Inside the Kingston Manufacturing Incubator: Jamaica’s Hub for Fashion
When you think of Jamaica, the first images that often come to mind are vibrant culture, music, and beaches. But beyond that, Jamaica is also home to an exciting movement in garment production: the Kingston Manufacturing Incubator.
This incubator is a collective of manufacturers from across Jamaica, coming together to create the island’s only hub leading in both ethical and technical garment innovation.
Core Production: Building Global Reach
At the heart of the incubator’s operations is its core production capacity. Collectively, the hub produces an average of 15,000 garments every week for multinational clothing brands.
The specialty? Womenswear soft separates, crafted in both jersey and woven fabrics. What makes it even more unique is that the hub brings together highly experienced manufacturers from all regions of Jamaica, uniting skills and expertise under one banner.
