Tiruppur and Ludhiana make knitted T-shirts and polos, Ahmedabad and Bengaluru make denim and woven shirts, and Mumbai and Delhi NCR make trousers and cargo wear. We work with factories in these clusters so a buyer can put jeans, shirts, T-shirts and trousers on one purchase order and one container.
