Sourcing & Suppliers

Find the right mill. Verify the certification.

AI fashion tools for sourcing — search European mills, technical-textile factories, biomaterial pioneers, and verified suppliers. McLeuker AI maps Tier-2 and Tier-3 supply chains so claims survive an audit.

Why this matters

Sourcing has been spreadsheet-and-rolodex work for decades. Fashion technology should make finding the right mill, the right MOQ, the right certification feel like a conversation.

What you get

Capabilities, not features.

Global mill database

European premium mills (Italy / France / Portugal / Spain), Asian volume capacity, certified specialists across categories — searchable by capability, MOQ, lead time.

Certification verification

GOTS, GRS, OCS, OEKO-TEX, Bluesign, RWS, B Corp — verify claims at the certificate level. No more taking a pitch deck on faith.

Tier-2 / Tier-3 mapping

Beyond the cut-and-sew. Map yarn spinners, dyers, finishers — the suppliers your brand's claims actually rest on.

Biomaterial & innovation

MycoWorks, Bolt Threads, Evrnu, Renewcell — track innovation suppliers from lab to commercial scale with tier-1 brand pilots.

Capability matching

Match your spec — composition, finish, MOQ, region, lead time, certification — to mills that actually deliver it. No generic supplier dumps.

Patent & innovation watch

USPTO and EPO patent landscape per material category. Spot the lab-to-market timeline before competitors do.

How it works

Three steps. No setup.
