F2F Class Notes 12th November (Tony)

I’m a developer at ShuoYe, a garment supplier which exports swimwear to the USA.

I’m a developer at ShuoYe, we produce swimwear for the American Brand Zeroxposur. They send designs and plans which we will find fabrics for to make sample swatches. If the fabric is approved we will then find a third party manufacturer to mass produce the items, then we will export them to the USA. Where they are sold at Target, Nordstrom, JCPenney and lots of other stores.
