B2B sourcing in Italy for brands, retailers and online sellers
Regular buying, private label and a dedicated agent in Prato and Florence. You focus on selling, we handle the factories, quality control and shipping.
If you buy in Italy every season, a one-off search is not enough: you need a permanent person on the ground. We have worked in Prato and Florence for more than 10 years and have direct access to 300+ vetted manufacturers of fabrics, apparel, knitwear, leather goods and trims. We take care of buying, production under your label, quality control and export, and you get one clear point of contact and a transparent commission of 7 to 10% of the order value.
Ways to work with us
Regular buying
We buy to your range every season: showrooms, factories, reorders of your best sellers and a check on supplier stock.
Private label programmes
We select the factory, handle patterns and samples, and run small, repeatable batches under your brand.
Dedicated agent
One agent learns your market, size chart and price bracket, manages every order and is accountable for lead times.
White label for sourcing agencies
We work behind the scenes for sourcing agencies: your client talks to you, we manage the factories and shipping in Italy.
Batch quality control
Pre-production, in-line and pre-shipment inspections, with a photo and video report for every batch.
Consolidation and export
We collect goods from different suppliers, pack them, prepare the export documents and ship by air, sea, road or express courier.
How we work
Transparent commission
10% up to €2,000, 9% above €2,000 and 7% above €5,000. You see the factory prices, with no hidden mark-ups.
One point of contact
Your dedicated agent runs orders from sample to shipment and keeps you updated on their status.
Inspection before shipping
A batch leaves only after the quality check and after you have approved the photo and video report.

Frequently asked questions
How do you charge for your work?
A commission on the order value: 10% up to €2,000, 9% above €2,000 and 7% above €5,000. The minimum order is €500. Goods are paid against the factory invoices, and we agree the agent commission before we start.
What about VAT and import duties?
For exports outside the EU, the sale is as a rule exempt from Italian VAT once the export is confirmed. For EU companies with a valid VAT number, the intra-community supply regime usually applies. Duties and VAT in the destination country depend on the HS code, so check current rates with a customs broker.
Do you work under an NDA and on our behalf?
Yes. We sign an NDA, and for sourcing agencies we work as white label: you remain the only contact for your client, while we handle the work in Italy behind the scenes.
Which countries do you ship to?
Our main markets are Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, Kazakhstan and other CIS countries (Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Armenia), followed by the UAE, Europe, the USA and Saudi Arabia. We choose the delivery method and documents to suit the destination. Every order is checked against EU export rules, including the sanctions on Russia and Belarus: we do not ship goods covered by the bans.
How long does an order take?
It depends on the format. Ready stock from showrooms is collected faster, while production under your label needs patterns, samples and a slot in the factory schedule. We give you real lead times once the factories have replied.
