As many of you know, and it has been announced already,
this is my 20th year in America, coming to the US as a fashion student from Jamaica,
Its also my 10th year of owning Zfactorie, which has evolved so much,
Started with myself and one other person in queens.
evolved to become a 13 person factory between 2013 and 2016.
then having a lot of struggles, we downsized. now we are 5 persons, with a much bigger factory in terms of space, and a retail store that is about 6 to 7 months old.
We are expanding again, as we look to hire more people for both production and retail...……….BUT
Most importantly, we are building a factory in Kingston Jamaica, which we hope to expand our production capacity up to 3 times our present capabilities.
We of course are starting small there, but operations should begin in June/ July and some of the first FW20 Items will be produced in Jamaica!
