Before contacting a factory

Prepare a clearer cashmere sourcing brief

A useful sourcing brief does not need to be long. Start with the product, material or fiber grade, target quantity, customization, destination and required delivery window. These details help the factory compare sampling, MOQ, production and shipping on the same basis.

  • Product and dimensions
  • Material or fiber grade
  • Quantity and colorways
  • Labels and packaging
  • Delivery destination
  • Required delivery date
