Newark, NJ –
Unionwear is pleased to announce that Falon Chavous will be heading up its Supply Chain Management. Chavous previously managed over $20m of product for top-tier fashion firms like The Children’s Place and New York & Co.

“It’s great to join Unionwear,” Chavous said. “I’m excited to use my product development, production, and logistical experience to create opportunities for both Unionwear and our suppliers. Additionally, I am passionate about bringing manufacturing back to the United States. I look forward to working with both domestic and international suppliers on Unionwear’s expansion.”

“I am thrilled Ms. Chavous decided to join the team,” said Unionwear President Mitch Cahn. “She brings a wealth of knowledge and experience on supply chain management. Given her deep experience with industry trends toward reshoring manufacturing, I am confident she will be a reliable partner for our suppliers to place orders, get paid, and have their orders shipped on-time, every time.”

Previously, Chavous was the sourcing manager for The Children’s Place, where she managed the sourcing, product development and production for various accessories categories such as hats, backpacks, and novelty items.

About Unionwear
Unionwear manufactures hats, bags, portfolios, and binders for the “Made in USA” market, including every branch of the armed services, every Democratic candidate for president for the last 20 years, every international union, domestic manufacturers like GM and Budweiser, and brands such as Vineyard Vines and Supreme. When the pandemic hit, Unionwear used its relationship with the health care workers’ union to transition to face shields and isolation gowns fast enough to have made a significant impact in the NYC hospital system’s ability to cope with the pandemic at its peak.

Unionwear, one of Newark’s largest private employers of Newark residents, won the SEAMS Domestic Textile Association’s inaugural ‘Reshoring Award” for bringing textile jobs back to America in 2019 and was named to Fortune Magazine’s Inner City 100 list.
