At this point, I decided to turn my own personal contacts, my little black book if you will, that I have grown and curated over the years to create Franky Dune Sustainable Fashion Resources as a way to help fashion designers find and source fabric suppliers that offer low minimum order quantities (MOQ) quickly and easily. 

How to have a sustainable fashion brand when everyone is sh***ing on the sustainability movement.

Recently I read a post from an agency that helps designers connect with suppliers. Now this agency is incredibly helpful to many and rightfully so.

However, I was struck by the information I read on her take on how to reach out to suppliers. “Do not ask suppliers what their minimum order quantities (or MOQS) are in the first email.”

What?
