We provide an end-to-end, “white-glove” service for private label and branded fashion across the fashion, sport, lifestyle, and outdoor industries.

• Soft Goods: Socks, scarves, gloves, and armwarmers.
• Bags & Small Goods: Wallets, belts, fashion bags, and technical bags.
• Novelties: Keychains, hacky sacks, pool floats, towels, plush, and more.

We specialize in fully custom designs. Our expert in-house design and merchandising team works side-by-side with you to bring your unique vision to life, ensuring your products stay ahead of market trends.

We pride ourselves on speed-to-market and “quick strike” capabilities with domestic options. Our finely tuned full-package import process is our main business vertical, which means our lead times can be as short as 10 days for the domestic option.

We obsess over every detail. From the initial sampling phase to the final factory output, our experienced, world-class quality control teams conduct rigorous inspections to ensure all products meet the highest industry standards.

Our standard minimum order quantity (MOQ) for our Decorated Blanks program is 72–144 units per design. This allows boutique brands, corporate teams, and quick-strike lifestyle lines to access our premium blanks without deep inventory commitments. For fully custom, start-to-finish programs, minimums vary by category, talk to our team about the right fit.
