In My Own Words
I have over 20 years of experience in the field of garments, bags and accessories production in Asia. From design to sourcing to shipping I can do it all. I have created both mens and ladies fashion brands. I have also overseen the opening of my well known brand's shops in Japan and Hong Kong. I am currently back in Tokyo which making it easy for me to travel to China, Vietnam and Japan. If you need help on any garment related issues such as sourcing, production and QC contact me. Japan is also having a resurgence in producing quality items because of the strong dollar. Having an office in Asia can be expensive as well as difficult in terms of language barriers and time zones but I am here 24/7 to be your number 1 source in Japan and Asia.
