The Story of Rag Sourcing

For over 20 years, Rag Sourcing has been designing & manufacturing for a huge range of fashion businesses and their clients around the globe.

We started back in the early 90s when fashion was very different to today. Fashion brands had to buy clothing from existing manufactories & brands, they didn’t have the same freedom and choice we have now.

Rag Sourcing was set up by a young designer who wanted to create his own clothing line. He quickly realised that he faced an uphill struggle sourcing all the materials for his designs from existing suppliers. He was a small fish in a big pond.

Back then he started to explore alternative supply routes within the fashion industry. After years of sourcing & manufacturing, he’s still with us today and has seen how his company Rag Sourcing has grown stronger over time.

The more we’ve developed as a company, the more we’ve needed to expand our team and our network of factories & suppliers. We feel most at home when sourcing & working directly with factories across Europe, Turkey, Hong Kong and China.

So if you’re looking for an experienced design & sourcing partner, or need a helping hand with small quantities – we are here to help. Don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Rag Sourcing is poised to move into the next generation of fashion, and you know we will be there every step of the way.
