Services

From factory floor to front door.

Sourcing and fulfillment, run by one team in Shenzhen.

Fulfillment

Fashion-grade fulfillment, from our shelf to your customer's door

We receive, store, pick, pack, and ship your goods worldwide — with the care fashion needs and the accuracy your brand can't afford to lose. No minimums, no mystery invoices, no garment treated like cargo.

Warehousing & storage

Your goods in a real warehouse, organized to your SKUs, with 90 days free to start.

Pick, pack & ship

Every order picked accurately and shipped worldwide with local, destination-country labels.

Fashion-grade handling

Garments folded and steamed, jewelry with its dust bag, shoes in their box.

Returns done right

Inspected, graded, and refolded — A-grade back to stock, not dumped in a bin.

Branded packaging & kitting

Tissue, mailers, dust bags — the unboxing your customer photographs. Low MOQs, not 5,000-piece minimums.

Live inventory

One honest view of your stock and orders, accurate to the variant. Close the spreadsheet.

Sourcing & supply chain

From tech pack to shipped goods
— we walk the whole road with you

Fashion is the one category where the supply chain is more of the work than the shipping. We walk it with you, in the language your factory actually speaks — from finding the maker to clearing the last compliance check. Consultative today, deeper as we grow together.

Factory sourcing & vetting

We match you to a factory from a vetted network — checked for quality, IP, and whether they'll still answer once you're small.

Tech pack review & QA

We read your tech pack and translate it into the language your factory builds from.

Sample management

Strike-offs, lab dips, PPS, TOP — we run every round until the sample is right.

MOQ negotiation & aggregation

We negotiate minimums down and combine orders across brands, so a test run doesn't need a 1,000-unit commitment.

QC inspection

Independent check before goods leave China, with photo and video of the run — so the bulk matches the sample you approved.

Compliance checks

Fiber and care labels, country-of-origin — verified in-house, cleared before it ships, not discovered at customs.

Access

We hand you the room, not a contact

Most 3PLs give you a vendor and disappear. We give you the people, the doors, and the country itself — the network most founders spend years trying to earn their way into.

  • Fabric & trim sourcing

    The mills and markets we buy from, opened to you.

  • Branded packaging, low MOQs

    Tissue, mailers and dust bags from 100–500 units.

  • China hosting & factory visits

    We host you in person and make the country legible.

  • The founder network

    Introductions to others building alongside you.

Two 3PLs, two very different calls

We’re not consultants who studied fashion — we run DTC brands ourselves. So the conversation you have with us doesn’t sound like the one you’re used to.

You’re losing about six points to regrading. We can inspect and A/B-grade at the warehouse — draft plan by tonight.10:32 AM
And let’s produce the reorder closer to your drop, so the cash isn’t stuck for a season.10:33 AM

Read a P&L like yours

CAC, AOV, margin, returns — your business, not your boxes.

Cash off the shelf

Produce to demand, stop freezing a season’s capital.
