I Discovered The Truth About The Canton Fair and China Clothing Factories | Million Dollar Suppliers

Can you still find good suppliers at the Canton Fair? Imagine Alibaba and Made-in-China in real life, that's the Canton Fair. In this video, I'm taking you inside the Canton Fair phase 3 as I look for the best China clothing manufacturers and suppliers of shoes and bags. For many clothing brands that produce overseas, China is a top destination. For streetwear brands there are not that many options at the fair, but you can still find some gems. The Canton Fair also known as the China Export and Import Fair is the largest trade show in the world takes place in Guangzhou, China. It's a great place to explore new business opportunities and suppliers for your ecommerce business or dropshipping business. With so many clothing manufacturers in Guangzhou and nearby cities like Dongguan, Shenzhen, Foshan and Zhongshan, you can combine visiting the fair with exploring the factories and wholesale markets in these cities. From sourcing fabrics and trims to sampling, production and logistics, much of the fashion ecosystem exists within a single region, allowing brands to move from idea to finished product faster than almost anywhere else in the world. After spending years visiting factories across China, I've learned something most people don't know. The majority of factories actually never attend the Canton Fair. Therefore I will also visit a clothing manufacturer (Finch) that is not exhibiting at the fair but has a large following on social media.
