Our Story

Tulum Fashions is a full-package garment manufacturing company based in Medellín, Colombia. For over 12 years, we have partnered with national and international brands to bring their fashion visions to life — from initial concept to final delivery.


We believe in generating real social impact. Our workforce includes single mothers whom we train in garment construction, integrating them into the formal economy and giving them the tools to build a better future for their families.


With a team of 60+ direct employees, lean manufacturing processes, and end-to-end capabilities, we produce over 50,000 garments per month — with the ability to scale further through our strategic manufacturing partners. We handle everything, so you can focus on growing your brand.

Testimonials

What Our Partners Say

Tulum Fashions transformed our sourcing strategy. We switched from China and cut our lead times from 16 weeks to just 6. The quality exceeded our expectations, and the 0% tariff advantage under the US-Colombia FTA made the decision a no-brainer.
Sarah Mitchell Head of Sourcing, Coastal Living Apparel Miami, FL
What sets Tulum apart is their flexibility. We started with just 120 units to test the market, and now we produce our entire resortwear line with them. Jose and his team understand the urgency of fashion cycles.
David Chen Founder & CEO, Riviera Swim Co. Los Angeles, CA
Finding a manufacturer who can handle swimwear, uniforms, AND casual wear under one roof is rare. Tulum Fashions delivers consistently across all categories. Their factory in Medellín is impressive — we visited and were blown away.
Amanda Torres VP of Production, Soleil Brands New York, NY
We needed hotel uniforms that looked premium but could withstand daily wear. Tulum Fashions nailed it — perfect fit, durable fabrics, and delivered on time. We’ve been ordering from them for 3 years now.
James Rodriguez Director of Procurement, Caribbean Resort Group Santo Domingo, DR
