Private Label
Private Label is Boardman’s direct to source service, matching our audited and approved factories to your brand so that our custom design and extensive market knowledge is applied to make your products stand out.
We supply FCA in USD, Euros and RMB. Additionally, we can provide stock supported business in Europe on a DDP basis.
To supply a full range of accessories including knit, cut and sew, woven, straw, leather and other manufacturing processes, it is necessary to work across at least 5 or more factories. As a retailer, accessories is a complicated category to manage and control. Boardmans take the pain out of the process by partnering with an independently audited supply chain of 15 factories across a range of price points and product categories, so that you have a single point of contact.
We work with over 30 international retailers in the fashion, supermarket, online and department store sectors, along with specialist retailers and garden centres. Our customers mainly sell across Europe, USA and the UK but also Australia and Japan.
In China we employ 29 people across sourcing, product development, merchandising and technical and quality control. In the UK we have 4 technical experts and 11 highly experienced designers and account managers, working alongside a team that supplies stock supported products on short lead times.
Over the last 5 years, our sales have averaged over $50 million p.a. at retail prices and we typically supply 7 million units each year.
We have offices and showrooms in both China and the UK. Operations are based in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, China. Design and technical teams are located in Manchester, UK from where we collate the latest trend and technical knowledge from across Europe to keep our customers up to date and make your life easier.
The majority of our customers are mid-market and value retailers, including internet only, fast fashion brands. We also have premium products and materials to supply all categories from good/better/best.
Whatever your price level, you get the same approach to design and quality.
Boardmans supplies soft accessories for all genders, including kids, babies, and pets, as well as various lifestyle products. To explore our complete product range and capabilities, please visit our ‘Products’ page.
Your brand is your most important asset, so the minimum requirement for a supplier is to meet your ethical and technical standards. Boardmans deliver above and beyond with an unrivalled market knowledge that means the designs we create for you are tailored to your customer.
There isn’t one factory that can make your whole range; at Boardmans we work with a carefully selected group of independently audited producers, so whether it is our factories in China or our design office in the UK, you can be confident knowing who you are working with.
