Tarrant Apparel

Private-label apparel provider Tarrant Apparel Group (TAG) is no secret to mass retailers. The company's specialty is making women's jeans, but it also offers casual wear, such as shorts, skirts, shirts, dresses, and jackets, all under store labels. TAG sells its products to more than two dozen big-name retailers the likes of Kohl's, Chico's, New York & Company, Wal-Mart, Lane Bryant, and Charlotte Russe. It peddles its American Rag Cie brand to Macy's and Alain Weiz-labeled items through specialty and department stores. TAG's products are made by third parties, primarily in China. Founders Gerard Guez and Todd Kay took the company private in mid-2009.
