About Cozy Foot · Ningbo, China

A chenille slipper factory built on craft, transparency, and one workshop.

For over a decade, we have manufactured hand-tufted chenille slippers with in-house embroidery for brands, retailers, and promotional companies worldwide. One workshop. Zero middlemen. Full control from tufting needle to ship-out pallet.

Our story

From a 4-person tufting bench in 2014 to 12 embroidery lines today.

Cozy Foot started in 2014 as a four-person hand-tufting workshop in Ningbo, China. Our founder spotted an untapped opportunity: most chenille slippers sold in the US and Europe were made on automated machines, but buyers increasingly wanted small-batch, fully custom designs →exactly the kind of work hand-tufting excels at.

By 2017 we added our first computerized embroidery head. By 2020 we ran 6 lines. Today we operate 12 embroidery production lines and ship more than 300,000 pairs per year to customers in 20+ countries →with the United States as our largest market.

Throughout this growth, we never outsourced. Every pair still passes through our Ningbo workshop. Every step →yarn selection, hand-tufting, embroidery, sewing, QC, packaging →happens under one roof. That's the only way we can guarantee the quality our customers sign off on.

Why Cozy Foot

Five things most factories won't tell you.

1. In-house embroidery, every order

Unlike trading companies that outsource your logo to a third-party embroiderer (and add 30-50% to your cost), we own 12 production lines under one roof. Your logo never leaves our workshop.

2. Hand-tufting for custom designs

Machines are great for volume. But for full-custom logos, complex patterns, and Pantone-perfect color matching, we still hand-tuft →the same way it's been done for 70 years.

3. 500-pair MOQ on chenille

Most chenille factories quote 1,000-5,000 pairs minimum. We accept 500 because our hand-tufting section absorbs the setup cost. Smaller brands can launch without overstocking.

4. Real certifications, not badges

Our BSCI, OEKO-TEX Standard 100, Sedex SMETA, and ISO 9001 certifications are audit-verified annually. We send the certificates with every quote →and you can verify on the issuing body's website.

5. One merchandiser, your project, start to ship

You don't get passed between sales reps. One person owns your project from quote to delivery. They answer your email in 24 hours →usually much faster.
