Quality Assurance

Vanguard International has three decades of experience in manufacturing accessories. While we offer discount prices on our services, we do not discount the quality of our products. Since 1969, Vanguard International has received various recognition for our quality control, including the award of manufacturing excellence from Sears, Roebuck and Co. We believe above all else that quality assurance is the most important factor in our business. From material and hardware inspection to final packing and shipping, we implement quality control in every stage of our production. Back

Prompt Production and Delivery Reliability

At Vanguard International, we realize the importance of timing in the fashion industry. We understand our customers' need for prompt production and reliability in delivering the products on time. Coupled with our thirty years of manufacturing experience, Vanguard International applies modern management philosophy to assure the most efficient and flexible production schedule. We excel over our peers by accommodating the most demanding production request in terms of both timing as well as quantity. Most importantly, our vast experience in the industry allows us to anticipate problems of production that other less experienced manufacturers may fail to foresee in the first place. Back

Material and Hardware Development

In addition to manufacturing of accessories, Vanguard International also provides services in developing hardware as well as new synthetic material. Vanguard has cultivated very close relationships with the leading material suppliers in Taiwan, a country that supplies the most extensive selection of synthetic material in all of Asia. At the same time, we are fully capable in supplying organic material such as leather, cotton canvas, paper straw, and others. In the past, our ability to quickly develop new material has allowed our customers to stay at the leading edge of accessory fashion. Back

Innovative Design Implementations

Although Vanguard International is not engaged in the business of fashion design, we frequently provide to our customers suggestions on construction designs that may yield better durability and save costs on production. Because of our extensive experience in the accessory industry, we are familiar with most, if not all, methods of construction, including attachment of hardware, handles, straps, webbing, etc. In the past, we have provided our customers with innovative design and construction techniques that would allow maximum manufacturing efficiency in terms of both time and cost.

Standardized International Business Transactions and Practices

At Vanguard International, we understand our customer's concern over the various risks involving international transactions in Asia. We take several steps to minimize such risks for our customers. First, we conduct all our transaction in U.S. dollars. Second, we practice standard international transaction procedures, using LC and FOB delivery protocols to ensure maximum reliability in delivering the shipment to the appropriate destination. Finally, we ensure that all export and import restrictions and requirements are fully addressed to ensure a problem-free export of products from Taiwan and/or China. Back

Observance of International Human Rights

We at Vanguard International subscribe to the philosophy that there are certain minimum standards of human life quality that must be cherished and should not be breached. Unlike some of our competitors in the industry, Vanguard International do not engage in illegal labor practices that may be contrary to the international standard of human rights. We take pride in our ability to provide low-cost, high quality products without forsaking our share of duty to observe the importance of human welfare. Back

Respect and Protection of Intellectual Property

Vanguard International views its customers as partners and has a proprietary interest in helping its customers succeed in their business. Part of protecting that interest is to fully observe that customer's intellectual property rights in trademarks, trade dress, copyrights, and patents. Unlike some other manufacturers, when our customers entrust us with their designs for purposes of manufacturing, we do not distribute or disclose such proprietary information to any other third party. In addition, we also keep a keen eye for any possible violation of our customer's intellectual property rights that may exist within our zone of operation. If such violation comes to our attention, we promptly notify both our customers as well as the appropriate authorities. Back

Complete Customer Satisfaction

While the terms "customer satisfaction" gets thrown around quite a bit by our competitors, no one emphasizes customer satisfaction more than us. We truly believe that a happy customer is a loyal customer. With that belief, we strive to become a solution provider, not a problem maker. More importantly, we believe in preventive management and eliminating any potential problem before it begins. With that motto, we maximize our customer's ability to SET THE FASHION! Back
