Where To Buy Eco Fabrics: for production in Vietnam

Many people contact me about garment production in Vietnam and they ask for Eco fabrics. The definition of Eco fabrics was a mystery for me and I was well aware of greenwashing so I decided to investigate myself.

I started by attending the Intertextile trade show in Shanghai and met with as many Eco fabric suppliers as I could. I asked questions and started to make sense of the whole sustainability in textiles movement. Then I attended the Outdoor Retailer show in Denver, Colorado and met brands and fabric suppliers that market themselves as Eco. Upon my return to Vietnam where I live and work as an apparel production advisor, I started identifying sources of Eco fabrics close to home.

If you are an established brand or a start up that needs to buy Eco fabrics and produce your Eco garments in Vietnam then this book will open doors for you. I refer you to sellers of Eco fabrics in Vietnam and showcase sewing factories that market themselves as Eco and walk the talk. The first challenge was to define Eco fabrics. I started by figuring out what Eco fabrics are not. My book is intended to be a quick and easy read about Eco fabrics and not an academic deep dive into the subject. My focus on introducing you to people around the world and in Vietnam who value Eco friendly textile manufacturing.

If you need mind numbing details, I also recommend some amazing blogs and books. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions about sustainable apparel production in Vietnam. Contact me at chris@vietnaminsider.net
