A journey of 25 years.
One focus: Excellence.

Fifth was founded in the year 2000 as a boutique manufacturing partner for European fashion labels.

One focus: Excellence.

What started as a three-member team with a vision to simplify and elevate apparel sourcing has evolved into a global manufacturing partner and powerhouse, supplying some of the world’s most iconic fashion, leisure, and lifestyle brands.

Over the years, we’ve expanded our reach with offices in Hong Kong, Bengaluru, Italy, Delhi, Tirupur, Dhaka, Cambodia, and the USA.

Our product categories have diversified to include wovens, knits, leather goods, shoes and accessories.

In 2008, Fifth was also selected by a delegation from the Tuck School of Business as a Reverse Innovator – a recognition that reflects our commitment to innovation and aspiration to be recognised on the world stage.

Today, we manage 10 million units annually, supported by a network of over 30 approved and compliant factories with a team of 240+ professionals who manage the business.
