They are either clone or refurbished, ask the seller which category it belongs to, and the ACTUAL SPECIFICATION, that way you'll know if it's worth venturing into

If you use a mobile device and you have the AliExpress app, you can send a message to the seller's inbox requesting for his trademanager ID, then you can add his ID to your trademanager.
Or visit AliExpress through your browser (select REQUEST DESKTOP SITE to access the website in PC format)
After navigating to your sellers store click on the orange head logo "chat now" and the Web version of trademanager will pop up, you can chat with the seller from there and your chats will simultaneously synchronize with the trademanager in your alisupplier mobile application so you can continue your chat within the app.


Any other chat options you need, you can ask directly from the seller during your chat. But I'll advise you keep your chats on trademanager

Hope I could help

Clothes Label

Its called Cloth tags. Yes you can get this on alibaba. i did this for a local tailor man some months back.
There are two types of tags. we have paper tags and cloth tags. The paper tags are those ones we use razor or scissors to cut off from the cloth. why the cloth tags are those ones we attached to the collar.

My Advice.

To make things easy for you, have a dimension and logo or diagram you have in mind to be on whatever tag. For your cloth tag(the one on the collar) try make it cotton 65% and 35% polyester.
Note: 100% cotton tags are expensive and not worth it. its just a tag.


PRICE RANGE.
Note!!! this price range was as at April 2014.

CLOTH TAG
Quantity : 500pcs
Size: 25mm X 5mm
Logo : success
Material: Cloth 100%
Price: N17 / pcs (this price includes transport to Northern Nigeria Niger state to be precise)


PAPER TAG
Quantity : 500pcs
Size: 30mm X 20mm
Logo : success
Material: Paper cardboard
Price: N30 / pcs (this price includes transport to Northern Nigeria Niger state to be precise).

Note:
The following determines cost of tag.
1. Colors
2. Logos
3. Materials

I would have honestly hand over to you the contact but i cant find it in my mail again.



Please if you want to go far in your fashion house. Try get the chinese to design your materials use to sew the clothes. or get them to sew it for you..

Agbani Darego (First and only Nigerian to win the Miss world) does not sew her fashion house clothes here. The guy that handles her project is a nairalander, clothes are sewed in china. Logo are designed also in mass production in china. I am extra sure of what i am saying. Hes a popular nairalander on the politics section. i will ask him if i can give you his contact.

Most interesting thing is that he his a tailor.

In conclusion.
Just get nice diagram and designs and send over to any manufacturer in china to design for you. or ask them for nice materials and you sew it yourself in Nigeria. whatever way. but stay away from Nigerian materials. if you want to be above your mates. Who knows, i might be wearing your clothes one day.

[size=15pt]i just got a COLDPLAY DESIGNERs Tshirt for 100,000 naira[/size]

grin grin grin grin.

Thanks very much.. I will explore the option of buying materials from China. I want the cotton + polyester tags. 17 naira is a little expensive. I was thinking max 10 naira..
I can come and get it from you in lag..
P.S; it's called labels too..

in my own opinion, i dont trust 1st year gold suppliers. Search more u will find other suppliers of that same product. If u want to use the link u pasted,stick with escrow payment so that u wil nt hear story that touch. Read again frm the beginning of the thread so that it will guide u and not 2 do mistake.
Thank you.

1. Find a seller on alibaba.com
2. Submit your proposed design
3. Negotiate your price
4. Pay by escrow
5. Find a freight forwarding agent (I used St Patrick)
6. Collect your package.

above all, read read read. Go through this thread over and over again. check out this guy d8vid too. It's not too complicated sha, just make your research sha. Ask questions where you don't understand .
