02 / Company profile

A design house that owns its factories.

Hepburn Fashion is a women's shapewear specialist built around design, manufacturing and selling.

Three factories in China cover seamless knitting, cutting, bonding, sewing and finishing. Hepburn Fashion Limited handles contracting, export documentation and international payments from Hong Kong SAR, while a US entity provides domestic contracting for North American clients.

Hepburn also operates its own shapewear brands on Amazon and TikTok Shop in the United States, Mexico and Europe, bringing customer reviews, returns, size-run performance and advertising economics into product development.

03 / Core strengths

A manufacturer that thinks like a brand.

Design, manufacturing and direct marketplace operations sit inside one shapewear business.

01

Design-first development

An in-house design and pattern team develops original construction, market-specific blocks, grading and production-ready specifications.

02

Fast-batch manufacturing

Short production cycles and quick changeovers let clients test smaller runs, read sell-through and scale the winning styles.

03

Marketplace operator insight

Own-brand Amazon and TikTok Shop operations connect fit, fabric, sizing and packaging decisions with reviews, returns and advertising performance.
