Most brands don’t realize the true cost of managing overseas production alone — delayed shipments, quality failures, or supply chain disruptions that put your margins and reputation on the line. East West Basics embeds a senior U.S. team alongside 50 on-the-ground specialists across Asia who own every stage of the manufacturing process.
Get Started
NORDSTROM
Our multi-country factory network is built upon three generations of trusted factory relationships across China, Vietnam, Cambodia, India and Bangladesh. Strategically designed to give you viable production options no matter what might be happening in the global market — whether it’s shifting tariffs, rising costs, or capacity crunches.
Regardless of the category, we strategically match your product with the factory best equipped to produce it flawlessly — ensuring precise construction, elevated finishes, and consistent quality from approved sample to final shipment. Backed by decades of experience, trusted factory relationships and on-the-ground oversight, we deliver reliable results you can count on — including an industry leading defect rate of under 0.005%.
No retainers, no sourcing fees, no sample costs. We do all the upfront leg work. You only pay when we deliver.
Every stage of your manufacturing process runs through our team. If an issue surfaces, we own it and fix it. No finger pointing.
Our proven process embeds QC specialists at every stage of production, ensuring issues are flagged and corrected in real time — not at final inspection when it’s often too late.
A single, dedicated point of contact oversees every detail from start to finish — ensuring seamless communication, eliminating language barriers, and keeping you informed with proactive updates at every stage.
Manufacturing in Asia since 1965, our decades-long factory relationships become your company’s advantage — giving you unparalleled access, greater leverage, and a smoother path to seamless top-tier production.
Having worked with the world’s most demanding retail partners for over 30 years, we know exactly what it takes to deliver quality at scale.
If something goes wrong on our watch, we fix it — on our own dime. No excuses, no cost to you. Nearly 20 years ago, when 20,000 FTD ceramic vases were rendered defective and the factory walked away, we reproduced and air freighted full replacements within 30 days — absorbing a $200,000 loss. That level of accountability still defines how we operate today.
From day one, East West Basics becomes your dedicated on-the-ground partner managing every detail from start to finish. You stay in control of the decisions that matter, with clear visibility at every step, while we take care of the rest and ensure everything is executed to the highest standard.
“Production used to be the most unpredictable part of our business. Samples would look great, but scaling them was always a question mark. With East West Basics, we have a team on the ground managing factory communication, monitoring quality, and flagging issues before they become expensive problems.”
We work across more than 20 product categories including Furniture, Home Décor, Seasonal & Holiday, Fitness, Baby & Kids, Travel, Outdoor, Kitchen, Tabletop & Bar, Pet, Storage & Organization, Novelty & Gifts, and more. Visit our Products & Materials page for the full list of categories and materials.
No. There are no retainers, no sourcing fees, and no sample costs. The upfront work we do — evaluating factories, obtaining competitive quotes, assessing production feasibility, and refining your samples until they’re right — is all part of how we operate. Our success-based model means we only earn when we deliver a product that meets your standards.
Three things set us apart. First, our sourcing roots in Asia date back to 1965, giving our clients access to deeply established factory relationships, stronger pricing leverage, and decades of on-the-ground expertise. Second, we stand behind the outcome. In the rare event something goes wrong on our watch, we take responsibility and make it right at our expense. Third, we make the entire process seamless — one dedicated point of contact managing your program end-to-end across both the U.S. and Asia.
It depends on where your product is in development. If you come to us with an approved spec, most programs run 90 to 120 days from production kick-off to delivery. If your product is still in the concept or development phase, the timeline will be longer and varies based on complexity, materials, and how many sample rounds are needed. Either way, we set clear milestones at the start of every program so you always know where things stand.
Whether you’re developing a new product line, expanding into new categories, or looking for a manufacturing partner who understands your market, we’d like to hear about your project.
