T shirt shop siem reap

If you are looking for a business to buy in Cambodia, you've come to the right place! This is a section where owners can post their businesses for sale and where others in the community can ask questions about starting a business here. Foreigners can own 100% of a business here in Cambodia, and it's a pretty simple process to buy or sell, whether it's a bar, restaurant, hotel, or anything else. Have questions about what paperwork is needed for your company? Ask away. Curious if the expat bar on Street 136 selling for $100,000 is a good deal? Start a discussion on CEO and we'll let you know what we think.

T shirt shop siem reap

Post by alexfrance22 »

Hi, sorry it s me again!

I was suppose to make my own brand in france but i had change for open bar in cambodia...

So now i want to ask you if it can work to have t shirt shop in cambodia?

I have my own brand, my own style, it s not tourist t shirt or other shit like that.

I m sure that is good, but i don t know about the mode in cambodia.

I will have maybe 15 differents models.

I need very small space , so small rent to pay.

It is easy to find textile factory in cambodia? And this idea could it work ? Thanks.

How about this?
Before you leave your country, go around to some clothing shops and show them your designs. If they are interested, tell them you want to send them some samples.
Come to Cambodia, go to several garment factories. Check their work quality and prices for your designs.
Get samples made and send them to the shops in your country. Get them to order your products.
Go back to the garment factory, order your stuff. Send it back to your customers in your country and double your money.
Repeat above.

There are/were a lot of foreigners doing this sort of thing in Thailand. Leather bags, belts, jewellery, clothing, etc.

There WERE 2 South Africans doing exactly this on one of the streets to the east of Sivutha Blvd

They would download images from the internet and print them on a t-shirt

I commissioned a t-shirt with the very famous photo of
Norodom Sihanouk and Khieu Samphan hugging one another in 1973

https://www.google.com.kh/search?q=goog ... ZHRvx_M%3A

... with the legend *Les Maquisards de 1973*

Anyway, I think those guys lasted in business about 6 months. Maybe more or maybe less.

Great. Problem is tourists only want to buy cheap tourist shit and elephant happy pants like they've just come from eating happy pretzels at a German bakery in Pune.
I m sure that is good, but i don t know about the mode in cambodia.

Any idea could work, but that doesn't mean it will.

Buy your ticket, come and try. If it works, it works. if it doesn't, learn from it and try something else.

Leave 1,000 francs with your family so they can wire it to you if your idea doesn't work and you want to go home.

Yes, it's printing but good design, one professional did design for me . You can't see it anywhere else. Even if I sell only 3 t shirt per day I have enough money per month . Nobody know where the is factory ? I want good quality.

Let me get this straight: you went from bar to guesthouse on an island to a T-shirt shop in 2 weeks? You have no plan, no clue, and no idea? Good luck....
