Laundry
Great washing is the difference between a good jean and a great one.
Developed in Europe, finished in Asia
Our laundry technicians develop new washing techniques with laboratories and chemical companies in Italy and Spain, then bring them back to our washing plants in South East Asia, where raw denim becomes a finished jean.
Technology and people
Great washing doesn't happen by chance or overnight. It comes from hard work, investment in the latest washing technology, great collaborations and great people, giving every jean its own identity.
How we work
As a vertically integrated production and sourcing group, we cover design, development, sourcing, production, logistics and financing. Take a style from trend research to your warehouse, or use only the steps you need.
-
Trend research and design
Our designers research trends and turn them into new styles for you.
-
Sales
We agree the styles, price and quantities with you, and confirm the delivery plan.
-
Pattern and grading
Patterns are made for each style, then graded across your full size range.
-
Cutting
Fabric is inspected first, then cut accurately to the graded patterns.
-
Sewing
Our production lines sew and assemble each style to your exact specification.
-
Laundry
Washing and finishing give every jean its look, from raw to bleach.
-
Trim and inspection
Threads are trimmed, then garments pass quality checks and metal detection.
-
Packing and shipping
Orders are packed to your requirements and shipped from each factory's port.

Responsibility
We are committed to bringing new, more sustainable materials and processes into our manufacturing: better for the environment, and safer for the people who live and work around it.
Greener chemistry
Together with Garmon Italy, we are bringing new, greener chemical solutions into our washing operations across South East Asia. It is part of our aim to bring more green into an indigo world.
Ethical trading
We believe people are our greatest asset, and that fair, long-term partnerships are the only way to grow sustainably. We care passionately about our people and partners: without them, we wouldn't be who we are.
Accreditations
We hold ethical accreditations from three independent inspection bodies:
Our story
We set out in 1998 to build a world-class manufacturer with a simple idea: do it just that bit differently from the rest of the industry.
From the very start, we knew the difference would come from our love of what we do and the way we do business. That still means long-term, fair relationships that work for both sides: with the brands we make for, and with the people who make their clothes.
Today, from our operations across South East Asia, we make more than a million garments a month, and we are fortunate to work with some of the best fashion brands in the world.
