Design Apparels (PVT) Ltd

Design Apparels (PVT) Ltd is a garment factory in Chittagong, Bangladesh, set up to produce woven and knit clothing at export scale. The factory occupies 24,000 square feet in the Nasirbad Industrial Area (BSCIC) at Sholashahar, with 204 sets of machines and a workforce of about 440 people — roughly 240 skilled and 200 semi-skilled workers.

The product mix is everyday basics made in volume: woven shorts, padded shirts, boxer shorts, T-shirts, briefs, padded jackets and pyjama pants. Monthly capacities are stated in dozens for each line, and the factory has supplied buyers in the United States and Mexico, including a United States program for the Jordache brand.

Company Profile

Design Apparels (PVT) Ltd runs its office and factory from a single address: Block # B, Plot # B4, Sholashahar, in the Nasirbad Industrial Area (BSCIC), Nasirbad, Chittagong, Bangladesh. The managing director is Md. Elias Chowdhury, who is also the named contact person for the factory. Chittagong is Bangladesh's principal port city, and the Nasirbad industrial estate places the factory among the country's established export garment producers, with the port close by for outbound shipments.

The scale figures describe a mid-size export factory: 204 sets of machines on 24,000 square feet of factory space, worked by about 440 people in total. The balance of the workforce — about 240 skilled workers supported by about 200 semi-skilled workers — fits a plant running several product lines at once, where experienced machinists handle the more complex garments and support staff keep cutting, finishing and packing moving.

Products and Production Capacity

Monthly production capacity is stated line by line, in dozens: woven shorts 6,000 dozen per month, padded shirts 4,000 dozen, boxer shorts 24,000 dozen, T-shirts 15,000 dozen, briefs 25,000 dozen, padded jackets 2,400 dozen and pyjama pants 10,000 dozen. The pattern is clear: the highest volumes sit in simple, fast-moving basics — briefs, boxer shorts and T-shirts — while padded jackets, the most construction-heavy item on the list, carry the smallest monthly figure.

That spread matters to a buyer. A factory that can run padded shirts and padded jackets alongside shorts and underwear is set up for both woven outerwear-style pieces and high-volume knit basics, so a sourcing program can place mixed orders — a padded line for the cold season and basics year-round — with one supplier instead of splitting the program across several factories.

Buyers, Banking and Factory Facilities

The buyers named for the factory are B.I.I., for the Jordache brand in the United States; International Sources Trading Ltd, covering the USA and Mexico; and Allegiance Apparel Group, LLC (Windsongs). Its banker is the Social Investment Bank Ltd, Agrabad Branch, Chittagong, Bangladesh — Agrabad is Chittagong's main commercial district, the normal banking base for the city's export factories.

Facilities listed for the plant are practical ones: two-door facilities, adequate lighting, proper welfare arrangements for workers and staff, and a generator. In a production region where power interruptions are a standing risk, an on-site generator is what keeps sewing lines running through an outage and protects delivery dates on export orders.
