Long An was merged into Tay Ninh province on 1 July 2025, but people in the trade still use the old name. Gia Bao is a surplus fabric buyer in Long An, covering the districts with the most garment workshops and factories: Duc Hoa, Ben Luc, Can Giuoc and the Tan An area. The region sits right at the western gateway of Ho Chi Minh City, which makes it one of the places outside the city we visit most often.
Why Duc Hoa and Ben Luc have so much surplus fabric
Over the past decade or so, many garment workshops and factories have moved from Ho Chi Minh City to Long An for more space and lower rent. Industrial clusters in Duc Hoa such as Hai Son, Xuyen A and Tan Duc, and in Ben Luc such as Thuan Dao and Phuc Long, attract both export garment factories and medium-sized contract workshops. Many of these workshops take subcontracted work from companies in Ho Chi Minh City, cut and sew to order, and deliver finished goods back to the city.
This contract model leaves two clear kinds of surplus: end-of-order fabric the client never collects, and large volumes of scraps and remnants from the cutting room. Many workshops here have a corner piled head-high with bags of fabric scraps.
Where we buy surplus fabric in Long An
- Duc Hoa: bordering Binh Chanh and Cu Chi, dense with contract garment workshops — the area in this region Gia Bao visits most.
- Ben Luc: on National Highway 1 and the Trung Luong expressway, with many factories and warehouses, often holding full pallets of fabric rolls.
- Can Giuoc: bordering Nha Be, with small workshops and family-run garment businesses.
- Tan An: fabric shops, tailors and uniform makers serving the local market.
Routes and time to come and see the goods
This is a big advantage for sellers in Long An: from 69C Đỗ Đức Dục our trucks go through Binh Tan and along Provincial Road 10 to Duc Hoa, or via National Highway 1 and Vo Van Kiet Boulevard to Ben Luc. It usually takes only about an hour, so for many lots in Duc Hoa and Ben Luc we can come the same day you call. For Can Giuoc and Tan An we book a half-day ahead.
Because we are close, we also buy on a regular schedule: if your workshop has scraps and remnants after every order, we can book weekly or monthly pick-ups so the goods never pile up and take over your floor.
Fabric scraps and remnants: the typical surplus of a contract-sewing region
In Long An there are usually far more scraps and remnants than full rolls. We buy them by the kilo, and the price is better when the goods are roughly sorted:
- Separate long remnants (big enough to sew small items) from small scraps.
- Keep knit fabric apart from woven fabric such as kate and khaki.
- Group light and dark colours if you have the time.
- Pack in bags, keep dry and free of rubbish, loose thread and paper patterns.
Pricing and sorting are explained in detail on our fabric scrap buying and fabric remnant buying pages. If your workshop also has full rolls of knit fabric, see buying knit fabric.
Fabric rolls and surplus trims at Ben Luc factories
Not everywhere in Long An has only scraps. The large factories in Ben Luc and Duc Hoa often hold full rolls still strapped, plus boxed trims such as thread, buttons and zips after an export order ends. For this kind of stock, we suggest sending a list of fabric codes and quantities first, so Gia Bao can send the right truck and price each group separately instead of lumping the whole warehouse into one price. Pricing each group on its own usually works out better for the seller.
Working with contract garment workshops in Long An
One thing we often see: the fabric in a contract workshop sometimes belongs to the client, not the workshop. To avoid trouble, please confirm with your client that they will not take the leftover fabric back before you sell it. We only buy goods with a clear origin and are happy to write a receipt for both sides to keep.
