Global Textile Buyer: Shape Premium Menswear Collections, Amsterdam

For an international organization within the premium menswear industry, we are looking for a Buyer to join the Buying team in the Amsterdam region. This is not a role where you spend your days endlessly updating spreadsheets while pretending a fabric swatch excites you. You’ll have direct influence on collections, supplier relationships, product quality, and the fabrics that eventually end up in high‑end menswear collections across international markets.

What you’ll actually be doing As Buyer, you’ll work closely with suppliers, ateliers, and internal teams to shape seasonal collections from the ground up. You’ll be involved in selecting fabrics, managing supplier relationships, evaluating garment samples, and making sure collections meet both quality standards and commercial expectations.

You won’t be managing “processes” from a distance. You’ll be hands‑on in the details, from fabrics and fits to supplier communication and collection coordination.

What you’ll own Fabric&Collection Management

Source and select fabrics through supplier meetings and international trade fairs

Help shape seasonal collections together with internal creative and product teams

Coordinate pricing requests, orders, and supplier communication

Operational Coordination

Ensure fabric administration, pricing, and systems stay accurate and up to date

What makes this role interesting? You’ll join a company where product quality and craftsmanship still genuinely matter. The collections are built in collaboration with international suppliers and ateliers, and the role gives you direct influence on the final product, not just the administration around it.

This is the type of environment where textile knowledge is valued, opinions matter, and attention to detail actually makes a difference.
