JBG Fashion was established from a sheer passion of Jeemol & Syrial Kurian in 2019. Jeemol, the Founder, moved with Syril Kurian to Tirupur after her marriage. She aided him in manufacturing and exporting the cotton garments.
Jeemol – Founder
Jeemol founded JBG FASHION and holds a master’s degree in Mathematics (M.Sc. B.Ed). After marrying Syril Kurian, she moved to Tirupur, where Syril’s work in nonprofit garment manufacturing and his dedication to environmental protection (Organic) and ethical trading initiatives (Fair-Trade) inspired her to join him.
Jeemol’s commitment to organic cotton was strengthened after the birth of their daughter, Maria (Mery), ensuring she was always comfortable in the organic cotton clothes they manufactured. She has acquired extensive knowledge about the textile industry, customer handling, and the entire process from cotton manufacturing to shipping.
Currently, Jeemol is involved in sourcing organic cotton, fair-trade cotton and recycled sustainable products in Tirupur, Tamil Nadu, a major textile hub housing of India’s knitting apparel manufacturing and exporting companies

Yes! Ethical and sustainable fashion is our priority, and we’re able to source any fabrics you may need.
At JBG fashion, we do not have any minimum quantities since we are not a supplier. Suppliers have minimum quantities. Every supplier is different. Therefore, every supplier has different conditions in terms of minimums. Small orders will be directed to small manufacturers, medium-sized orders will be directed to medium-sized manufacturers, and bigger orders will be directed to bigger established factories. It’s all about matching the right project with the right manufacturer.
Of course you can. We are totally transparent and would love for you to visit your chosen factory if you have the time!
This really helps to solidify a strong relationship with the manufacturers, our teams regularly visit factories on behalf of our clients – it creates a great bond and helps make things happen quicker.
You have full power to contact the suppliers, and again we even give you their details for this! This is the entire basis of our service – to help you form a strong relationship with the suppliers.
From yarn to finished product, we follow international standard systems to meet the client’s requirements. We follow the 4-point inspection and grading system to assess the knit fabrics quality.
We ensure that the garments delivered meet the required AQL level. Beyond following all the quality inspections in the production process, we select the right suppliers and manufacturers.
We have QC expert team to perform AQL sampling, laboratory tests, textile quality audits, quality control and more effectively, and will work alongside your organization to achieve quality and brand goals.
We can integrate with third-party inspection agencies like SGS, TUV, SUD, and Intertek which can significantly enhance the quality control process. These agencies are renowned for their expertise in testing, inspection, and certification, providing an unbiased evaluation of product quality.
We only share your tech packs with the ethical manufacturers in our network whom we trust implicitly. When you’re not in production, your intellectual property is stored off-site for protection against design exposure.
A tech pack is the blueprint of your design, which includes you CAD drawings, garment details (e.g. stitching, trims, etc.), size grading specifications and measurements. A good quality should contain all the information required for your manufacturer to develop your patterns and stitch your samples. Tech packs are updated through the sample process, any changes in design should be reflected in the tech pack.
You can either send us your physical samples (with any alteration instructions) or you can take pictures of your samples and edit these images to include your seam measurements, then include them in your tech packs. Once you send your physical samples to us, we will use them to obtain production costs for you. This will take longer than if we have your tech packs but it does make things much easier if you are looking to replicate your samples.
If you just have sketches you’ll need to turn your sketches into clearly drawn supporting images for your tech packs, with corresponding seam measurement lines. But you can still use them.
On average, we estimate anywhere between 4-6+ months lead-time- from sketch to delivery to your door. This timeline can vary, largely depending on which stage of the process you begin with us, your sourcing strategy, the complexity of your product, and the manufacturer’s capacity. Raw material lead-times can also be a key factor in determining the overall production timelines.
Lead-times depends on the quantity, styles and festival season time
