Most loungewear brands will never show you where their clothes are made. We will \u2014 because the factory is the whole point of GIGIWARM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Puyuan is a town in Tongxiang, Zhejiang \u2014 one of China’s historic knitwear centers. We started here in 2014, researching and developing garments before we ever sold a single piece under our own name. Being here means our yarn suppliers, dye houses, and machine technicians are neighbors, not vendors across an ocean. When a knit needs adjusting, the feedback loop is hours, not weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Every GIGIWARM piece passes through eight in-house stages \u2014 no outsourced assembly: 1) Knitting \u2014 our Cloud Knit fabric knitted on our own machines. 2) Dyeing and setting \u2014 color and heat-setting in-house. 3) Cutting \u2014 to spec, checked against the approved sample. 4) Sewing \u2014 by teams who sew the same silhouettes every day. 5) Garment finishing \u2014 trimming, pressing, embroidery, appliqu\u00e9. 6) Inspection \u2014 every finished garment manually inspected. 7) Batch testing \u2014 third-party testing every batch: Class A textile safety, pilling, colorfastness, banned azo dyes. 8) Packing \u2014 dispatched from No. 689 Hengxing Road, Puyuan Town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Five million sets a year move through these stages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The step we’re proudest of is also the least scalable: a person looks at every single garment before it ships. It’s slow. It’s also why our defect rate stays where it is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A typical $158 pajama set passes through an agent, an importer, a brand markup, and a retailer markup. We sell the set we make, from the factory that made it. The $158 pays for yarn, knitting, testing, and inspection \u2014 not three layers of middlemen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Where are GIGIWARM products made?<\/strong> In our own factory in Puyuan Town, Tongxiang, Zhejiang, China. Knitting through packing all happen in-house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What does “five million sets a year” mean for quality?<\/strong> Volume funds the unglamorous parts: incoming material sampling, first-piece approval, in-process checks, third-party batch testing. Scale pays for the quality program.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Most loungewear brands will never show you where their clothes are made.
