About
A factory, not a trading company
Hualingniao is a cut-and-sew manufacturer in China. Brands work with us because the people who answer your questions are the people who run the lines — pattern makers, sample sewers and QC staff under one roof.
Verify our factoryAlibaba Verified SupplierCase StudiesOur team
We started in 2006 with a clothing stall in Humen, opened our own garment factory around 2010 and grew with our clients. Today we run our own cutting room, sewing lines and finishing section, with partner workshops for printing, embroidery and washing that we audit regularly.
That structure matters to a growing brand: you get factory-direct pricing, honest lead times, and the ability to start at 50 pieces per style/colour — then scale to tens of thousands without switching suppliers.
Every order passes in-line QC while it is sewn and a final inspection before packing. AZO-free fabric test reports are available per batch, and we are happy to work with your nominated third-party inspector.

Who founded Hualingniao
Celine Lee
Owner
Celine Lee came to Humen in 2006 and opened a clothing stall on Renhuai Street. Humen is one of China's best-known garment towns, and a stall there is a quick education in what buyers want: whether a fit works, whether a colour sells, whether a style gets reordered.
Around 2010 Celine moved from selling clothes to making them, opening a garment factory in Jiumenzhai, Humen. In 2015 the factory moved to the entire third floor of Shunxing Business Building, about 1,300 m², where it still runs today.
Celine still owns the company. Fit, pattern and colour — the things buyers at the stall judged first — are where Celine's experience runs deepest, womenswear above all. And because the owner runs the factory, there is no trading company between you and the people who make your clothes.
