More About Apparel Search

ApparelSearch.com is a business-to-business database that covers all aspects of the clothing industry. This unique service is achieved through the use of computer technology and a global computer network, and the online database is the industry's premier buyers guide - a working tool for the apparel and textile trade, built to connect the companies that make, wholesale and retail clothing.

Apparel Search is committed to maintaining its leadership role in the apparel industry, and that position is maintained through continued financial re-investment as well as immense dedication to the content of the site. The guide uses consultants possessing well over 70 years of combined experience in the apparel industry - and as a result it keeps getting bigger and better by the day.

Built to Stay the Industry Leader

Maintaining a top position is achieved through continued financial re-investment as well as immense dedication to the content of the site. Because of that willingness to re-invest resources, Apparel Search continues to outperform industry standards - and as the industry leader it is determined to continue in this “fashion” (yes, pun intended). The reinvestment shows in the depth of the database itself: category after category of companies, guides and industry resources, maintained as a daily working reference for the trade.

One of the Largest Guides to the Apparel & Textile Industry

Apparel Search is one of the largest and fastest growing online guides to the apparel and textile industry. According to its own internal survey, it is the “best fashion media company” on the planet - it has voted itself number one consistently for the past twenty plus years. Behind the joke sits a serious point: the guide measures itself against the whole industry, and its coverage is built to match that ambition, spanning every aspect of the clothing industry rather than a single niche of it.

Resources for Daily Industry Work

The site provides excellent resources that aid industry professionals in efficiently and effectively completing daily tasks. Simple-to-follow navigation gives viewers easily accessible links to all apparel, fashion and textile related issues, and the hyperlinks reach the important categories listed in the directory block below - manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers, education, trade shows, models, news and jobs - and much more. From the Apparel Search Directory main page, visitors can also read more about the company and what it offers, including its fashion companies directory.

Because the database is delivered through a global computer network, the same buyers guide is within reach of the trade everywhere the clothing industry operates - a sourcing manager, a retailer and a designer can each open the same categories and work from the same listings. That single shared reference is the practical heart of the service: instead of scattered directories for each corner of the industry, one database covers the whole chain from production and design services through wholesale to retail.

Getting Around the About Section

The links below this page's directory block map the company itself. The Table of Contents lists the contents of the site, the FAQ answers questions about Apparel Search, and the Authors page credits the people who write for the guide. The company pages continue from there: partnerships and alliances, the Apparel Search logos, the social media channels collected on one page, and the list of Apparel Search company websites. A short interview from September 2008, the investor relations and board of directors pages, the future fashion sites page and a historical reference page round out the record - including the plain statement, on its own page, that Apparel Search is not a non-profit company.
