Garment buying house · Dhaka, Bangladesh
Woven Garment Sourcing for US and EU Brands
Shirts, trousers, denim, outerwear and workwear from audited factories in Bangladesh — managed end to end, from tech pack to shipment.
Select Fashion 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 in the United States and European Union. 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 in three time zones.
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, and matching the garment to the right factory is most of what determines whether an order ships on time and on spec.
How a buying house differs from a factory or an agentProduct categories
What We Manufacture
Five woven categories, each placed with a factory equipped for it.
Woven shirts
Oxford, poplin, twill, flannel and chambray — formal and casual constructions.
Trousers & chinos
Formal, casual, cargo and five-pocket, across cotton and blended fabrics.
Denim
Jeans, jackets and shirts, produced at units with in-house washing capability.
Jackets & outerwear
Padded, softshell, parka and windbreaker, including technical linings.
Workwear & uniforms
Industrial, corporate and hi-vis, produced to specified safety standards.
Published, not hidden
Our MOQ and lead times, stated plainly
Most sourcing sites make you fill in a form to learn these. Here they are.
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.
Low MOQ access
We consolidate small orders across factories that would normally refuse them, which is how independent labels get factory-direct pricing.
One accountable contact
A single merchandiser from enquiry to shipment. No chasing three suppliers for one container.
Inline QC, not just final inspection
Problems get caught at 20% production, when they are still fixable and affect a fifth of the order instead of all of it.
Transparent FOB costing
You see the fabric, trim, CM and margin breakdown — not a single number you cannot interrogate.
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 sourcing guide.
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 place it with the matched factory and 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.
Every factory in our network holds current social compliance certification, and every order is inspected to AQL 2.5 before it leaves Bangladesh. If your buyer, retailer or importer requires specific audit documentation, we supply it with the shipment.

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 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 20–30 days sea freight to the US or EU. Air freight cuts transit to 5–7 days at higher cost.
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.
