At a trade show, a manufacturer representative confirms Yan Tai Cherry Group makes BAPE jackets and boxers. The factory charges $18 per jacket for a 10,000-unit order, or $6.75 per boxer unit. The host verifies these are authentic products made under the BAPE Flex label.
So you guys make this kind of product, right? For Bathing Ape?
Yeah.
What's your name?
Xi Dongwei.
So you guys do all of the tags too?
Some of it.
Oh, and you sew the jacket. And then over here you make boxers?
Yes.
So you got the Bathing Ape Flex label and everything. Guys, this is not fake product. We're at a trade show. It's the real deal. Look at the quality of the sewing. This is really what it is. How many pieces do you make? They're saying like thousands, basically. Okay, thousands. And what is the cost? So for the boxers, here you go, they produce 500 at $6.75 a piece. So 500 units, they're charging $23.10. And actually, if you bring it up to 10,000, they're getting them at $18 a pop. So I don't know exactly how many Bape is producing. She says thousands, so we got to presume it's somewhere in this range. Maybe it is the 10,000. And what's the name of your company?
Yan Tai Cherry Group.
I created a Patreon to give you access to exclusive factories. They work with world-class brands and have very little capacity, so I'm limiting access to my patrons. Link is in my bio.
