Striped Deckchair Canvas and Old Fashioned Garden Type Items from India  
 
UK
September 11' 2001


Requirement: I wish to source a manufacturer of multi-coloured
striped deckchair canvas in different widths and colourways (I do
not want  modern designs, the type are the sort produced c.1950
with different sized stripes - I can produce samples if necessary)
Also need manufacturer who can produce striped garden awnings
(not window awnings) using same fabric to a supplied pattern.
Quantity will be specified on production of samples.


Mode: By Air Freight
Port: Manchester or Liverpool
Quote: C.I.F Destination Rates


Biz Profile: Retailer


Background: As an antiques dealer, I am always looking for
opportunities to increase my turnover by sourcing unusual 'retro'
items to sell. The old manufacturing processes are disappearing
in England, and much of the old production machinery has been
sold abroad.
This means that I cannot find the old fashioned goods I seek for
which there is still a demand.
During the last year I have shipped three containers of old
fashioned bicycles to the U.K. which I am selling successfully -
I am now looking at other similar old fashioned 'garden' type
items which are no longer available to sell in my shops.
I have been in business since 1991.


Comments: Initially I would like to see samples of striped canvas
in a heavy duty, good quality  weave in as many colourways as
possible with up to six colours in each. I would prefer 18" and
40" widths please. 
It may be that this fabric is already in existence, which would
be acceptable - as long as it fits with my requirements.
Although I have specified air freight, I am happy to have goods
shipped - nearest port is Liverpool.
