Transcript

Today, I'm exploring one of the biggest fabric markets in China, but I'm gonna take you to a more premium site that most people don't get to see. Right now, we are outside Jufeng. They are pretty much the Pantone of fabric dyes. They have one of the best management systems across any fabric supplier in the industry. There's a really cool spot on the 2nd Floor that has thermochromic and hydrofoamic fabric. We're gonna have a look at it right now. So you see a pattern revealed on the fabric when water is applied to it. This fabric is super viral at the moment. It's a big trend in fashion. So now we add one of my favorite fabric suppliers when it comes to outerwear, stuff that's reminiscent to your car hearts, your Levi's. This is the place where you can come and design your Chinese Canadian tuxedo. Over tier, we have YYNK. They still have really good stuff over here. Buttons, push studs, pretty much anything you need when it comes to the closure of a garment or accessorize over garments. Just have a look at down tier. Buttons galore. If you look hard enough, you might find Benjamin Button. But currently, one of my favorite things has to be the brushed steel look on accessories. And over here, they've got quite a few of those.
