What A&C International does

A&C International is a Shanghai-based, privately held apparel manufacturer that produces high-end women's fashion and institutional uniforms. Its core offering spans evening dresses, cocktail dresses, delicate casual wear, and daily casual clothing, all positioned around small minimum orders, high-quality finish, and cost-effective production. The company operates as a factory with a complete sourcing-and-manufacturing chain, allowing it to translate customer ideas into finished garments and to serve buyers that need boutique-batch volumes rather than mass-market runs.

The company is organized around three commercial lines: its core women's fashion catalog, the Booroola sub-brand (which uses New Zealand-sourced merino wool to make cut-and-sew garments marketed on lightweight warmth, sweat management, and odor-free performance, with wool from ethically and environmentally raised sheep), and the AC Uniforms sub-brand (which provides consulting plus manufacturing for institutional clients and has deployed school uniforms for Shanghai private schools that balance styling, fitness, protection, convenience, functionality, and identity). Sustainability is positioned as a brand pillar across the portfolio. Revenue model, pricing, headcount, funding, and customer composition are not disclosed in the available sources.
