Inside the real Prato district<\/h3>\n

Factory access, reserved for buyers ready to buy<\/h3>\n

We open doors that stay closed to tourists, and we turn a day in Prato into real stock at wholesale prices.<\/h4>\n

Our access comes from years of trusted relationships with working factories and private showrooms. To keep those doors open, we build every sourcing day around buyers who come to order and stock their season, so you get the suppliers’ full attention and their best prices. Want to explore the district before you commit? Just tell us in advance and we’ll set up a scouting day made for that.<\/p>\n

The physical experience<\/h3>\n

Your Buying
\nJourney Starts
\nHere<\/h3>\n

Touch the fabric. See the collection. Buy with confidence.<\/h4>\n

Some buying decisions need to be made in person. Our\u00a0In-Person Sourcing Day<\/strong>\u00a0is designed for international buyers who want to visit the Prato wholesale district directly \u2014 assessing fabric quality first-hand, meeting suppliers face to face, and selecting garments with full visibility before committing to any order.<\/p>\n

The service follows the same preparation as our online sessions: initial interview, budget alignment, and advance scouting carried out before your arrival. On the day itself,\u00a0we escort you in our vehicle through pre-selected showrooms in Prato<\/strong>, with our agent managing supplier communication, price negotiations, and quality assessment at every stop.<\/p>\n
