Belgium-based company Vlerick Kids Fashion NV is looking for exporters of kidswear that can offer premium products and are ahead in PD. Currently having more than 20 vendors in Mumbai, Delhi and Chennai, the company is equally into sourcing of knits and woven products. The buyer sources a variety of products in kidswear as it offers at least 4 to 5 products in one hanger as a complete set, rather than selling just one particular product. Having its offices in Tunisia, Bangladesh, Turkey, Hong Kong and India, the company is 90 per cent into children’s wear and rest is devoted to men’s and women’s wear.
Senthilnathan S.M., heading the company’s India office in Tirupur and taking care of the entire production in India, in conversation with Apparel Online shared, “We are mainly into premium articles and are looking for such exporters who are also specializing in the same category. Though our office is in Tirupur, we have comparatively less vendors here as Tirupur companies are limited in terms of premium products and also in variety of fabrics as well as washing options. Secondly, we don’t work season wise and source throughout the year, so we have the development and shipments every week.”
The company has a team of 9 people in India and all of them are based in the factories rather than sitting in office. Sourcing from India for the last 15 years, the company is now increasing its sourcing from here. The organization claims that it has a huge warehouse and weekly call-offs are being delivered on the base of the customer’s sales results directly at the shops. Vlerick Kids Fashion NV also has its own transport facilities for deliveries throughout Europe. It keeps stock of 6 months, so it works very much ahead from the PD point of view.
