Our
Story
the Cloth Link
Founded in Athens in October 2018, we started off as a company doing clothing private label, offering our 20 years of experience in sourcing and manufacturing for some of the bigger apparel local brands. Knowing all the right factories, but also knowing all the wrong ones, we have the expertise that only big brands have.
But learning from our mistakes and others and observing how retail is rapidly changing, we came more and more aware of the gap in the market we like to call functional clothing that is to combining deep industry knowledge with strong lean manufacturing, total quality management, and product engineering to reduce operating costs and improve product quality with Sustainable way for the environment and also for the people and the fashion Industry.
This is why we started the Cloth Link.

Philosophy
We simplify everything by aiming for functional designs and vertical management. We buy straight from the source in case to get sensible prices for our clients.
​
Part of our philosophy is to show you the real costs of your product. We believe you are entitled to transparency when it comes to our production chain. Our price breakdown will empower you to make a decision on what’s fair and what’s honest and to understand how this works at your product's retail price.
Our
Promise
Consumers of today increasingly looking for apparel products that stand out even from the pack in terms of quality in the highly competitive retail market where substitutable options are endless. While the pressure to deliver products with very short Time to Market (TTM) continues to grow, product quality can become compromised when critical steps in the development process are skipped. Moreover, despite that brands spending a considerable amount of time and investment in quality assurance (QA), product returns and consumer complaints are increasingly on the rise without an in-depth understanding of the root cause.
We have comprehensive knowledge of the standards and risks associated with sourcing, manufacturing and performance of apparel. Our goal is simple: to help you to give your customers the assurance and trust they seek in your products in order to find the truth behind your brand.
​
Maybe we don’t have every item you wish for, but our reasons are simple. We only make a product in a factory that shares our standard of quality and believes.
Our work is to adapt continually in this rapidly changing industry and together we’re constantly raising the bar. The path to success requires flexibility in each aspect of our day to day work.
