SOURCING
Ethical Sourcing You Can Trust
With over 20 years of expertise in China, our Jiaxing office offers comprehensive sourcing services rooted in integrity and responsibility. We carefully select eco-friendly materials and enforce strict policies that prohibit child labor and uphold human rights. Through our robust Code of Conduct, we ensure all partners adhere to these high ethical and environmental standards, so you can be confident every product we source respects people and the planet.
Cost Attainment with Integrity
Guaranteed Excellence
We are recognized for delivering high-quality manufacturing, driven by our unwavering commitment to excellence and ethical responsibility throughout the costing process. Every day, we strive not only to maintain our standards but to continually raise the bar — ensuring fair pricing without compromising on quality, sustainability, or the well-being of our workforce.
Our factories utilize the latest ‘Gerber’ technology and advanced ‘Nesting’ software to maximize material utilization, minimizing waste and supporting environmentally responsible production.
SAMPLING
Crafting Samples That Set the Standard
Sampling is a critical stage in the garment development process, directly influencing both your future sales and the quality standards upheld during production.
While lead times for sample development vary depending on the complexity of the product, they typically range from 1 to 4 weeks per sample round. Throughout this process, we maintain a strong commitment to precision, transparency, and collaboration to ensure your expectations are met responsibly and efficiently.
FABRICS
Premium Fabrics, Responsibly Sourced
From knitted jerseys to woven denim, and from essential basics to advanced technical textiles, few understand fabrics and garment manufacturing as deeply as we do. We are committed to sourcing the highest-quality, sustainable materials while maintaining competitive pricing—ensuring exceptional value for our clients without compromising on environmental responsibility.
SUSTAINABILITY
Driving Positive Environmental Impact
As global demand grows for a more responsible and transparent garment manufacturing process, adopting industry-leading standards is essential. We recognize the Higg Index as a best practice tool for addressing environmental concerns and advancing sustainability within our operations.
By integrating the Higg Index into our processes, we actively measure and reduce our environmental impact while enhancing supply chain transparency and control—delivering both ecological benefits and operational excellence.
LEAD-TIMES AND PRODUCTION
Timely Manufacturing Backed by Stringent Quality Checks
Once your samples are approved, we move swiftly into bulk production to meet your deadlines without compromising quality. Typically, production runs take between 4 to 6 weeks, depending on the complexity and volume of your order.
Throughout production, rigorous quality checks are conducted at multiple stages to ensure every garment meets our high standards and your specifications. This careful monitoring helps prevent defects and guarantees consistent excellence.
Following production, shipment lead times vary based on the chosen method of transportation—ranging from 1 to 4 weeks via land, sea, or air freight. We work closely with you to optimize scheduling and logistics, ensuring timely delivery and seamless supply chain management throughout the entire process.
QUALITY CONTROL
Precision Quality Management from Start to Finish
At Fashion Direct, quality control is at the heart of everything we do. We undertake stringent and comprehensive inspections to ensure that only the highest-quality garments leave our facilities.
Our dedicated team of Quality Control (QC) professionals oversees every stage of production, implementing rigorous procedures to maintain consistent standards. This includes in-line checks conducted during the manufacturing process to catch and correct issues early, as well as thorough end-of-line inspections where finished products are carefully examined before shipment.
By combining advanced inspection techniques with skilled craftsmanship, we minimize defects, ensure compliance with client specifications, and uphold our commitment to delivering garments that meet—and often exceed—industry standards.
Our proactive quality management approach not only protects our partners’ brands but also strengthens trust and long-term relationships.
Ethical Trading and Responsible Manufacturing
Commitment to Ethical Manufacturing and Fair Trade
At Fashion Direct, ethical trading is a cornerstone of our business. You can have full confidence that your products are manufactured in strict accordance with our comprehensive ethical standards and trading policies.
We conduct regular, thorough audits of all our factories to ensure full compliance with local labor laws, health and safety regulations, and fair working conditions. These audits verify that no child labor, forced labor, or unfair practices occur at any stage of production.
Transparency is fundamental to our approach — all audit reports and compliance documentation are available upon request, reflecting our commitment to accountability and building trust with our clients and partners.
By prioritizing ethical manufacturing, we not only protect workers’ rights and wellbeing but also support sustainable industry practices that benefit communities and the environment.
