Documented buyers from the cluster: Walmart, Target, Old Navy, Gap, Puma and Reebok (trade-association source); Denimatrix states that it produces for Abercrombie & Fitch, American Eagle, Lacoste and Michael Kors (promotional profile, tier c). Sales are usually not made direct to the brand: the dominant model runs through trading companies — Sae-A Trading was buying from KOA Modas on Target's behalf, according to CNN's October 2025 report.

The research is written in English; quoted figures, source names and the titles of legal instruments stay in the language their source published them in.

This layer is research: read from public sources by the archive's own team, every claim cited with the date it was consulted, and audited where it is marked so. It has not entered the verified store — no figure here was fetched back from its source or stamped with a retrieval time — so it wears no red provenance numeral and never mixes with the verified figures.
