Nearly 3,000 retailers across 93 countries have a new source of apparel fashions in Ordre.com, a new business-to-business marketplace featuring ready-to-wear designer apparel.

Ordre.com is based in Hong Kong and founded by The Lock Group, the organizer of annual apparel industry events in Australia and Asia-Pacific. The buying portal currently features apparel from more than 20 designers, including Chalayan, Emilia Wickstead, House and Holland and Jason Wu, and it expects to have apparel from as many as 60 designers loaded on the site within several weeks, Lock says.

Ordre.com is backed financially by a team of early-stage investors led by Michael Alexander, CEO of investment firm Jefferies Hong Kong Ltd. Alexander is also advising Ordre.com on its Series A funding round, which Lock reportedly expects to bring total funding to $10 million within several weeks.

Participation in the Ordre.com retail network of buyers is by invitation. Ordre.com doesn’t list the retailers in its network, and the company did not immediately reply to a request for more information about the retailers that make up the network.

Other B2B apparel e-marketplaces include Joor.com and NuOrder.com.
