Days 2-4 in China
Most of my days in China were spent in the factory going through all of my samples and checking out anything new, but on my last day before i left for Bangladesh i had to go to the fabric markets to get some vital swatches and fabrics needed for work.
When i say markets please wipe the thought of one little row of market stalls selling fabric out of your mind and think more Oxford Street.... replacing all the stores with fabric stalls..... also add five malls five floors full of shops dedicated to fabrics, accessories and equipment!!
It is literally the most unbelievable and daunting sights...how do you get around all of that!!
The answer is you dont. You go in with a clear mind of what you need, you find it, buy it, and get out before you end up buying the lot!
I was like a kid in a candy shop and loved every minute of it. The vast array of fabrics they have is amazing and compared to the UK they cost next to nothing, especially if you buy bulk.
To try to capture the size of this area is impossible, but i have collected a few images to illustrate the general look of the stores.
