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.
We are the factory behind 300+ private-label apparel brands.
Streetwear, kidswear, and performance wear each run on dedicated production lines — with pattern engineering, fabric testing, and sampling all in-house, one team from first sample to final carton.
Our Story
One team owns the whole journey — fabric sourcing, pattern and grading, cutting, sewing, finishing, and final delivery.
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.
Meet the Founder
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
A brand's sustainability story only holds if the factory can back it. Organic-certified fabrics and eco packaging keep that promise credible.
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.
Grow without re-negotiating everything. Start with a small pilot, then scale on the same lines, the same team, and the same inspection standards.

The same faces stay on a project through first inquiry and final delivery.
