And Boohoo and ASOS?
We supply to Boohoo. We tried with ASOS, but it didn't work out. We used to be a supplier for the Arcadia Group, supplying over half a million pieces in a six-month season. When ASOS bought the brand, we became an existing supplier. We went to Boohoo to supply them with Burton and Debenhams brands. We went to ASOS to supply Topman and Topshop. However, they reduced their supply chain and cut us off because we were producing small quantities in Bangladesh, holding them in the UK, and rebranding as part of the design and print process. They decided they didn't need that service at the moment.

You have no business with them, but you're still holding their stock?
Yes, because they placed an order this season. Let me check the quantity. Our business model with Boohoo is not fast fashion. We worked on their basic line, the never out of stock items. It's mainly basics like packs, T-shirts, and polo shirts. We can't do small quantities in Bangladesh.

What is the cost of shipping one container from Bangladesh?
As I mentioned, the basic cost is $250. Adding the freight cost and other charges, it totals to around £2,700. Just yesterday, I received a 20ft container. Yes, that includes shipping, customs clearance, and delivery to my warehouse in the UK.
