Fashion brands from China

This directory lists 39 fashion brands from China. Mass market and fast fashion is the largest group, followed by sportswear and outdoor, luxury and designer houses, and footwear. Most brands are positioned in the mid-market, with a value tier and a smaller premium segment. Guangzhou, Shanghai and Shenzhen are the main headquarters cities.

Chinese brands rely heavily on their own stores and e-commerce, while wholesale plays a role for a smaller share.
