The technicians in each office keep each other updated of any changes or amendments. The merchandisers follow this closely to update customers about any matters that could affect delivery etc…

8. Design & Sourcing Our Design & Sourcing teams work with each other, forecasting new trends from cat walks, WGSN, Media and other sources of inspiration. Design asks sourcing to find and develop certain new fabrics, and once sourced, the design team will create new styles in these fabrics. Sourcing also constantly finds new fabrics from our existing and new fabric suppliers/agents and keeps the design team updated with the latest creations. We are working with many fabric suppliers world wide, most of who are located in the Far East and some in Europe. With most of our suppliers we have an excellent relationship, which allows us to develop new fabrics quickly and also keeps the prices low due to constant business. As we are not fabric manufacturers ourselves, we rely greatly on our suppliers to keep us updated on new fabrics they have developed and transparency, so they update us with any foreseeable quality issues, which in turn we relay to our customers. The next slide will show you our offices in red and our supplier locations in yellow.

10. RPO Comparison – Bulgaria vs Bangladesh Bulgaria Bulgarian machinists have the ability to make complex garments as historically they have been making tailored garments. For fashion garment that need to be in shop quickly, we offer production in Bulgaria. This happens by getting the materials into this region quickly and producing complex fashionable garments and deliver them to our customers quickly. We offer quick leadtimes for production even though most of our fabrics are the from the Far East. Leadtime by road from Bulgaria by road to any part of the EU is a maximum of 5 days. Leadtime by sea to the Far East is an average of 4 weeks. Staff turnover is very low, so when we train our machinists, they stay with us, learning more techniques to manufacture more complex garments. We can quickly turn around samples and get them to our customers for approval much quicker than the Far East. Technicians have a European eye and know what the customer wants in terms of quality. Prices are very competitive for the products we offer, sometimes even better than the Far East.

11. RPO Comparison – Bulgaria vs Bangladesh Bangladesh We opened our first production unit in Dhaka in 2010, but with the aim of manufacturing semi-fancy garments at very low prices. It was a huge challenge as the knowledge of operators in Bangladesh is very basic. Being operators many people only work on one operation at a time, making basic tops, vests, leggings etc… and the challenge we had was educating the workers to become machinists so they could make whole garments themselves. We have bought into Bangladesh our senior technicians, QCs, factory mangers etc who have been training and helping to setup our factory to make these semi-fancy garments and have been successful in this. We have been offering for over two years more detailed garments in fancy fabrics at very low prices. We have achieved something that was thought to be impossible in this region, and have already opened up our second unit which has started production on fancy garments and denim garments. Combining Bulgaria and Bangladesh means that we can also split orders between the 2 regions for price and speed which is helping our customers keep prices low and have certain portions in the shops quickly.

12. Future Expansion We are looking into opening up a third production unit in Bangladesh As there are no good basic fabric suppliers in Bangladesh, we are also looking into opening up a partnership with a very good Turkish fabric supplier in Dhaka (Knitting, Dying, Finishing) Moving into Africa as a retailer and opening up a production unit. Most likely to go into Kenya first. Still under research.
