Why Antwerp needs women's & ethnic wear
Antwerp is a port city where cargo from India arrives directly. Construction sites, factories and industrial plants around Antwerp need coveralls, hi-vis and work shirts. Traders in Antwerp buy garments by the carton and the container for resale across the region. Women's wear is design-led: styles sell for a season and are replaced, so boutiques, diaspora stores and online sellers reorder fresh designs ahead of festivals and seasons.
Belgium's port of Antwerp is a major European entry point, and Brussels and Antwerp host importers who supply Benelux and France.

How it works: send a Pantone code or fabric swatch for colour and we return a lab-dip; send your size chart and the ratio you want in each carton; send artwork, print, embroidery or label files for the design. We make a sample for approval and then produce the bulk to that approved sample, so the order you receive matches the one you signed off.
