The people behind Sleek Apparels.
A factory-direct manufacturer built by an operator who has spent the last five years bridging Bangladeshi production floors with Western brands.
Kh Raj Rahman
I'm a bilingual operations executive with five-plus years of cross-border textile manufacturing and supply-chain work — built between Dhaka factory floors and the business culture I learned during four years at Nankai University in China.
Sleek Apparels exists because there's a real gap between Bangladesh's manufacturing depth and the small-to-mid streetwear and private-label brands who keep getting routed through middlemen. We run as two legal entities — Sleek Apparels Limited in Dhaka and Sleek Apparels LLC in Lexington, USA — paired with Mercury banking and Stripe, so quoting, sampling, and payment feel like working with a Western SaaS company rather than a traditional export house.
Before this I spent three years turning around ARK Pullover Ltd — restoring direct export capability after a six-year hiatus, opening Canadian accounts, cutting spare-parts costs by 50–60%, and pushing average operator wages up over 50% through COVID without any government aid. That experience is the operating system Sleek Apparels runs on.
Five years building the muscle this company runs on.
