Basic Factory Information
Who Are We
Azim&Son are a family owned and operated garment operation based out of Dhaka Bangladesh, specializing in woven bottoms. We focus on the small, this implies the size of our order quantities as well as our focus on the minute details in the production process. Our unique operation is adept at catering for large style variations, smaller volumes and most importantly faster lead times. This expertise has come about by focusing on catalogue and later e-commerce businesses over the last 3 decades. We operate on the age-old adage quality not quantity, resulting in a 0% return rate for our customers since our business began.
