OUR STORY
25 years in apparel, on both sides of the table
The Cloth Link was founded in Athens in 2020, on more than 25 years of experience in apparel sourcing, production and retail. We know what a product needs in the factory, and what it needs on the shop floor.
Over the years, and with a lot of hard work, we have built the team, the partnerships with our factories and the way of working that every order follows today.
WHAT WE DO
One process, from the first sketch to your door
We develop, source, produce, inspect and deliver private label sportswear, casualwear, loungewear, denim, outerwear, underwear and socks for brands and retailers. Every order is a fresh production, made from zero for your brand, from the yarn to the finished garment.
OUR TEAM
One team, from Athens to the factory floor
We do not see our partner factories as suppliers. We work as one team, every day.
Athens
Our office: product development, costing, communication with your team and the follow-up of every order.
Bangladesh
Our production team follows every order inside the factories and reports every day.
Quality control
Our own QC team checks every order inline and at the final inspection, to AQL 2.5.
Partner factories
Our main production base is Bangladesh, with partner factories in China, Türkiye, Italy and Greece for specialised or smaller runs. A dedicated merchandiser and team in each factory, certified to amfori BSCI, Sedex and WRAP.

PRICING PHILOSOPHY
The right product at the right price
We price every product around quality, design and perfect fit, so it works for your retail price and your margin.
Quantity and price go together: the more pieces share a factory set-up, the better the price. We group styles on the same fabric, for example one t-shirt in several prints or colours, to reach the best price for you.
