Nic Georgiou
I have worked with East and silks for many years from Barbour to Paul Costelloe, and I cannot speak highly enough of their quality and ability to produce garments and print fabrics to the highest standards and specifications.
East and silk have also sourced satin, sequin and embellished fabrics in both 100% silk and man made yarns at affordable prices.
Miss Li Yin is always professional and fair and as a company they can accommodate quantities from small to large production runs.
Their ability to produce the most exquisite fashion dresses for my Sub-Couture brand in plain silk, print and embellished were outstanding!
East and Silk managed to produce great fabrics and dresses at keen price points that met our brief.
For me they are my one stop shop for beautiful fabrics and garment manufacturing.
