Chic is a global supplier of high-end special clothing material specifically for baby clothes. The company buys cotton from producers located in Alabama, Missouri, and Tennessee. The cotton is picked from the farms, cleaned, processed, and packed. The cotton is shipped in bales and transported on trucks to ports in Galveston, Louisiana, Mobile, and Baltimore where the cotton is loaded into 80-foot container vans to be shipped to Chic's factories around the world.
