The Hidden Costs of Cheap Apparel Sourcing (And How to Avoid Them)

Uncategorized

A $3/shirt deal might seem like a steal—until delays, defects, and reputational risks pile up. Here’s why “cheap” sourcing often costs more, and how to smartly invest in quality.

Key Sections:

1. Quality Failures = Lost Revenue

  • Stats: 40% of fast-fashion items are returned due to defects (McKinsey).
  • GT’s QC: 3-stage inspections (fabric, production, pre-shipment).

2. Ethical & Compliance Risks

  • Example: Brands like Boonmee faced boycotts over unfair wages.
  • GT’s Compliance: BSCI audits, living wage policies.

3. Hidden Fees

  • Shipping: Cheap vendors often use slow boats → missed deadlines.
  • GT’s Transparency: All-inclusive FOB pricing, no surprise charges.

4. The GT Advantage

  • ROI Focus: *”Our clients save 15% long-term by reducing rework and returns.”*
  • Testimonial: “Switching to GT cut our defect rate to 0.8%.” — [Client Z]

CTA:

“Don’t gamble on quality—request a competitive quote with guaranteed standards.”
