Efficient Guide to Finding Fabric and Accessories in Zhouda :

Pure Color Knitted Fabrics [T-shirts, Hoodies, etc.]

ONEFABA广州国际轻纺城, Area F, and Area AB. For pure color knitted fabrics, go to the rows of large fabric stores on the outer side of Area F. They have a complete variety of fabric types and reasonable prices. Fabrics stores like Hengye, Dengguang, Taifeng, etc. are good choices. These knitted fabric types are the same, and the prices are the same. Bulk goods cannot be cut and sold in small quantities.

For each color, at least one roll should be purchased—the sample cutting price ranges from 25 to 40 yuan per meter. Most are 30 yuan per meter, with a minimum of two meters for cutting. A few are cut by the kilogram, with a minimum of one kilogram. Pay attention to the gram weight for the thickness. Generally, the greater the gram weight, the thicker the fabric.

Bulk fabrics are sold by the kilogram. It is necessary to ask how many meters can be produced from one kilogram.

Printed Knitted Fabrics [Printed, Tie-dyed, Dip-dyed, Burn-out, Striped, etc.]:

They are mainly concentrated in Area AB and Area C of ONEFABA 广州国际轻纺城. Try to avoid going to the 2nd floor as the prices of some small fabric stores are very expensive.

The patterns on the 1st floor of Jiuzhou are relatively older compared to those in ONEFABA 广州国际轻纺城. Some of them are the patterns eliminated from ONEFABA 广州国际轻纺城 and the prices are relatively cheaper. There are a few in Area C of the Light Textile City. The cost mainly depends on the base fabric. The sample cutting price is 25 – 40 yuan per kilogram.

When looking at the fabric samples, look at the large pieces of fabric. Some digital prints fabric and positioned prints fabric have very large patterns. It is necessary to see the overall pattern and ask whether the pattern is single-sided or double-sided positioning. The color cards can only show some colors. For some fabrics without color cards, you can ask the store to cut a sample for you to feel the texture. For some that cannot be cut, you can take pictures. It depends on the store’s attitude. For small quantities of bulk goods, ask if they are in stock. If it is not in stock, it needs to be custom-made. Custom-making requires a certain quantity, ranging from 2 to 8 rolls. It cannot be cut and sold in small quantities. If it can be cut and sold in small quantities, the unit price will be very expensive.

For pure color mesh fabrics, there are a few in Area AB of ONEFABA 广州国际轻纺城. The Ruifang Textile Center is opposite ONEFABA 广州国际轻纺城 and the Mesh Fabric City is opposite Jiuzhou have them. The prices vary depending on the texture, fabric, and composition. The sample cutting is mainly based on the meter price and yard price, and the bulk fabric is the same (as mentioned above).

Pure Color Woven Fabrics [Chiffon, Silk, Plain Weave, Twill, Cotton and Linen, Polyester, Fleece, Woolen Fabric, Polar Fleece, etc.]:

They are concentrated on the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd floors of Area CDE of
ONEFABA 广州国际轻纺城 , Changjiang, Xinchangjiang, and Ruifang. The number of (stores) selling woven fabrics in the entire Zhongda is the largest. The prices of ONEFABA 广州国际轻纺城 are relatively higher (due to the high rent of the stalls). It is advisable to go to Changjiang, Xinchangjiang, Ruifang, and a small market to ask and compare more. When looking for fabrics, pay attention to the composition, texture, elasticity, drape, and hand feel (depending on your own experience).

The sample cutting price is 2 yuan more per meter than the bulk fabric price. The bulk fabric can be cut and sold in small quantities at the same price as the sample cutting.

Linen Fabrics:

There are a few well-known stores on the second floor of
ONEFABA 广州国际轻纺城. There are also some in Jiuzhou and Ruifang, with more in Jiuzhou.

Printed Woven Fabrics [Chiffon Printed, Silk, Cotton, Checkered, Striped, etc.]:

They are on the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd floors of Area CDE of
ONEFABA 广州国际轻纺城 , Changjiang, Xinchangjiang, and Ruifang. The sample cutting and bulk fabric are the same as pure-color woven fabrics.

