Bespoke Apparel & Accessories Production Company based in China.

Hi, I’m Tina - I’m an Aussie expat living in China and running my Production company since 2009. It is from my experience that I wanted to create Fabric Jungle - a platform dedicated to empowering fashion startups and established brands with the support of industry expert advice, sourcing and production resources to help them grow AND thrive.

Follow along as I’ll be sharing some quick tips and know-how, behind the scenes at factories, fabric sourcing and…occasionally some random stuff you’d only see in China!

Send me a DM or email if you’d like to learn more or if you’re stuck on any design or production dilemmas - I may not always have every answer, but I sure love to help you find out!

@@ebbyoma7008 You're welcome 🙂. Both fabrics can come in tighter or looser weaves depending on the manufacturer and market demands. But Drills mainly have tighter options available, whereas Twill are more widely available in tight AND loose options.

In the USA and UK, most people use fleece or French terry for hoodies? Please let me know which one is best and which is more in demand.

@@aneequedesigner7608 I don't consider one being better than the other because I've seen so much improvement in quality in both types of fabrics. And I get more less the same amount of requests for either one. It really comes down to personal preference. I personally prefer the feel and look of French Terry more.

Eco-Cozy fabrics are still a newly developed type of Sustainable and Eco-friendly Fabric 🌳 made from recycled cellulose fibres. I've made a few samples in a Ribbed knit to test wear and wash 🧐.

• I may be a hoarder in the making 😬 but when it comes to the very 'on-trend' samples we make I like to keep them for as long as I can • Because like almost all fashion trends, they'll eventually come back around and if I have a similar sample on hand (or stashed away somewhere amongst my thousands of samples), it's very helpful for quick inspo and fit/pattern reference ✂ • #fashiondesign #fashiontrends #trending #garmentmanufacturer #clothingproduction #bubbledress #bubbleskirt #productionhouse #designinspiration

• This Embroidery effect is one of my favourites (yes sorry I do have a few 😍😅) • It has a very soft and fuzzy texture to it with a bristle-like appearance, hence the 🪥 Toothbrush Embroidery name • But as much as I love this, most embroidery factories are NOT so keen about them • This is actually very time consuming to make ⏳ and requires WAY more manual labour to physically finish the embroidery • Truth be told they'd rather you pick another technique instead of this one 😅 • But if you DO want to try this, I'd suggest using a smaller graphic design (perhaps no bigger than the palm of your hand 🖐🏼) to start with, so it's not too labour intensive and expensive to make • And most importantly, be prepared to commit to 300 units at least per design, which seems to be the average MOQ for something fancy like this • #embroideryeffect #embroidery #bape #graphicdesign #fashiondesign #designinspo #garmentmanufacturer #clothingmanufacturer #clothingproduction

• This is probably the one color that makes us cringe a bit when we see WHITE on a bulk order 😣 • Although certain materials are more stain resistant than others (which would be a relief!) • But even then, every step of production requires extra care • From physically handling the materials to ensuring all the machinery is clean and dust free • Which is why some extra time should be worked into production timelines to ensure the final product is looking flawless 🤍 • #fashiondesign #garmentmanufacturer #apparelmanufacturing #factory #behindthescenes #fashiondesigner #textiles

I find these videoes so interesting and helpful as i just started in working in factory. Disregarding my job as a graphic designer there, I'm required to know all the fabric and material used in every garment when digital drawing cads and its alot for a young person out of college to handle who never studied "fashion design", let alone doing mostly female garments instead of mens lol. Understanding tech packs like this video and how the process goes through you guys makes me appreciate the job even more as its alot of work and clothing is not easy. I'm learning alot on this channel❤😇❤️thank you

• Sooo much more work goes on behind the scenes once we start processing tech packs • Even just the format/layout of your tech packs can either help us speed things up 😀 or slow us riiiight down 😖 • So it's worth checking with your factory partners to get some feedback to see how you can help each other streamline this process • Because in a busy factory environment, everything and everyone has to keep things moving along, otherwise YOUR orders just might be pushed back in line 😑 • #garmentmanufacturer #apparelmanufacturing #fashiondesigner #factory #behindthescenes #fashiondesign

• Greige wool is still a raw yarn - like a blank canvas, which hasn't been dyed, bleached, or finished in any way, and it retains its natural lanolin (which doesn't smell that great unfortunately 😬🐑) • The production of greige wool in China has improved a great deal over the last decade, it use to be awfully coarse and prickly, which caused most of us to cringe on the thought of wearing wool sweaters 😖 • Nowadays they can be ultra-soft to begin with, which helps reduce the need for extensive processing, and making a comfortable/non-irritating finished product much easier to achieve • These scarf samples are ready to be sent off to dye a variety of colors 🌈 #knitwear #wool #knitwearfactory #garmentmanufacturer #fashiondesign #yarns

• Colourful graphics and patterns doesn’t have to be limited to printing on textile fabrics only, you can actually KNIT lots of pattern designs • However, it is best to stick to a maximum of 5-6 colours per pattern/graphic design and avoid any small, fine details as these can easily get lost in the thickness of the yarns once knitted • 👉Follow us for more Fashion Design & Product Inspo #fashiondesignideas #knitwear #jacquard #intarsia #fashiondesigninspo #fashiondesigner #garmentmanufacturer #fashionproduction

• One of the many reasons why I adore Shanghai is that amid the modern high-rises and glitzy high-end retail stores, you can still chance upon heritage buildings and historic neighbourhoods • For example, Kristy and I were walking towards the Amiri flagship store on Nanjing Road and this charming old Chinese restaurant caught the corner of my eye as I walked past • Just tucked away discreetly from the busy road, and although it was raining and we didn’t have a lot of time on our hands (us being moms, of course we couldn’t leave without making the final mad dash to the souvenir store before our flight in the afternoon 🎁), I just had to get a closer look… like as if I had found an old hidden treasure 😍 • And indeed as it turns out, this restaurant is a historic gem, dating back to its founding in 1938 having once served as the favored gathering spot for socialites and politicians • #china #shanghai #chinesehistory #historicbuildings #antiques #travel #hiddengems

• I’m actually not a big fan of Starbucks coffee… maybe because I’ve lived in Australia for too long where there is such a demanding (and fussy) coffee drinking community ☕, which is also the same reason why Starbucks have struggled to establish a strong presence there for years • But I heard and seen glimpses of pictures of the Starbucks Reserve Roastery in Shanghai and I was keen to check it out while I was in the city • I believe there are only 6 of these in the world and the Roastery in Shanghai did offer an impressive array of experiences like no other ordinary Starbucks store • Firstly, it was beautifully designed with a ‘mini roasting and packing factory inside’ and a 40-ton copper cask as the centrepiece that roasted coffee beans • There’s also an Italian bakery called Princi, serving freshly baked bread, pastries, and pizzas • It was the first time Starbucks had partnered with Princi outside of Italy • Their coffee menu offered a more exclusive variety of Starbucks coffee drinks (sorry you’ll have to get your usual Frappuccinos and Caramel Macchiatos at the ‘normal’ Starbucks across the road) • And if you really want the full Starbucks coffee drinking experience while you’re here - you can take their coffee tastings and brewing classes to learn more about the intricacies of coffee preparation 🧐 • If you like coffee and you like the Starbucks brand, this is definitely worth a visit if you come to Shanghai • #travel #china #starbucks #starbucksreserveroastery #shanghai #coffeenation #coffeelovers
