Del Rossa Clothing is based in Palm Coast, Florida which is about an hour drive from Jacksonville.
Del Rossa is a family business and despite our rapid growth, we have remained loyal to our original hallmarks: Quality, Value, Ease of Ordering, and Integrity.
Quality
In the age of global trade there is no shortage of apparel in every conceivable fabric and design. But how often is it that the clothing we purchase doesn't merely meet our expectations but truly surpasses our expectations and impresses us to the point that we really love wearing what we've purchased? Probably not too often. And it is with this realization that we begin producing our products. How can we produce a garment that will so impress our customers to the point where they feel what they've purchased is truly beautiful, extremely comfortable and at the same time quite affordable.
For sleepwear, the most important point is fabric. If the fabric isn't comfortable, if it doesn't feel good against your skin, if its too rigid or too heavy then its not going to feel good to wear. After all, most sleepwear is made to be worn around the house or to bed and its in these times that comfort is of the utmost importance. Therefore we've literally spent years developing the best possible fabrics for use in our sleepwear. If its terry cotton, how well does it absorb water?; how soft is it? and how durable and long lasting is it? If its satin, how soft, light and durable is it? etc. Unfortunately, there's no shortage of cheap low-quality clothing in the marketplace and fabrics are usually where manufacturers will skimp and choose a lesser quality in order to keep the cost down. Our customers will never have this problem.
Ease
We offer the comfort of shopping from home with quick and secure delivery to your door. No long lines, no need to pay for gas driving to the store, no searching endlessly for the right style or size. We've worked tirelessly to make our full product range very straight-forward and easy to understand, and we're sure you'll be able to see that as you navigate through our site.
Integrity
Manufacturing and, more recently, administration jobs as well, are quickly being relocated to cheaper labor markets. In other words, big business has shaped the rules of free trade to exploit poor nations. It's no secret that 80% or higher of every consumer purchase you make this year will be that of a product made in China or another developing country.
This is neither right, nor wrong. However, the disregard and plain disinterest some manufacturers have for the workers and the communities that helped them grow is certainly another story. What is unfortunate is that many people have come to look upon China and India with disgust because it is they who are 'stealing' American and European jobs. This could not be further from the truth. In Asia, these people are our brothers and sisters and also share the many hardships of constant economic insecurity as we do in America and Europe.
Many factory workers push on through the cold winter months with little or no heat in the workplace, and the conditions are no less forgiving when summer comes and workers toil endlessly in the high heat. Much of the labor force is young, and especially in the garment industry, mostly female. These young girls are usually from small villages that are able to get by on what they have, but nothing more. In time, the promise of money and added security lures these girls to the cities and separates them from their families. Once in the factory, the girls quickly learn that it's not all fun and games, but truly difficult and tiring work. But there is no turning back for most of the workers, whose families now depend on them for constant income. This situation is a breeding ground for factory owners who are quick to exploit young labor to increase their own profits and economic security.
Del Rossa buys from factories in two main countries: Thailand and China. One of the partners from Del Rossa actually lives in Asia and works closely with the factories making Del Rossa's clothing. Therefore, we absolutely guarantee that no worker was exploited or treated unfairly in the making of our clothing. Many of the factory owners have become friends of ours and treat their workers with all the respect and temperament a good employer could offer his or her employees.
