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.
