Kith, the renowned New York-based streetwear and lifestyle brand, does not use generic blanks. Instead, the brand designs custom garments through cut-and-sew production, emphasizing premium quality, unique designs, and standout materials.
Where Does Kith Manufacture?
Kith primarily manufactures its clothing in Peru and China, working with highly specialized suppliers to achieve their elevated aesthetic:
- Peru:
- Kith collaborates with Topy Top, one of Peru’s largest textile companies, which specializes in high-quality cotton garments. Peruvian Pima cotton, known for its softness, durability, and luxurious feel, is often a key material used in Kith’s t-shirts, hoodies, and other cotton-based products.
- Topy Top’s capabilities are ideal for producing premium basics, but they typically cater to large-volume orders, making this supplier more accessible for established brands.
- China:
- For technical apparel, outerwear, and intricate designs, Kith works with Flexcone, a top-tier manufacturer in China. Flexcone is known for its expertise in producing high-quality, detailed garments with advanced techniques.
- China’s manufacturing ecosystem allows for scalability and innovation, enabling Kith to experiment with unique fabrics and construction methods while maintaining consistency across large production runs.
