Using This Directory

Most listings here are manufacturers, sourcing offices, suppliers and trade services rather than retailers, so the natural reader is a brand, designer or fellow producer looking for a Singapore partner: a factory that develops and manufactures for designers and distributors, a sourcing specialist with a production network across the region, a supplier of label ribbon or textile chemicals, or the agencies that support trade and enterprise. Company details can change over time, so confirm current details directly before relying on them, using the addresses, telephone and fax numbers and e-mail addresses preserved in each listing below. If you have a fashion business or textile industry relevant company in Singapore, you are welcome to contact Apparel Search to have your company added to this guide; you will find a link to the process from the "Add Your Company" link below. Readers comparing the region can continue to the neighbouring country directories linked at the top of this page, for Malaysia and Indonesia.
