Part of the growth included opening a massive 300 staff packaging plant in Southern China.<\/p>\n<p>The small range of 80 products has expanded to become one of the largest in the world, and the Hemline brand now contains more than 1,000 sewing and craft essentials.<\/p>\n<p>The brand has spread worldwide, with national distributors supplying Hemline globally.<\/p>\n<p>After no more than 25 years, Hemline has become the best known and one of the most recognised haberdashery and notions name in the world!<\/p>\n<table class=\"no-border\" style=\"width: 431px;\" border=\"0\" width=\"431\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<ul>\n<li>Austria<\/li>\n<li>Australia<\/li>\n<li>Belgium<\/li>\n<li>Cyprus<\/li>\n<li>Dubai<\/li>\n<li>Finland<\/li>\n<li>France*<\/li>\n<li>Germany<\/li>\n<li>Greece<\/li>\n<li>Holland<\/li>\n<li>Hong Kong<\/li>\n<li>Iceland<\/li>\n<li>Indonesia<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<ul>\n<li>Ireland<\/li>\n<li>Israel<\/li>\n<li>Kazakhstan<\/li>\n<li>Korea<\/li>\n<li>New Zealand*<\/li>\n<li>Russia<\/li>\n<li>Spain<\/li>\n<li>Sweden<\/li>\n<li>Switzerland<\/li>\n<li>Thailand<\/li>\n<li>Ukraine<\/li>\n<li>United Kingdom<\/li>\n<li>USA<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>*\u00a0Please note that the Hemline range is sold in France under the \u201cCouture Loisirs\u201d brand and in New Zealand as \u201cTrendy Trims\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-139 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/hemline.htl.whale-castle.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/QualityChecked.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"87\" height=\"79\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Hemline products are assembled and packaged in our own factory with our exclusive\u00a0FIVE STAR\u00a0Quality Control system.
