I’m also looking for someone to sew a high quality protoype of a back pack. It was chosen for the Umbra competition at my school and I have to do a revision for in the next couple of weeks. Any names in the NYC area? you can PM me if you’d like.
if i’m not wrong on www.infomat.com you can find a database with all suppliers and sourcing information in NY. also in the fashion district there is that big botton and needle information booth on the side walk where they can print out all the necessary info for you.
