So I've been investigating the Chinese blanket empire and I'm 95% sure I've found lazy's supplier.
https://abc-tex.m.en.alibaba.com/?spm=a2706.amp_ws_detail.company
This store on Alibaba makes all lazy's current products, offer 'hundreds of designs' (which you can't see on their store) and will add your own label to the products.
So I decided to do some undercover work. I set up an Alibaba account posing as Etsy store looking for blankets to sell and began messaging the store.
Pretty sure this:
https://m.alibaba.com/product/62006....html?spm=a2706.wapshop.113.18.41f96e4dC7QLdS is lazy's 'teen and me' blanket. Note how much of a profit the minghams will be making off this, with a £10.53 wholesale price Vs their HUGE £46.99 price!!!!!!
I asked the company how I could view the other designs they offer, hoping I'd uncover lazy's catalogue and was told that they can print any design for the website
shutterstock.com. I didn't even need to pay to use the site myself if I told them the type of designs I wanted they would send me some to pick from!!! They were nice enough to immediately start sending some nice pink designs for me to pick from, it was that simple....

So my next stop was to look on Shutterstock for lazy's gorgeous designs, and 30 seconds later....

I'VE DONE IT, I can set up my own Chinese blanket empire and retire into my Disney mansion!!!
Just waiting for the lovely Ella on alibaba to get back to me about how I design my own label or if they can do that for me as well
All done on my lunch break btw, so it was soooooo difficult. I definitely need a lie down on the sofa and burger now
