Delta Sourcing, a Delhi-based buying house, is expanding its product basket into multi directions and expecting 30 per cent growth in the current fiscal. Working with 5 buyers on regular basis in France and Canada, the buying house is mainly sourcing men’s wear, women’s wear and accessories. Currently, the company is looking for such scarf manufacturers who not only have interesting designs, but perfect presentation also. The requirement has come in from its Belgium based buyer that is looking for innovative and unique kinds of designs in scarves in which a single scarf is actually a combination of 4 scarves based on a story and colour coordination.
“I have met some manufacturers and visited few factories, but things could not materialize.
One of the main reasons for this is the way in which most of the scarf companies display their products, which is very routine and uninspiring. Rather than displaying scarves individually on a dummy or the way it will be used, they prefer to just hang the collection on a rack and ask the buyer to select samples that appeal to them, instead of doing something out of the way to look different. I am sure that if a product like scarf is displayed interestingly, it will attract attention of even the most difficult of buyers,” avers Manish Jain, Director of Delta Sourcing, who has 25 years of experience of working with the industry before embarking on a journey to source products for international buyers from India. He further added that the ideal price range of such scarves is from US $ 7 to US $ 15.
The firm is also looking to source fashion ladies footwear and jewellery, both on local delivery basis and export basis. The company will soon start sourcing from Bangladesh as its France based buyers are looking for duty-free import. “If things move in the right direction then in the coming few months, we will start sourcing low-cost women’s bottoms from Bangladesh costing around US $ 5.”
