While working closely with apparel brands and local production partners in Los Angeles, founder Sean Sassounian saw that many innovative fabrics available to designers were being sourced from overseas mills. These fabrics often came with long lead times, high minimums, and limited flexibility during development.
SAS Textiles was created to offer a domestic alternative — a Los Angeles–based knitting facility capable of producing high-quality knit fabrics with the speed, collaboration, and transparency that modern brands require.
SAS Textiles operates a circular knitting facility in Los Angeles, one of the few remaining hubs for textile and apparel manufacturing in the United States.
Producing fabric locally allows SAS to work closely with brands, product developers, and manufacturers throughout the design and development process. Domestic production reduces lead times, simplifies communication, and gives teams greater visibility into how their fabrics are made.
By maintaining manufacturing in Los Angeles, SAS Textiles supports the continued growth of American textile production while providing brands with a reliable domestic supply partner.
SAS Textiles develops unique knit fabrics for fashion brands, product developers, and innovative manufacturers across the United States.
In addition to custom development, SAS maintains an open line of proven knit fabrics that brands can incorporate directly into their production programs.
