For manufacturers & suppliers

Plug into the fashion production supply chain

Flence connects verified fashion manufacturers, fabric suppliers, tanneries, print-houses and finishing ateliers with independent designers and emerging brands who need reliable production partners.

Offer your services to hundreds of designers sourcing small-batch production, samples, technical services and manufacturing contracts.

  • Continuous demand

    Emerging designers, established independent brands and crowdfunded projects continuously need sampling, production and finishing partners.

  • Pre-qualified leads

    Designers on Flence are vetted and often already funded through crowdfunding — reducing wasted quoting time.

  • Digital RFQs

    Receive structured RFQs (specs, tech packs, quantities, timelines) instead of back-and-forth emails.

  • Showcase capabilities

    Publish a verified manufacturer profile — categories, techniques, MOQs, certifications and portfolio of prior work.

  • Transparent contracts

    Milestone-based manufacturing contracts for designers with Stripe-backed escrow keep both sides safe.

  • Europe-first network

    Tap into fashion-forward markets across Italy, France, UK, Germany and the wider European ecosystem.
