The women-owned and run fashion networking platform, Fashion Index, has updated its options to give expanding fashion brands the opportunity to source sustainable fabrics, trims, and packaging from verified, reliable suppliers.
The company anticipates this update will inspire more growing fashion brands to utilize its no-cost networking platform to connect with sustainable suppliers to help them successfully scale. The platform hosts profiles for suppliers of yarn, knit fabrics, woven fabrics, military-grade fabric, prints and swatches, trims and packaging, and more.

With this update, the company strives to offer fashion entrepreneurs a convenient option for finding and partnering with suppliers who meet their sustainability and ethical standards. When searching for suppliers, such as those that provide fabric, trim, and packaging, users can filter their searches to only include suppliers that engage in sustainability and fair trade practices. These searches can also be filtered by location so that users can focus on local suppliers to reduce time and emissions.
As consumers’ knowledge about the importance of eco-friendly products has deepened in recent years, so too have their standards for products to be as sustainable as possible, in every aspect. Since using environmentally-friendly fabrics and production methods tends to increase costs for fashion businesses, it is important to partner with reliable suppliers who have experience in the eco-friendly fashion market.
Fashion Index strives to make it easy for fashion brands to prioritize sustainability and ethical practices. With an account, users can search for local and sustainable trim, packaging, and fabric suppliers, filtering by years in business, target market, sizing experience, production volume, and more, to ensure they are compatible.
Users can read more about a supplier through their Fashion Index profile which consists of a detailed business overview, a list of expertise, current and previous partnerships, apparel markets experience, and more. After finding a compatible supplier, the user can contact them directly through the platform to begin a dialogue.
