Where do you source textiles today and tomorrow? The global landscape is changing rapidly. Some of the once unchallenged supply regions are in transition with a view to prices and availabilities. Prices can no longer be make-up for longer shipping times and higher tariff duties. Volumes are shifting and brands need to re-allocated orders. Where to go? Within eyesight of Europe, Tunisia is within an average of a 1.5h flight range from most European countries. Numerous flights connect the capital and other cities with the rest of the world. A container reaches Marseille or Genoa in only 24 hours – at zero import duties!
