One of its suppliers is Taiwanese vendor Makalot Industrial Co., known for making clothes sold by Uniqlo, Gap and Kohl's. The other Taiwanese company it's working with sounds a lot more interesting though: Eclat Textile Co. also manufactures clothing for Nike, Lululemon and Under Armour. This is far from Amazon's first foray into clothing and fashion. It already has several clothing and accessories labels, including one that focuses on women's bags and shoes.

As Bloomberg notes, the e-retail titan usually looks into making its own merchandise whenever it wants to fill the gaps in its inventory. Some brands choose not to sell certain items on Amazon, and the company wants to be able to offer those to customers, so they won't have to shop anywhere else.
