Can people please STOP emailing me about helping them to source or make their clothing in Bali. I am no longer involved with the rag trade here.Cheers,mark.[/QUOTE]and no doubt there's a DAMN GOOD REASON!Leave the man alone!

If we had this kinda response when we were operating it would have been pretty cool, not so much now. Cheers,Mark.[/QUOTE]Well there might be a 'brokerage/finder's fee' business in it for you ... In my business I get the same kinda email crap "Cos you're an expert let me pick your brains" usually I reply (everso politely), "Sure, happy to help, what's your budget for my services?" Usually they run a mile lolThat said I did ONCE get a paying gig from my standard reply

I just came up with a scale of flat-rate fees:1. $x for initial report2. $y for visit to supplier (with pics)3. $z for following up on behalf of the client on the emails they sent but never got answeredA take-it or leave it deal.

i have a number of contacts in china if needed

I'm sure that would be a real help Jack.... except that the problem seems to be that many of the people looking for manufacturers seem to have it in their minds that they want to find cheap manufacturers (clothing/bags/belts/fashion/baby wear etc) BUT they also want these manufacturers to be IN BALI - and even if these suppliers don't really exist, or can produce to the quality/quantity they need in Bali they still WANT ( :grief: ) them to be in Bali - probably so they can have a holiday & pretend its business.China definately IS business & certainly no holiday.

Hi Missliss75, I run a small Swimwear & Underwear factory in Jakarta so if you are looking to source these types of product pls contact me. We also have a production base in Bali for Boardshorts & T-shirts. Let me know if you would like more info. Thanks[/QUOTE]Hello Damien, I am also interested in your Bali boardshort base. Would you please contact me as well. I have one week left in Bali now, and have met some very talented and reliable people here, but still need nice boardshorts and good T's, thank you.

Don't waste your time with Flamboyan. We flew from Australia to see them and they forgot to pick us up (a service they had offered to us without us asking), when we finally got there 2 hours later we spent a good 2 hours discussing our plans and brought physical samples, she (Rasmini) wrote pages of notes and promised she would get back to us in a couple of weeks. 7 weeks later and I have heard nothing from her at all, and she still has our samples. She also forgot to mention until we got there she wouldn't be able to begin production for over 6 weeks and would take at least 2-3 months to produce a small order. Had we known that we wouldn't have wasted our time seeing them in the first place. We never got any indication of prices whatsoever.Any business that needs to recruit a 'friend' (read: themselves) to constantly spriuk their business on forums should be avoided. The idea of having beautiful Balinese make your clothes is very appealing but unless you have money to burn for your start-up, go to China or Vietnam (where Zara now has a lot of their garments made).

I trust you have read this thread from the begining, if so you'll have read that Bali is not a major industrial center and has no manufacturing to speak of... plenty of 1-off tailors.BTW - what's a 'jumper'? In my part of the world it is a woolen 'pullover' a kind of long sleeve knitted t-shirt thing generally worn in cold climates - Bali isn't one of themTry Java - or China.

A jumper is a hoodie/sweater. Do you know any manufacturers in Java or China? I am aware of the climate in Bali but I am looking for manufacturers to produce jumpers rather then preparing to wear one there.Thanks

Hi, we are the designers of a children's label and looking for a manufacturer. We have read good reviews on Flamboyan, but cannot find an email address to contact them. Do you have an email address for these people? Thanks, Claire from Sideshow Alley Kids

I think China is more to thousands and thousands of quantities? Bali is not that much but 100% they will sell what you asked them to produce before you even sell it?I prefer working with the bandung garment area, I think they are more reliable than the bali garment. if not the garment business in Bali wont be badly hit than the bandung's.
