Don’t judge a vendor by their website

When sourcing online, keep in mind that you can’t judge a fabric or trim vendor by their website. Often the places with the worst websites have the best products, pricing, and customer service!

This is not to say that places with fancy websites and trendy marketing won’t provide a good product or service. Many do. An old-looking website could just mean that that company gets enough business from referrals or other sources and doesn’t need to dedicate much time to keep up their website.

The fashion industry is still very old-fashioned in many ways and good old relationships, phone calls, and in-person visits can often tell you more about the company’s quality than their website does.
