Supplier Hello, and welcome to our stand.

Buyer Good morning, thanks.

Supplier Can I show you anything in particular?

Buyer Well, my company is looking for some cotton knits for our summer line.

Supplier You've come to the right place! We've got striped cotton jersey knits, polka dot
cotton twill, and a cotton and poly blend, all of which are available in a rainbow of colours.

Buyer That sounds good. Could I see some swatches or samples?

Supplier Sure, there're right over here ...

B Hello, I see by your stand that you specialize in yarn.

S That's right. We produce a few types of synthetic yarns but most of our production is organic.

B Oh really? What kind of organics do you produce?

S Well, we've got sheep's wool, camel hair, alpaca, angora and some cashmere.

B Great, for our winter collection we're planning V-neck wool vests, tartan skirts and cashmere
sweaters, so the yarns you mentioned are ideal. Are there any samples I can look at?

S Well, we have yarn samples but we don't have any sample garments.

B Oh, that's too bad. Can I take a brochure instead?

S Of course, here you go.

S Can I help you find something?

FD Well, I'm looking for fabrics to inspire me for my fall and winter collection. I sell my designs
in my own boutique and it's very important for me to use high quality fabrics.

5 Are you looking for synthetic or animal-based fabrics?

FD Actually both . I'd like to focus on luxury, so anything that looks and feels like velvet, silk,
leather and fur should work. My clients want clothes that are both glamorous and easy-to-
wear, for example a black silk tank top or a velvet skirt.
S OK, we've got both synthetic and animal based fabrics for those examples. Here's a polyester
cotton blend that looks like velvet, and this is a silk-like fabric.

FD They look very interesting, but I'll have to see how they fall and drape on a mannequin.

S We have samples made up just for that purpose. There are some draped over there on the
mannequins. Would you like to see them?

FD Yes, that would be great!
