Camellia Clothing Ltd

What Camellia Clothing Ltd does

Camellia Clothing Ltd is a Bangalore-based private limited company operating as an OEM and private-label apparel manufacturer, with shirts as its core product. Founded in 1990, the company runs a single manufacturing facility in Bangalore with a headcount of 58 employees and produces over 1 million shirts annually, having delivered more than 10 million shirts cumulatively over its operating history. The company started with an annual capacity of 48,000 shirts and has scaled capacity more than twentyfold since inception.

The business model is contract manufacturing for brand customers: Camellia produces shirts sold under the labels of named retail brands including Lifestyle, Westside, Van Heusen, Bossini, and Indigo Nation, generating revenue through wholesale private-label supply rather than direct consumer sales. Customer relationships with these anchors have been sustained across multiple years, consistent with an OEM model built on quality approvals, production reliability, and per-unit pricing negotiated per order.

Camellia also operates Customique, a sister-concern online custom-shirt venture that extends the company beyond B2B OEM into a direct-to-consumer channel for made-to-order shirts. The company is bootstrapped with no public funding rounds, no public listing, and no disclosed M&A activity. The technical stack is conventional apparel manufacturing; no proprietary technology platforms, AI/ML systems, or digital product surfaces beyond the Customique commerce front-end are described in the available data.
