BEST PRACTICE TOP TIPS // MANUFACTURING IN INDIA
SPONSORED CONTENT
1) Be prepared to learn as much as possible.
Successful supplier relationships, and therefore great products, are developed when human energy is invested - designers should be open to learning as much as possible about the manufacturers’ situation, what will work best, what type of production they do best, and the stresses on their production.
2) Understand the market and context in which you’re working.
It is important to realise and respect cultural differences in communication style, rather than approaching the differences as problems. To approach every situation with an open mind and work to get realistic answers rather than answers one wants to hear.
Learn as much as possible about every aspect of Indian culture and infrastructure that impacts your business, and be respectful of differences.
3) Communicate openly, frequently, & as clearly as possible.
Open and frequent communication between you as the designer and your chosen manufacturer will help to avoid cultural and linguistic misunderstandings and to better manage expectations on both sides. Learn to hear the words of caution hidden in a reluctant reply and ask more specific questions about the situation.
4) Be clear about what you want, give thorough specs.
It is a good idea to separate out a list of questions into very small, specific questions, limit the amount of unnecessary words and keep communication very focused to the main point.
Bring samples and photos of new ideas and discuss how to get a different product. Very often the artisans themselves know much better how the product can be tweaked to get what the designer is looking for or how to maximise efficiency and grow the scale.
5) Understand the manufacturer’s skills and capacity.
It is crucial to understand what the manufacturer is best at and what they are not so good at. The same goes for lead times. Be reasonable with your delivery requests as manufacturers often have to sacrifice to deliver when quick turn around is required.
In association with Mehera Shaw - See company details on p19
SOURCE speaks to Shari Keller from Mehera Shaw, a fair trade manufacturer in India, about a few things designers and brands need to know about manufacturing fashion products with artisanal and small to medium sized suppliers in India. From navigating cultural expectations to planning production schedules to shipping and duties, Shari shares some top tips for getting your ‘Made in India’ collection right.
This is a condensed version of an article called ‘12 Tips For Best Practice Manufacture in India’ on SOURCE Intelligence - you can read the full article here: bit.ly/meherashawtips

Fairtrade is a global movement which supports cotton farmers, often the forgotten link in the cotton supply chain, to gain improved terms of trade and fair prices for their cotton crop, enabling them to earn a more stable income and take more control of their lives and communities. It is an alternative approach to trade based on partnerships and an effective way for companies looking to source their cotton sustainably, to have a positive impact on people and planet.
When farmers sell their cotton on Fairtrade terms, they receive the Fairtrade Minimum Price covering the cost of sustainable production and a Fairtrade Premium to invest in their communities.
Your commitment to Fairtrade cotton means you become part of this trusted movement, and you benefit from access to long term direct trade relationships with cotton farmers giving you the chance to tell your customers how your business is benefitting the lives of the people behind your products.

The Global Organic Textile Standard is the comprehensive ecological and social standard for the entire textile supply chain based on the use of certified organic fibres. All stages are traceable to the final consumer: for fashion, apparel, work, home and personal care products.
Companies can expect clear ecological and social benefits from the strict criteria in the standard. GOTS is agreed by stakeholders around the world and endorsed by IFOAM – Organics International.
Proper labeling must show the GOTS certification ID so that consumers (and all interested) can check them against the GOTS public database - http://global-standard.org/public-database.html
GOTS, a not-for-profit with representatives in Europe, Asia, Japan and America, is the gold standard for traceable and sustainable organic textiles.

Founded in 2013, the main aim of Five P Venture is to protect, preserve and promote the heritage skills of handloom weavers in Chennimalai, Tamil Nadu, India whose numbers have been in decline in recent years due to the dominance of power looms in the industry.
Five P Venture contributes to this community by: finding and training younger weavers with a fresh outlook and progressive mindset; providing steady compensation in a state of the art weaving facility; and investing in good design and effective marketing.
Their main dobby and jacquard fabrics are made of natural linen and dyed with GOTS-certified natural dyes. They also provide denim in beautiful indigo hues, and reclaimed cotton fabric products.
Five P is demonstrating that consistent work and skill development can transform lives. They believe that more can be done in the fashion and textiles industry to inspire creative leadership, courage, and commitment. Innovative design coupled with a solid infrastructure and good communications can help these weavers revive their confidence and restore their competitive spirit.

Barkha’s Custom Sourcing offers a very broad range of services – from product development and design to manufacturing and private labeling, factory audits and inspections, warehouse fulfillment, and shipping and delivery.
