A word from...

Thunder Club

TK's industry knowledge, innovative approach and tireless energy have been invaluable in helping us set up our new business.  We had a diverse and unusual shopping list, but no stone was left unturned until we found what we were looking for. The challenges of the global shipping crisis have added some stressful moments but as always TK remains calm and professional and his excellent communication means we are tracking to achieve a great result...and we are having a lot of fun along the way!

A look at what's coming down the clothing and apparel pipeline in 2022

Extra HOT

Activewear

2021 was a huge year for activewear, and 2022 looks set to follow suit. Bike shorts are back, seamless is in, and for the bold among us, the gym onesie is all the rage.

Innovative, multi-functional and sustainable fabrics are also reshaping the industry. This has provided small brands with an opportunity to carve out a niche in an industry traditionally dominated by the big boys and girls.

Kids and baby clothing

The kids and baby apparel market shows no signs of slowing down in 2022 and is expected to reach USD 80 billion globally by 2027. That’s exciting news for businesses in the industry.

Neutral shades, organic materials, customisable clothing, and super soft fabric blends are all trending in 2022.

Sustainable clothing

You've no doubt heard of hemp clothing and organic cotton, but how about T-shirts made of mushrooms? Or pineapple leaf loafers??

Needless to say, things are getting interesting with sustainable clothing. The modern clothing consumer has sustainability on their mind, and at Epic Sourcing, we’re all for it.

Loungewear

What do you wear to work when you’re not leaving the house? Loungewear of course. It’s a look that seamlessly combines comfort with style, for those that want to lounge around and look good doing it.

If you're looking for custom clothing manufacturers in China to create the next big brand in loungewear, give us a bell.
