Product families

Four lines. One stitching standard.

Factory & QC

12,000 m² of lockstitch discipline.

Our Quanzhou plant runs cutting, embroidery, sewing and final assembly under one roof, so tolerances never leave the building. Quality is stitched in, then inspected twice.

  • 8–10 SPI double-needle lockstitch on every load-bearing seam
  • Bartack reinforcement at strap roots, handle mounts and zipper ends
  • 100% of output passes needle detection and metal scanning
  • AQL 2.5 final inspection with photographed reports per carton

Buyers on record

Stitching that keeps its promises.

“They took our weekender from sketch to a 5,000-unit drop in nine weeks. The QC photo reports landed in my inbox before I remembered to ask for them.”


Marta Keller — Head of Product, Fernweh Supply, Berlin

“Three seasons in, the return rate on their packs is under half a percent. The bartack counts on the inspection sheets are real — I’ve counted.”


Owen Gallagher — Founder, Crag & Common, Denver
