At a glance
What it is
“A wrong call on cloth is felt in the same quarter. That is a useful discipline to have learned first.”
A principal, Kaelo Global
What’s included
Three areas of scopeA trade, not a factory
Kaelo buys cloth and sells it. It has never owned manufacturing plant. The distinction matters because it determines where the skill sits — in sourcing judgement, quality assessment and risk-taking on a position, rather than in production management.
Long relationships
Several mill relationships have run for more than two decades. In a trade where quality varies between lots from the same supplier, continuity is worth more than a marginally better quoted price.
Judgement about cloth
Weight, hand, construction, finish and how a fabric will behave after washing and wearing. This is the knowledge that transfers into the label the group operates.
