Veshin Factory, a China-based manufacturer, has partnered with Lalaland Production and Design, a Los Angeles-based leather goods manufacturer, to provide US brands with an onshore option for producing handbags and accessories. This partnership is part of Veshin’s expansion into an international manufacturing enterprise. Lalaland, founded by Alex Zar, has produced leather goods for major brands like Adidas, Ralph Lauren, and Louis Vuitton. The partnership aims to address the growing demand for onshoring and diversifying supply chains due to concerns about tariffs and logistical disruptions.
Veshin’s founder, Joey Pringle, believes that the partnership will help connect Lalaland with cutting-edge material innovation firms and assist in research and development, scaling, and commercializing new products. The partnership will also enable Veshin to promote Lalaland’s capabilities to a global audience. With the US market seeking to reduce its reliance on foreign manufacturing, this partnership is well-positioned to capitalize on the trend towards onshoring and sustainable manufacturing practices. The partnership will also provide opportunities for collaboration between material suppliers, manufacturers, and brands, driving innovation and adoption of next-gen materials.
