About Sumec

After decades at the forefront of private-label manufacturing, SUMEC Apparel is proud to relaunch the iconic FRENCH 75 brand! ( insert F75 logo or logo font instead of this type set any time F75 is in text)

Marking the 100th anniversary of the FRENCH 75 cocktail, our new collection offers a celebratory “toast to confident and expressive feminine style.” FRENCH 75 brings together bold prints, romantic textures, and artisanal knit—designs created for moments that call for effervescence, elegance, and a mindset fully appreciative of life!

FRENCH 75 + SUMEC Apparel…. the best of both worlds.
Fashion-driven collections supported by a world-class vertical manufacture. Expect bold visual “storytelling” and luxe textures brought to life through meticulous development.

SUMEC was founded in 1996 and has spent more than 20 years as a global leader in textiles, R&D, and large-scale production. We specialize in women’s and men’s apparel across sweaters, knits, tops, bottoms, and outerwear. Every product reflects design-centric development, exceptional quality, and competitive pricing. Our partnership approach includes white-space discovery, retailer & brand collaboration and long-term sustainable growth.
