To everyone asking about the “beware of trading companies”: a trading company acts as a middle person between the factory and you. You would not be communicating with the factory directly which means you will typically not be getting the best price.

This is not always true. A good middle man can sometimes be like an outsourced sales person for the factory. They will receive commission from the factory as a sales bonus similarly to what they would otherwise offer their internal sales team as well but not be in payroll which saves the factory money.

Sounds like a group buy! The mechanical keyboard community does this frequently, someone will make a design for a set of keycaps or a keyboard and contact a factory/company that does group buys (see GMK) and then will share the design with the community. Once enough people sign up for it, they all pay the factory together to produce the product. The downside to this is that depending on what's ordered, shipping times can sometimes take years but I'm not sure if that would apply to clothing. AFAIK group buys are done in other hobbies/communities and for other products but I don't know of any examples off the dome :)

Great video! Shipping costs also plays a big part of the process. Sometimes the shipping on a sample order can be almost as much as the sample order itself. Big brands are able to reduce shipping costs because of the volume that is ordered. They purchase containers of goods while a smaller brand may only start with 200 or 300 pieces so then a $15 shirt landed can be closer to $30. If anyone is looking to buy a sample order something that you can do is piggyback your shipping off another company's container order. At times that does take some additional work because you'll have to connect with the other company. The suppliers I have worked with in the past piggybacked my order on a bigger order with approval from the other company since both orders were going to the same location. Very informative video. This will be helpful for a lot of people looking to start a brand.

Keep in mind, there are port release taxes, import taxes and more, depending on where you based.

What many people don't appreciate is the addtional cost of selling these goods (or anything else) in a shop or through ecommerce is very high (shipping, insurance, taxes, warehousing, marketing, payment fees, returns etc etc). TBH some of the prices quoted sound high (probably cause of the low volumes mentioned) and would be tough to make a profit from. You'd have a lot of capital tied up in goods that will or won't sell.

Not really “tough to make a profit”, for fast fashion brands with cheaper pricing, the profit margins are around 15% to 40% which is low but they rely on high volume sales.

I brought a NorthFace reversible fleece direct from factory £15. 20% of garments from highend to fast fashion are unsold and just incinerated. So think 1 in 5 when you go shopping just take your the car park an set it on fire. This is what actually happens. The money all goes on marketing, celebrity endorsement and store rents. This is what you pay. A 100ml Dior Savvage cost 14p to make. They sell it for around £80. Fragrance just sits on the shelf the majority of the year Xmas and Bdays is when people buy it. So they sit on the shelf and don't move most of the year. Black Friday is referred to a retail stores due to the first time in the year they turn a profit.

First of all, the H Q D U P S materials used in this replica are top-notch. The leather feels soft and luxurious, just like the real thing. The stitching is impeccable, no loose or uneven lines. The hardware, including the signature CC twist-lock closure, is sturdy and well-made, adding to the overall elegance of the bag.

Not sure why this was recommended, but very interesting. Well made video. I would have thought the mark up would have been higher on some of these. When you figure in shipping, brick and mortar and employees plus the brain damage to get everything to that point. I am curious what the profit per garment is when it finally leaves the store. And then when it leaves a place like Ross dress for less… interesting stuff. I always like to learn something new. Have a great day my man. Be safe in your travels

Fascinating! However, I now have a host of other questions. Who exactly is making these garments? Slaves/indentured servants? Eight year olds? Is there any mechanism in place to address concerns along the supply chain? Are there ever any discussions regarding sourcing of materials by these trading companies? I can't imagine so but still, I'm curious.

@tat317911 ай бұрын
Lol. Slave labour - that little chestnut again. This is not the 1990s or the early 2000s China. Chinese labour is no longer THAT cheap. The reason Chinese manufacturing is this competitive is simple - 99 percent manufactured components that is needed to build a widget is itself located in China. What China imports are ultra high end products (high end chips) and raw materials. That is why when people say "decoupling" or "friend shoring" to India for instance they make it like it is so easy like labour is just one factor. It is the entire supply chain that countries need to replicate and getting the trained labour in the numbers needed is not something you can snap a finger and it materializes. Slave labour. Lol. Keep up with the times.

Do they based on what country is the brand from? If it’s from a first world country, then they price it 3x more than the real factory price they’ll give for local chinese brands or 3rd world country like southeast asia, central asia (india etc). Am i right? I was also questioning some of the pricing here coz i was thinking it should be a lot lower for a factory price, i mean i see shops in taobao thay sells sweaters at 8-10USD, the markup for those must be 70-100%. Deriving the estimated factory price being sold to those local stores in taobao, it seems to be 30-35% than the guy in this channel is being priced at. Am i right on this? Haha i’m from Philippines and i guess being a developing country, you get a sense of the real pricing.

Awesome content. Curious to know if there’s any inherent quality difference between the pieces showcased and those produced. Also curious to know if other than labour cost and sourcing local materials, what makes Japanese factories so much more expensive. Is there an inherent quality difference in the raw materials?
@SJ-fk7mh11 ай бұрын
Not only the JP factories are expensive, the factories featured here are popular, but there are slightly more expensive ones like Wenzhou Aile, or JYY who works with exclusive real Italian fabrics as well. It depends on what brand you are talking about. Fast fashion like Uniqlo generally doesn't have a difference. But when you go to their high-end fashion like Visvim, the raw materials alone are through the roof, we're talking about Giza 45 Egyptian cotton and the likes, not generic non-branded cotton. Same for their denims, some of them are still hand-washed, as opposed to throwing them in a washer with pumice stones, they take more pride in their work (not talking about fast fashion). And you can tell - some fast fashion denim would still have remnants of the pumice stones in their pockets, while more expensive denim like Neighborhood or Kapital generally won't. Manufacturing in Japan is still time-consuming and some of them are very specialized. This is only scratching the surface and I'm sure he will have a video about it someday, but to summarize and to answer you simply whether a "Made in Japan" tag carries a premium, Usually Yes.
