The right manufacturer
• Good to know
• Start prospecting before the season starts - “first come, first served”
¾ The time factor is utterly important.
¾ Be on time, respecting the right time zone� Summer collection (November until February)
� Winter collection (June until August)
• Select a supplier according to your product needs eg. Tricot machinery tricot
• Better a few models / week than all at once
The right manufacturer• Creamoda & it’s members
• Belgian Designer Partners
¾ Manufacturers are willing to work on the realization of the collection(s) of starters and to do an additional effort
¾ “Meet & Greet” events
• Creamoda website contains a substantial list of Belgian manufacturers
• Advantages of production with a Belgian partner:
¾ Coaching & advise
¾ Visit, control & corrections
¾ Small orders
The right manufacturer
• Questions to ask…
• Working with starters ? Product types ?
• Volume big or small orders ? Quality level ? Price level ?
Are modifications possible ? Capacity booking ?
Timing ?
• Terms of delivery ? Payment terms ?
Social compliance ?
• Product Safety ? Product testing ?
• Sustainable manufacturing ?
The right manufacturer
Price & conscious choice
Basic Model: if you have a good basic fit re-use it . With some minor
modifications = can be less expensive than making a completely new one.
Careful with Fabric Consumption (draperies…)
Manual finishing or machine finishing.
Bio / Eco materials and finishing
MOQ Minimum order quantities
Remember
•A good preparation makes half of the work
•A clear communication = crucial ( Technical file )
•A clear quality sketch sometimes says more than words
•Provide a sufficient amount of fabrics and additionals ( buttons can get
broken in the factory…)
•Think about your labels, composition, brand, size, care instructions
EU-Regulation No 1007/2011from 27/09/2011
• Prescribes the way the fibre composition of products needs to be indicated
by means of a label/marking in order to protect the needs of the customer
• Textile products may only placed on the EU market when they comply with
the directives of that regulation
• The full name needs to be used: cotton, acrylic, polyester, …
• http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=
OJ:L:2011:272:0001:0064:EN:PDF
EU-Regulation No 1007/2011from 27/09/2011
• Article 12: extra notice “contains non-textile parts of animal origin”
9 Percentage does not matter and the animal species does not need to bespecified
IMPORTANT: even a leather label on a textile product needs to bementioned!
Fibre composition
• Legally obliged in all European countries for all textile products
• Textile product = a product min. 80% by weight made out of
textile fibres
• Needs to be written in the national language
• Abbreviations are not allowed
• Written in descending order eg. 50% cotton 40% wool 10% nylon
Fibre names• Fibre names are determined by law only
• Official fibre name (generic name) = NOT a trademark or
marketing name
• Not related to the manufacturer
Eg. Coolmax, Lycra, Tervira, Tencel, Danufil...are not generic
fibre names
• In principle there is only 1 generic name
9There is 1 exception: polyamide and nylon are synonyms
9Flax and Linen can both be used
The Care label• The care label is not abligated by law in the EU member states however:
¾ Obligated use of symbols in Austria
¾ Obligated use of symbols or text in Italy
• The symbols indicate maximum resistance to care and laundring
• The pictograms are the property of GINETEX. ETITEX owns the rights for
Belgium and Luxemburg
The Care label• Use the symbols with care
• Respect the sequence of the symbols
• When using the symbols, you need to pay a fee to Etitex
http://www.etitex.be
• Continuous text = allowed but needs to be written in the national
language
