Make Sustainable Clothing That Makes a Difference

Import Sustainable Clothing from China or Vietnam

Discover ethical, eco-friendly clothing manufacturers in China and Vietnam. We help sustainable brands build reliable and affordable supply chains.

High Quality, Low Impact

Sustainable clothing isn’t just a trend – it’s a transformation. Kiwi brands are leading the way with collections that feel good, look great, and tread lightly on the planet. At Epic Sourcing, we’re proud to support New Zealand businesses in building sustainable clothing ranges that align with their values.

From organic cotton basics to recycled performance gear, we help you source high-quality garments that your customers can feel good about wearing.

Why Sustainable Clothing?

1. Future-Proof Your Brand

More consumers are choosing brands that prioritise sustainability. Ethical sourcing is no longer a bonus – it's an expectation.

2. Meet Market Demand

Whether you're in lifestyle fashion, athleisure, or basics, eco-conscious collections are commanding attention across retail, online, and wholesale channels.

3. Reduce Your Footprint

By working with responsible manufacturers, you can lower emissions, reduce waste, and promote fair labour practices – without sacrificing product quality.

4. Build Brand Loyalty

Eco-aware customers are often repeat customers. Sustainability builds trust, and trust builds long-term relationships.

Sourcing with Confidence

When you work with Epic Sourcing, you’re not navigating this alone. We help you:

  • Identify verified manufacturers using sustainable materials and ethical processes
  • Choose the right eco fabrics: organic cotton, bamboo blends, Tencel, recycled PET, and more
  • Manage sampling and fit approvals
  • Monitor production and conduct independent quality checks
  • Coordinate shipping, customs, and delivery to your warehouse or doorstep

With teams in Auckland and across Asia, we’re always on the ground – and in your corner.

What Makes a Fabric Sustainable?

It’s about more than just a label. We look for materials that are:

  • Certified (e.g., GOTS, OEKO-TEX, GRS)
  • Renewable (like bamboo or Tencel)
  • Recycled (like RPET from plastic bottles)
  • Low-impact (dyed with less water, processed with fewer chemicals)

Whether you want lightweight organic cotton for tees or heavyweight recycled fleece for hoodies, we’ll help you spec and test the right fabrics for your product line.

Trusted Manufacturing Partners

We’ve spent years building relationships with ethical factories in China and Vietnam. Like Foshan Weicai Textiles Co., Ltd. – a manufacturer known for their high-quality cotton garments, eco-friendly processing methods, and versatile customisation options.

They produce:

  • T-shirts and polos using organic or long-staple cotton
  • Hoodies and outerwear with sustainable performance blends
  • Garments with custom embroidery, screen printing, sublimation, and thermal transfer

With an emphasis on quality, service, and ethical operations, suppliers like these are raising the bar.

Common Pitfalls (and How We Help You Avoid Them)

Greenwashing?

We only work with factories who can show the paperwork. Certifications, audit reports, and third-party verifications are all part of the deal.

Material mismatch?

We assist with swatches, samples, and product testing to ensure performance aligns with your needs.

MOQ worries?

We understand the startup life. Our supplier network includes partners happy to support smaller production runs.

Shipping stress?

Our freight team ensures your goods get where they need to go – on time, intact, and with all the right documentation.
