About LeelineApparel

Our Story

A Direct Factory, Not Another Sourcing Agent.

One team owns the whole journey — fabric sourcing, pattern and grading, cutting, sewing, finishing, and final delivery.

LeelineApparel factory floor in Wuhan

LeelineApparel started when Alex Wu set out to close the gap between apparel brands and the factories that make their products. The idea was simple: give brands one team they can talk to directly, through sampling, production, and final carton.

Today that first rented workshop has grown into a full cut-and-sew floor with seven dedicated production lines and 500 m² under one roof. A tech pack, its fabrics, and the finished garments stay with the same people approved at the start — nothing is handed off to a third party.

Work With the Factory

Meet the Founder

Alex Wu — The Direct Line to the Factory.

Alex Wu, founder of LeelineApparel

Alex founded LeelineApparel after years inside garment manufacturing, watching good brands lose money to bad middlemen. His rule hasn't changed: a buyer should be able to email the person who runs the factory.

LeelineApparel runs against the middleman model he saw fail: no commissions from factories, no hidden markups, one team accountable for the whole order. What began with a rented workshop in Wuhan and a few early clients has grown into a cut-and-sew floor serving 300+ private-label brands and running past 35,000 units a month.

The standard hasn't moved with the scale — every order gets treated like our own brand is on the line.

The Journey

A 5-Person Workshop, Now A Factory That Ships Worldwide.

Founded in Wuhan

LeelineApparel opens as a five-person workshop in a rented room in Wuhan, taking on cut-and-sew samples for local labels burned by trading agents — the seed of a factory-direct model that removes the middleman layer entirely.

2012

First international clients

Three US and UK brands place their first bulk orders across 12 SKUs after the sample round-trip shortens to seven days — the turnaround that became the standing benchmark for every order since.

2018

Audited and expanded

ISO 9001, GOTS and BSCI audits pass on the first round, with a documented AQL 2.5 sampling checkpoint standard on every order. The floor grows to 500 m² across seven dedicated production lines with more than 50 in-house technicians, raising monthly capacity past 35,000 units.

2021

300+ brands, shipped worldwide

Over 300 private-label brands now run on the same lines with an 82% repeat-order rate and 24-hour quoting. DDP delivery reaches 50+ countries with a 98% on-time rate and zero customs surprises — the floor now runs past 35,000 units a month, roughly 420,000 a year — still run by the founding crew on the original floor.

2024

Your next partner

One factory-direct team handles design, fabric, sampling, production, and delivery — 100-unit entry, 5–7 day samples, and one DDP invoice to the door.

What Sets Us Apart

Three Pillars Behind The Work We Do.

Sustainable Manufacturing

A brand's sustainability story only holds if the factory can back it. Organic-certified fabrics and eco packaging keep that promise credible.

  • GOTS-certified organic fabrics on a segregated line
  • Biodegradable and recycled packaging options
  • Water and energy savings through closed-loop finishing

Rigorous Quality Assurance

Quality that can be verified, not just promised. Fabric weight, stitch density, and colorfastness are checked against the approved spec — and the paperwork ships with the goods.

  • Raw material traceability with batch-level tracking
  • Fabric weight, stitch density, and colorfastness verified
  • Compliance documentation shipped with each order

Cost-Effective Scalability

Grow without re-negotiating everything. Start with a small pilot, then scale on the same lines, the same team, and the same inspection standards.

  • Entry-level MOQ for new partners
  • The same lines and team as volumes climb
  • Direct factory pricing, no trading margin
