/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Hey anons, where do you find out where large brands manufacture their products? Can most of these factories be found on Alibaba or do they have their own separate contacts/sites? I saw another small shop had pic related, and they look a lot like the style of bag Loungefly sells, so I'm curious to find out how they found where they can be made. Not looking for their specific manu necessarily, just whether the resource is as easy as looking on Alibaba or if they're more hidden than that. I really want to make more interesting stuff besides pins, charms n' prints.
