Issue
Many tailors and garment makers struggle to find quality, durable, and long-lasting materials for their projects. Many tailors and garment makers have expressed frustration at having to source fabrics from different parts of town, with limited options and poor quality. This leads to wasted time and expense, negatively affecting their business.
This issue is important because The quality of raw materials used for sewing projects affects the quality of the final product. Using substandard materials results in garments that fall apart quickly and don’t last, damaging the reputation of the tailor or garment maker.
- Tailors and garment manufacturers need high quality materials to build their reputation and attract new customers.
- Quality materials also contribute to the durability of a clothing project.
The current situation is that tailors and clothing manufacturers have to rely on a few markets and textile stores, which mainly sell counterfeit and substandard fabrics, leading to increased costs and quality problems. Additionally, most of these stores do not have adequate space to store their products, resulting in cluttered display areas and an inability to display all of their products equally. Tailors and garment manufacturers need a one-stop shop that meets their material needs.
