Sangpo Village in Jiaozuo, Henan: 7,000 Residents, 1.2 Billion RMB Annual Output
A bit wild. The annual output value was pulled up after 2017.
In 2017, UGG’s largest OEM factory in China relocated to Longfeng Fur Factory in Jiaozuo, Henan Province. The nearby Sangpo Village—just 17 km away—found its path to wealth, transforming overnight into a hub for counterfeit international brand apparel, with over 3,000 stores in a single village. (One thing to keep in mind: only the winter boots are locally made by this OEM. The rest of the “brand-name” fashion items—everything except the boots—are sourced from elsewhere. People who know, know. The actual quality of the clothing is so-so; not that great, but at least it’s cheap.)
