Long Beach, CA
Sourcing, logistics and LA factory access for Long Beach brands — pairing domestic production with smart importing decisions.
Long Beach’s position near one of the busiest ports in the country makes it a natural fit for fashion brands thinking about sourcing, importing, and logistics alongside manufacturing. L.A. Rag Maker, led by apparel manufacturing consultant George Arrington, helps Long Beach founders connect domestic production with smart sourcing and logistics decisions, so growth doesn’t get slowed down by supply chain surprises.
With more than 40 years of experience across Los Angeles apparel manufacturing, George helps Long Beach brands navigate both sides of production: working with LA-area factories for domestic manufacturing and understanding how imported materials or overseas production fit into a broader supply chain strategy.