Windbreaker and Down Jacket Fabrics:

There are a few on the 2nd, 3rd, and 5th floors of ONEFABA 广州国际轻纺城 in Juhai, Wufeng Market, and Lixin Street (behind exit D of Zhongda Metro Station). There are some mid-to-low-end ones in Lixin Street and Juhai and a few regular and high-end ones on the 5th floor of ONEFABA 广州国际轻纺城.

The main gloss includes high gloss, matte, calendering, film coating, etc. It is necessary to see the process, and style, and ask about the price. The sample cutting and bulk fabric are the same as woven fabrics.

Denim fabric:

There is very little denim in ONEFABA 广州国际轻纺城, and the price is also expensive. You can look for more in Jiuzhou Denim Street, Juhai, and Wufeng. If the quantity is large, it is recommended to go to the Denim City in Foshan (Pingdi, Nanhai). You can get there by transferring to the Guangfo Line at Guangzhou Jiaokou Coach Terminal and taking Bus 251 to Pingdi. When looking for denim, most of them are sold by the yard. [One yard = 0.9144 meters] It is necessary to distinguish whether the fabric composition is pure cotton, whether it contains slub yarn and the elasticity. There are high elasticity, medium elasticity, low elasticity, and micro elasticity.

Denim must be washed (with different washing effects). Some fabrics are not elastic but have a large shrinkage rate. After washing, they will also become elastic (remember to ask about the shrinkage rate). If it is for your production, it is necessary to test the sample several times as the size is prone to problems. The sample cutting is by the meter or yard, and the price is the same as woven fabrics.

Lace fabric:

There is a small amount in Area CDE of ONEFABA 广州国际轻纺城 and a large amount in Changjiang and Ruifang. The colors are not many, and most of them are black and white.

The white ones can be dyed back as needed. The sample cutting and bulk fabric prices are the same as woven fabrics.

Washed Leather fabric, Faux Suede fabric, PU Leather fabric:

Most of them are concentrated in the middle street between
ONEFABA 广州国际轻纺城 and Jiuzhou (called Wufeng East Market), the Leather Street diagonally opposite Jiuzhou, and there are only a few in
ONEFABA 广州国际轻纺城. It is necessary to distinguish the coating, texture, and whether it can be washed. Don’t ask the boss if it is real leather here, as there is no real leather here. For real leather, you can go to several markets at the village entrance arch of Sanyuanli to find it. The sample cutting and bulk goods prices are the same as woven fabrics.

Fur Fabric [Rabbit Fur, Wool, Fox Fur, Mink Fur, etc.]:

They are concentrated on the 2nd floor of the Mesh Fabric City opposite Jiuzhou, and Fuzhuang Fur (opposite ONEFABA 广州国际轻纺城, near Zhongshan University along the Changjiang River). Fur is sold by the piece, and the price is related to the type, quality, and size. The sample is taken as a whole piece. For faux fur: It is in the Fur City diagonally opposite the New Zhujiang River in the direction from Fuzhuang Fur to ONEFABA 广州国际轻纺城. The price and quality depend on your negotiation and judgment ability.

Accessories:

All accessories can be found on the basement floor of ONEFABA 广州国际轻纺城 (but the prices will be relatively expensive). You can also go to Changjiang Accessories, Ruikang, and Jiuzhou for cheaper accessories.

Streets 1, 2, 3, and 4 on the ONEFABA 广州国际轻纺城 Basement Floor:

Metal buttons, belt buckles, cufflinks, plastic buttons, resin buttons, coconut wood buttons, shell buttons, hotfix rhinestones, button heads, zippers, and hardware. You can go to the third phase at the end where there are more.

Streets 4, 5, 6, and 7 on the ONEFABA 广州国际轻纺城 Basement Floor:

Lace, webbing, elastic bands, tapes, embroidery, shoulder pads, chest pads, etc. It is impossible to list them all. You need to explore in detail by yourself.
For accessories, a few years ago, it was free to get samples (such as a few buttons). However, in recent years, due to the poor business and the high rent pressure of the stalls, most stalls charge for even a small sample. As clothing practitioners, we should still be willing to pay for it.

