Brands, OEM and ODM………….it’s your choice!

  What makes Fashion Access special is that exhibitors not only display their brands but there are also a host of OEM and ODM companies so  that buyers can select from what is on display or find a suitable subcontract manufacturer. The necessary expertise to manufacture to custom specifications or designs is of paramount importance for the varying tastes prevalent throughout the world of fashion accessories so as to guarantee quality, craftsmanship and on-time delivery.

Such companies can be encountered at Fashion Access and help solve the many challenges facing companies that need to get their collections ready based around an inflexible lead-in time before the finished accessories have to hit the retail shelves.
