is "Supply Chain Speed". They can turn a design into a sample in 24 hours.
