When you own the factory producing the fashion items, you are limited by the capability and capacity of your factory and you are slow in tooling up to respond to new trends. When you own the KNOW-HOW and the CONTACTS, you are AGILE, SMART, FAST TO MARKET. You can expand and contract instantaneously, based on MARKET CONDITIONS. Our clients benefit from having our expertise at their fingertips while paying only when they need us. †

ESCROW ACCOUNTS THROUGH THIRD PARTIES
If your solution requires an Escrow Account, we can assist you through one of our trusted Third Party Service Providers. Escrow Accounts are used to guarantee performance. Two Contracting Parties use an Independent Third Party to issue payment or the exchange of something of value for agreed-to services or products. Sums of money or securities owned and/or controlled by one of the contracting Parties are deposited with a Third Party and upon fulfilment of stipulated conditions, the Independent Party, then releases the payment or the securities. The Parties to the Agreement draw up specific instructions which the Third Party MUST follow when the pre-established condition occurs. As such, the Third Party MUST execute the instructions providing protection for both Parties to the transaction.
