“Our industry has had to rewrite the rule book to survive in a strange new world,” says Cheng. “But we continue to support sustainability with our core philosophy of enduring quality and craftsmanship combined with sustainable innovation and a thriving North American apparel value chain.”
"Break your habits. Let’s face it. No one really likes to disrupt their habits and routines, so human nature dictates a most likely encounter to resistance." - Kathy Cheng
