Aeropostale Inc., which said last month that it was feuding with a clothing supplier and could face costly disruptions, has lined up alternative sourcing from Li & Fung Ltd., according to people with knowledge of the situation.
Li & Fung, a Hong Kong clothing vendor that was already working with Aeropostale, will now be providing the majority of the chain’s sourcing, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the matter isn’t public. It is displacing MGF Sourcing as the teen retailer’s main supplier, they said.
