Pickleballs and ๐Ÿ Pineapple Fabric Made in Vietnam with Chris ๐Ÿ˜Œ


Dear Reader,

I once gambled away my car in Las Vegas. ๐Ÿง The people at Hertz were absolutely furious. ๐Ÿ˜‚ This year I will be renting from Enterprise in LAX and driving to the Apparel Sourcing Trade Show to represent Vietnam. Will you be at the show? ๐ŸŽ‰ Let's meet in Vegas!


Do You Sell Pickleball Equipment? Do you play?

I am a tennis player ๐ŸŽพ and have resisted playing pickleball the same way I have resisted ditching my skis for a snowboard. While I have no plans to learn snowboarding I think I might join the pickleball cue. The social aspect of Pickleball is very enticing.

If you are in the picklball business and need pickleball equipment made in Vietnam then I recommend Pickle Global. Learn more about them by watching my video interview with their sales manager, Sam.

Vietnam Produces Pineapple Fabric (90% Cotton / 10% Pineapple)

โ€‹Nextevoโ„ข operates a production facility in Dong Nai province (launched in June 2024) that processes pineapple leaf fiber (PALF)โ€”an agricultural byproduct/waste from pineapple farmingโ€”into ready-to-spin (RTS) fiber. This fiber is mechanically extracted and prepared using their proprietary process, making it suitable for spinning into yarns and fabrics for eco-friendly clothing and textiles (often compared to cotton-like properties). Pineapple yarn can be mixed with cotton and polyester.

Fabric suppliers like WellFabric and STS buy the pineapple leaf fiber, spin it and knit it into fabric for sale in Vietnam. Contact Davie Quach or Judy Nguyen about producing sustainable fabrics in Vietnam.
