Clothing Manufacturers for Startups & Emerging Brands

Clothing Manufacturers for Startups & Emerging Brands

Premier Apparel Manufacturing Partner for Emerging Brands

For over 20 years, The Evans Group (TEG) has served as an industry-leading US fashion development and garment production house in Los Angeles. Having partnered with nearly 4,000 fashion founders, emerging designers, and international clothing labels, we provide an all-inclusive manufacturing ecosystem designed specifically to remove barriers for new brands.

Unlike high-volume offshore factories that demand thousands of units per style, TEG specializes in low minimum order quantity (MOQ) apparel production starting at just 10 units per style. Our vertically integrated studio houses master patternmakers, creative directors, technical designers, and skilled seamstresses operating under strict ethical and sustainable US production standards.

Whether you require bespoke couture tailoring, high-performance activewear, organic streetwear, complex dresses, or sustainable luxury blanks, our studio combines CAD digital patternmaking with hand-sewn precision to deliver commercial-grade apparel ready for global retail.
