About Jeanne May

With over 32 years of experience in the apparel industry, I am a seasoned professional with a passion for supplying quality products and building strong customer relationships. As the owner and director of sales at Stylemakers, I manage sales operations across the US, Canada, South America, and Asia, connecting customers with suppliers that value sustainability and excellence in service. I have facilitated the sourcing of various products such as product ID, zippers, hardware, and eco fabrics, ensuring customer satisfaction and brand development. I have also achieved significant growth in revenue by identifying and nurturing long-term partnerships with suppliers who share our commitment to quality and sustainability. Prior opening Stylemakers, I was the purchasing director at Faris Bros. Lingerie, where I was responsible for sourcing all fabrics, trims, and product ID, working closely with the production team and contributing to catalog development. I am always eager to learn new trends and technologies in the apparel industry and to share my expertise with others.
