For Factories
I help apparel factories grow with brands in the U.S. I represent your company in New York, introduce you to brands, and give your customers the design support they expect — so more ideas become orders you can produce.
I work with apparel factories, mills, and laundries outside the U.S. that want more American business.
You want more U.S. customers — You make good products, but you have no one in the U.S. to meet brands and bring them to you.
Your customers ask for design — Brands want new styles, graphics, and line sheets from you, and you do not have a U.S. design team.
Samples take too many rounds — Tech packs from customers are unclear or incomplete, so samples come back wrong and cost you time.
You need to know the U.S. market — You want to know what is selling in American stores now, before you develop next season.

I'm Shanley Suganda. I grew up on my parents' garment factory floor, so I know your side of the business. Then I spent 25 years designing apparel for major U.S. brands and retailers. I helped grow the Lee men's business from $5M into a brand that recently sold for $1B. Before that, I managed more than $125M a year in private label business at Sears.
I have worked directly with factories, mills, and laundries across China, Vietnam, Cambodia, Hong Kong, and Europe. I understand both sides: what U.S. brands expect, and what factories need to deliver.
