At FDN, we sew one garment at a time. No assembly lines here. One person is responsible for the entire garment, and moves from machine to machine sewing each step. This method is called Single Piece Flow, and it's a principle of Lean Manufacturing.
Single Piece Flow significantly improves the quality of each piece over mass-production, reduces waste to zero, is faster, and most importantly, it eliminates the repetitive stress injuries that Sewing Operators are prone to.
We believe that the best way we can ensure the health and safety of the people that make our clothes is to employ them ourselves, under our roof.

Because we own our factory, we cut small, efficient batches of styles and sizes based on demand. This allows us to have low inventory levels and never over-produce. It also allows us to cut different styles together to maximize fabric consumption, eliminating a large source of waste in traditional factories.
