We are a buying agency with unswerving integrity, openness and ethical practice offering flexibility, expertise and a friendly approach. Our clients come in all shapes and sizes, from the global multi-channel household names to the designer maker and internet gift shop.

We know what works, we know the challenges you face, and we know how to work in partnership with manufacturers and your markets so that you can create your best products and benefit from the best of what India has to offer.

We have expertise in the entire end-to-end manufacturing process to help you create, produce and deliver the products you need to delight your customer and enhance your brand. You can chose a tailor made service such as those organisations who ask us to handle independent third party inspections on their behalf.

Why source in India?

Are you thinking about sourcing products in India, or are you worried about moving production? Perhaps you’ve had a less than perfect experience in the past.

Sourcing in India has surged in recent times. With rising labour costs in China, never mind the political issues, organisations no longer want all their eggs in one basket and are turning to India.

Whether you’re an experienced buyer with years of working in India under your belt, or a complete newbie, the capacity and capability of this hugely skilled country is changing all the time, so why not let us show you what is on offer?

Ethical Sourcing

We are committed to the ethical sourcing of goods, protecting people and the planet.

We work with you as a partner to meet the highest standards of your market, adding value with our blend of vision and pragmatism. Swades is committed to finding and developing the vendors who have the same passion on sustainability initiatives as we do.

Most of our vendors are registered with the Control Union and are certified as per the global standards of Sedex, Oeko-Tex Standard 100 and Oeko-Tex STeP. Their production facilities are also GOTS and OCS approved. We share Garment Transfer Certificates on sustainable fabrics such as organic cotton and BCI.
