LONDON & STOCKHOLM — November 8, 2026 — Global Fashion Suppliers today announced the public debut of its curated B2B apparel sourcing directory, establishing the most comprehensive independent index of verified fashion manufacturers, textile mills, tanneries, and tailoring ateliers worldwide.
The directory indexes 6,970 verified corporate entities spanning 34 nations—from European luxury craft belts in Italy, Portugal, and France to high-volume manufacturing hubs across Turkey, China, India, Pakistan, Mexico, Indonesia, and the United States.
Unlike ad-supported open marketplaces or broker-dominated directories, Global Fashion Suppliers operates with a strict verification and data-privacy protocol: company domains and executive contact dossiers are verified and held securely in a private vault, preventing bot scraping while ensuring member brands receive direct, unbrokered access to factory owners, managing directors, and merchandising leads.
With supply chains facing strict new EU Ecodesign mandates, Digital Product Passport compliance requirements, and rising freight volatility, access to agile, transparent manufacturing partners has become the primary competitive moat for fashion brands globally.
Membership plans provide monthly contact credits to reveal direct corporate emails, telephone numbers, and official websites, alongside bespoke sourcing scout packages and CSV exports for seasonal production planning.
