We do not own or operate any manufacturing facilities. We rely on a limited number of suppliers to provide fabrics for, and to produce, our products. The following statistics are based on cost.

We work with a group of approximately 49 vendors that manufacture our products, five of which produced 55% of our products in 2023, with the largest manufacturer producing 17%. During 2023, 42% of our products were manufactured in Vietnam, 16% in Cambodia, 11% in Sri Lanka, 10% in Indonesia, and 8% in Bangladesh, and the remainder in other regions.

We work with a group of approximately 67 suppliers to provide the fabrics for our products. In 2023, 52% of our fabrics were produced by our top five fabric suppliers, with the largest manufacturer producing 19%. During 2023, 40% of our fabrics originated from Taiwan, 26% from China Mainland, and 12% from Sri Lanka, and the remainder from other regions.

We also source other raw materials which are used in our products, including items such as content labels, elastics, buttons, clasps, and drawcords from suppliers located predominantly in APAC and China Mainland.

We have developed long-standing relationships with a number of our vendors and take care to ensure that they share our commitment to quality and ethics. We do not, however, have any long-term contracts with the majority of our suppliers or manufacturing sources for the production and supply of our fabrics and garments, and we compete with other companies for fabrics, raw materials, and production. We require that all of our suppliers and manufacturers adhere to our Vendor Code of Ethics regarding social and environmental sustainability practices. Our product quality and sustainability teams closely assess and monitor each supplier's compliance with applicable laws and our Vendor Code of Ethics, including by partnering with leading inspection and verification firms.
