Description

Founded in Shanghai in 1997 by university couple Ye Shouzeng and Shawna Tao, ICICLE is deeply rooted in the Taoist philosophy of harmony between Man and Nature. Represented by the characters 之禾 Zhi Hé, meaning “The Sprouting Seed,” its mission focuses on sustainable connections, emphasizing humility, authenticity, environmental preservation, and social contribution. Amidst a fast-paced fashion world, the couple pioneered a design approach that remains steadfast in its commitment to simplicity and longevity. For over two decades, ICICLE has become the Eastern world’s definition of luxury, blending quality with pure comfort under the philosophy of “MADE IN EARTH.” Today, the brand boasts over 290 stores across nearly 140 cities in China, alongside three boutiques in Paris The Manufacturing Journey: ICICLE began its manufacturing journey in 2005, opening its first factory in Shanghai. Over the past two decades, the brand has expanded its expertise and production capabilitiesin China—relocating, refining, and acquiring new facilities—to establish a highly specialised and nearly fully verticalised manufacturing ecosystem with three dedicated factories, nearly 30 woven production lines, and 60 automatic flat knitting machines. Standing as the pinnacle of this ecosystem, ICICLE’s Fashion Industrial Park in Shanghai sets a new benchmark in modern production by combining advanced technology with expert craftsmanship. Completed in 2023, this landmark facility spans 100,000 m², when fully operational employs 1,500 professionals, and produces over 1.2 million garments annually across specialised weaving, knitting, and leather goods factories, all supported by a cutting-edge logistics centre. The ICICLE Haimen Factory, located in Nantong, Jiangsu Province, spans 25,000 m² and employs 635 people, focusing on the brand’s signature double-faced cashmere coats. Slated for completion in 2025, the facility will expand to the new Haimen Fashion Industrial Park, doubling its size to 50,000 m² and accommodating 1,000 employees, further advancing ICICLE’s commitment to precision craftsmanship and production excellence. Far from conventional assumptions, ICICLE’s approach to manufacturing reflects a dedication to craftsmanship with integrity. Each factory is designed not just for efficiency but for excellence, ensuring that “Made in China” also stands for made with care, expertise, and a deep respect for both man and nature. This philosophy, rooted in ICICLE’s founding principles, serves as a guiding thread through every element of its process, from design to production.
