At a time when 70% of American jewelry production and 97% of American clothing production is done overseas, we’re making Clipa here in the USA. Here’s why:
1. Better quality control. Because we’re in the premium accessory business, our products must meet the highest quality standards. By producing locally, we have control at every step in the process.
2. Improved lead times to customers and stores. Because transit times are quicker, our handbag hangers get to stores faster. Instead of spending time on a container ship, they’re on store shelves.
Clipa is Made in the USA
3. Lower shipping costs. Because we have lower shipping costs, we pass that savings on to customers. On average, shipping costs just $3.25 for a single online order. Buy 3 and it ships free anywhere in the U.S.
4. Reducing the carbon footprint. Because there are no containers crossing oceans or wait times in harbors burning fossil fuels, our carbon footprint is lower.
5. Keeping jobs in the U.S. By manufacturing at our facility in Irvine, California, we’re employing local workers. People like Maribel, our manufacturing lead, who oversees production. Carrie, our graphic designer. And Abigail, assembling our newest line, the Crystal Clipa Collection. Whether its manufacturing, customer service, sales, marketing, distribution or design, it happens here in Orange County, California. And that helps our local economy. Doing what we believe is right means doing it in the USA. We greatly appreciate your support.

We make every Clipa purse hanger in Orange County, California. People are often surprised about that. Southern California does a lot of manufacturing and has a fantastic infrastructure that can perform virtually any process known to man. We wanted to take advantage of this so we set up shop, a manufacturing shop in Irvine. There we assemble the parts we have designed and have made by primarily local manufacturers. The farthest flung supplier for parts resides in America’s heartland. These parts are small and lightweight so the environmental impact of shipping them to California is minimal.
While Southern California is not known for low cost manufacturing, it can be very competitive. Our Clipa bracelet purse hanger was designed in Laguna Beach to be made in California. We chose extremely efficient advanced manufacturing processes to minimize labor content and provide high quality products.
By producing our product locally and controlling every detail, we can confidently state that there are no toxic materials in a Clipa purse hanger. Companies that manufacture overseas don’t have the same level of control and occasionally have unpleasant toxic material surprises.
Topcor is proud to be making products in our local community and is committed to providing innovative, durable, useful and safe products to our customers.
