| Know before using | The directory depends on participating shops and submitted updates, so it is not a complete retail census; confirm opening hours, access, stock, discounts, classes, and ordering options directly. | A factory profile, platform label, bid, estimate, or message does not establish current identity, factory ownership, capability, capacity, workmanship, pricing, compliance, delivery, or project fit. Paid-plan visibility can affect who responds. Verify the production site, subcontracting, references, samples, quality and compliance records, specifications, commercial terms, and remedies directly. |

| What the source establishes | The guild publishes a public map and lists shops by UK region, identifies member discounts, and provides a form for shops to join or correct an existing entry. | Maker's Row currently lets a brand submit a project before advance sign-up, then provides access to an account. Its project workflow records product details and files and connects projects with factories by location and specialty. Search guidance lists apparel capabilities such as pattern making, sourcing, sample making, and production. Factory access to bids is plan-dependent. |
