Founded in 2016 by Samuel Wei and Daniel Gu, MotivMfg is an independent design and production studio with an aim to create clothing stemmed in tradition but made for the future. Through constant research into garment making techniques of tailoring and workwear traditions, we at MotivMfg seek to distill the human elements of these methods to make clothing that are not merely “reproductions” but “recreations”, clothing that interact with the present-day wearer’s body and their environment in distinct ways.

All MotivMfg garments are made by our own small production team on our own premise in Beijing. Through our unique mix of talented craftspeople and equipment, we are able to produce clothes that combine tailored anatomic shapes and industrial sewing details, something simply unattainable under large scale industrial settings.