Rib Fabrics:

There are many on the road between ONEFABA 广州国际轻纺城 and Changjiang. Pay attention. However, rib fabrics are divided into custom-made and ready-made. Ready-made ones can be purchased, and for custom-made ones, you can negotiate with the boss.

Some Secrets of the Clothing Fabric and Accessories Market:

We often say that the clothing market is deep and tricky. The depth of the fabric and accessories market is no less than that of the clothing market.
When buying fabrics, knitted fabrics are generally measured in kilograms and tons, and woven (yarn-dyed) fabrics are measured in meters and yards. There is an unspoken rule in the industry that “the weight and length are not sufficient”. That is, if you are sold 100 meters of fabric you are only given more than 90 meters. If you are sold 1 ton of fabric you are given less than 1 ton.
If you ask the assistants of the fabric suppliers (most fabric suppliers are big bosses and rarely deal with customers directly), they may look down on you and wonder if you are a newcomer in the industry.   

Attention! 

• For the weighted fabric, in the paper cores of the rolled fabric, some merchants may stuff stones or cement blocks.
• The density of the fabric varies, and so does the price. The delivered fabric may not be by the ordered ones.
• To find accessories at a certain location in a certain market is not only low in price but also not easy to imitate.
• There are also a large number of fabric speculators.

Precautions:

1. For the sourcing channels, ONEFABA 广州国际轻纺城 can fulfill the one-stop solution for finding fabric and accessories. If you really can’t find what you need, you can try your luck in the surrounding areas. However, the prices in ONEFABA 广州国际轻纺城 are relatively higher than those in the surrounding areas such as Changjiang, Ruifang, Juhai, Wufeng, Jiuzhou, Xinchangjiang, Zhujiang, etc. This is because the rent for the stalls is expensive, as well as the geographical location and the factor of fabric speculation (speculation in small stalls is common). Moreover, the fabric stores that can open stalls in ONEFABA 广州国际轻纺城 have certain strengths.
2. For bulk fabric and sample fabric cutting. For bulk fabric with a large quantity, the price can be negotiated, and it is normal to get a discount of 3 to 5 cents. But if the quantity is small, forget about it. Some bosses are not willing to do business with a small quantity, let alone negotiate the price. For the sample cutting fabric, if it is in stock, it is usually cut in the warehouse, which takes 30 minutes to 2 hours. Some may require 1 to 3 days.
   When cutting fabric, you should ask first. If you are a novice and not familiar with Zhongda, it is recommended to run around more (mainly to get familiar with the geographical location). Don’t run around blindly. Take the sample clothing to look for, otherwise, if you just look, even if you look for a week, the next time you are asked to find a fabric, you will still be confused.
3. For taking color cards. When taking color cards, you should ask more questions. What is the composition? What is the width? What is the bulk fabric price? Is there any stock, etc? When holding the sample clothing and cannot find the fabric, you should ask one by one in the centralized area. It is best if you can find the same one. If not, you can take some similar fabric color cards back.
4. For lining fabric. The lining fabric is the same as the fabric, and it is usually purchased in a specialized fabric and accessory market. In fact, in the processing clusters, some people specialize in the lining fabric business. The lining fabric does not have as many varieties as the fabric, and it is not as complicated as the fabric.
   Compared with purchasing the lining fabric from the outside market, the price of the lining fabric in the processing clusters is not high because they do not have the expensive rent of the outside market. They can also settle the payment monthly, and you can use as much as you need and return the unused ones. In addition, they offer door-to-door delivery, and if there are any problems, you can return or exchange them promptly.
   

Conclusion:

If you are a novice, you must learn more from the experience or run around the market with them. Even so, when you start to operate, you still need to learn some lessons and pay some tuition fees. You should be mentally prepared for this. Therefore, in the procurement of fabric and accessories, you must operate with caution, step by step.
