We have since built a close link in China and in 2009 we opened a Chinese office in Hangzhou City The Chinese office is called Sino Step and from 2009, this has enabled us to make both FOB orders and landed orders to our buyers Our knitted hats use different yarns and weights from fine knit to hand knitted items From 2005, f2 started to make its first accessories orders for uk high street stores, the success of the early business and coupled with the demise of local manufacturing made us turn our attentions to importing and we found ourselves travelling and working allot in Asia and mainly China Handwarmer and hooded gloves are just a brief selection of the gloves we make In 1995 f2 started to develop its own brand label designs and this more independent identity gave the company more attention and a higher profile, our distribution became solely to wholesalers and large well known retailers
