At Fashion World Tokyo, the speaker met suppliers for Bape, Yeezy Gap, Stussy, and other major brands in two hours. Trade shows are gold mines for finding factories and inspecting products directly. They're heading to Canton Fair in October.
I spoke to the supplier for Bape and Yeezy Gap and Stussy and CP Company and Fred Perry, and I met them all within 2 hours. But how could I have possibly done that? Well, the answer is trade shows. In this particular case, it happened to be at Fashion World Tokyo in April, but all trade shows are gold mines for meeting factories and seeing their products in hand. More importantly, you get a direct contact at the factory, so you know No, there's no funny business at all. I'm gonna be at the Canton Fair in October, and this is not a promotion. Come find me there and say hi. And if you're looking for world-class factories, I spend my time traveling the world and hunting them down. All of them are listed on my Patreon, and the link is in my bio.
