Wholesale & trading houses: Wholesalers in Paris buy garments by the carton and the container, favouring fast-moving sizes and colours of T-shirts, jeans, leggings and kidswear. Mixed-style containers let them test new lines without carrying a large stock of any one design.
Workwear & safety clothing: Heavy industry in Paris wants workwear that survives industrial laundering and hard use, so fabric weight, seam strength and colour-fastness are tested and reported before dispatch.
Schools, institutions & corporate uniforms: Schools, hospitals and agencies in Paris order uniforms every year, usually matched to an approved shade and repeated season after season. A supplier who keeps the shade, size chart and embroidery file wins the next tender.
