Garment buying house · Dhaka, Bangladesh
Woven Garment Sourcing for Middle East, Africa, US & EU Brands
Shirts, trousers, denim, outerwear and workwear from audited factories in Bangladesh — managed end to end, from tech pack to shipment. We ship worldwide.
Select Fashion BD Ltd is a garment buying house based in Dhaka, Bangladesh, specialising in woven apparel — shirts, trousers, denim, outerwear and workwear — for fashion brands, retailers and importers across the Middle East, Africa, the United States and European Union, and for buyers worldwide. Founded in 2011, we manage the full production cycle on our clients’ behalf: factory selection, sampling, price negotiation, inline quality control, final inspection and shipment.
What we do
We sit between your brand and the factory floor
You send a tech pack; we handle everything that happens afterwards in Bangladesh, and you deal with one accountable point of contact instead of five factories.
Because we are a buying house rather than a single factory, we place each order with the mill best suited to it. A structured oxford shirt and a washed denim jacket do not belong in the same production line.

Why brands work with us
Five things that decide whether an order ships correctly
Audited factories only
BSCI, WRAP and Sedex certified production units, verified with the issuing body before we place a single order.
Inline QC, not just final
Problems get caught at 20% production, when they are still fixable and affect a fifth of the order instead of all of it.
Costed, broken-down quotes
Fabric, trim, CM and margin shown separately, so you can see what you are paying for and where there is room to move.
One accountable contact
A named merchandiser owns your order end to end. No handoffs between departments you cannot see.
Shipment and documents handled
Packing, booking and the full export documentation set, prepared on your behalf.
How it works
Six stages, from first enquiry to goods on the water
The full detail of each stage — including what it costs and what commonly goes wrong — is set out in our process.
You send a brief
A tech pack, reference sample or sketch. Any of the three is enough to start.
We quote in 48 hours
Broken-down FOB price and a realistic lead time, not a single unexplained number.
We develop a sample
Developed, made and couriered to you for approval before anything is cut in bulk.
You confirm the order
We confirm price, dates, Incoterm and terms in writing.
We run inline QC
Inline and midline inspection during production, with photographic reports at each stage.
Inspection and shipment
Final AQL inspection, then shipment, export documentation and handover.
Compliance and quality
Every factory certified. Every order inspected.
We place orders only with factories holding current BSCI, WRAP or Sedex certification, and we inspect every order to AQL 2.5 at four stages of production. Audit certificates are available to review before you commit to an order, not after.
- BSCI, WRAP, Sedex and OEKO-TEX certified units
- Pre-production, inline, midline and final inspection
- Photographic reports at every stage

Frequently asked questions
Frequently Asked Questions
A garment buying house is a sourcing intermediary that manages apparel production on a buyer’s behalf. Unlike a factory, which manufactures in-house, a buying house selects and supervises multiple factories, handling sampling, pricing, quality control and shipment. Brands use one to get factory-direct pricing without maintaining their own office in the producing country.
Our MOQ (minimum order quantity) starts at 1,000 pieces per style per colour for woven garments. Some categories go lower — 500 pieces on selected shirt and trouser styles where fabric is already in stock.
Sampling takes 10–14 days from receipt of your tech pack. Bulk production runs 45–60 days after sample approval, plus sea freight — 20–30 days to the US East Coast or Northern Europe, and less to Middle East ports. Air freight cuts transit to 5–7 days at higher cost. We confirm the transit time for your port when we quote.
Yes. A significant share of our clients are independent labels placing their first overseas order. We will walk you through tech packs, Incoterms, payment terms and documentation rather than assuming you already know them.
Our partner factories hold BSCI, WRAP, Sedex and OEKO-TEX certification, with GOTS and GRS available for organic and recycled programmes. Current audit certificates are available on request before you place an order.
