Since 2004 The Sauce has been creating merchandise within the youth culture, sports and fashion markets. We have developed thousands of products for hundreds of clients around the globe and oversee your development from concept through to completion.

Our team is experienced and passionate with backgrounds in sourcing, product design, marketing, sales and a love for fashion, art and music. We have a proven ability to develop, manufacture and deliver products that build your brand.

We strongly believe that the quality and design of merchandise directly influences a customers perception of your brand. Our business relationships are built on trust and our integrity to your brand. Our high standard of quality ensures your brands integrity.

Once  we have been briefed on your requirements we manage the entire process from sampling through to production and delivery. We present current on trend silhouettes, swatches, treatments and trims to streamline production lead times. We work with you closely through each stage, involve you in approvals of pre-production sampling and keep you up to date with time lines. We make sure you receive a unique and creative experience to suit your  brands product needs and budgets, saving you valuable time and operating costs.

Our experience and expertise ensures your competitiveness. We constantly review and strengthen our existing supplier relationships and source & develop new ones. Different suppliers specialise in different products and services; these are points which are identified by The Sauce. Our Hong Kong office maintains strong ongoing relationships with our suppliers which ensures we remain competitive in all manner of product.

We understand the importance of reliability both in terms of quality control and speed to market. Our production department can arrange to develop all retail trim requirements including swing tags, bar coding and special packaging requirements to assist with in-store merchandising and display.

The team at The Sauce Suppliers strongly opposes the act of child labour. Our sourcing division makes every effort to ensure that all factories contracted within our supply chain comply with our high level of moral values and human rights code of conduct.

• ONE: DESIGN & DEVELOP
• TWO: MANUFACTURING
• THREE: DELIVER
• Our design team frequently shops the major domestic fashion markets and travels the globe in order to tap emerging trends. We attend trade fairs around the world, visit fabric markets, surf the cutting edge sites and stock up on overseas fashion magazines to present you with contemporary ideas which appeal to your market. Once we have finalised the design and details we can proceed with sample development and provide prototype samples for your approval within around 3 weeks.

We work together to keep you updated with time lines - sample delivery status, production and delivery dates. All shipments are QC’d prior to shipment to ensure your product does not leave if it’s not right. Production lead times range from 4-8 weeks. If an urgent delivery is necessary we’ll always do our best to ensure we can meet required delivery.
