Designers have stated openly that they are in desperate need for a solution to te production issue.  They are clear they are looking first for production in  Brooklyn, then they are looking towards the caribbean and Africa. 

Well The Africans made it to us first. Our meeting with the West African Trade hub proved very informativ. they brought samples and pitched their production fascilities. With production Capacity from a gross to 50,000 and dutyfree shipping and an empowerment zone, they followed up with a second meeting.

Those in attendence left with a valuable directory of factories, manufacturers and suppliers. It will be interesting to see this time next year how things gave progressed!

We are hoping to be able to meet manufacturers from Brooklyn ad the Caribbean in the upcoming year!
