Introduction to Apparel
Preferred Supplier Program
KOHLS 06/07/2012
Kohls always aims to deliver Private and Exclusive Brand Products at a fantastic value
to our customers. The Kohls value equation is a realistic balance of Quality, Style,
Price and Store Experience. We are constantly looking for ways to ensure that Kohls
products represent reliable quality that exceeds our customers expectations on every
occasion! We firmly believe that each individual component in a garment contributes to
making a quality product. To ensure that our vendors have access to consistent sources of quality trim
and findings, we have developed a Preferred Supplier Program with multinational suppliers of these
products.
The trim suppliers on the Preferred Supplier Matrix are divided into two categories, Preferred and
Recommended Suppliers. Trims for all Kohls private and exclusive brand apparel products
must be purchased from either a Preferred or Recommended supplier.
Preferred Suppliers should be used for any private or exclusive brand product, but are required for
all metal components on Newborn to 16 Girls and Newborn to 20 Boys products.
Recommended Suppliers can be used on any Good, Better or Best orders with total style
quantity of less than 75,000 units*. Recommended Suppliers CAN NOT be used for metal
components on any private or exclusive brand childrens products as outlined above,
For all orders with initial quantities below the 75,000 unit limit, vendors must source trims from either
the Preferred Suppliers or Recommended Suppliers lists at the back of this document. If
subsequent orders push the total order quantity over 75,000 units, Kohls Technical Design and
Production Teams will jointly review the trim suppliers selected to determine if the trims should be
moved to a Preferred Supplier.
ALTERNATIVE SUPPLIERS ARE NOT ALLOWED ON ANY KOHLs PRIVATE OR EXCLUSUIVE
BRAND APPAREL PRODUCTS!
* To calculate the 75,000 unit cutoff, include all styles placed with same vendor having the same
construction. This may include different style numbers for stripe, print, or pattern layout. As a general
rule, all styles grouped in one WebPDM Technical Design Package will be considered one style for the
purpose of determining if a style falls above or below the 75,000 unit limit.
By purchasing your trims and findings from one of these suppliers, you support Kohls Value Equation
and ensure the trims on your product meet Kohls quality standards.
Thank you in advance for your continued partnership and cooperation with Kohls in ensuring our
products meet our customers requirements of high quality and good value.

How has the Preferred Supplier Program changed since the CPSIA Act?
Due to CPSIA requirements, Kohls requires all childrens Newborn, to Girls 7-16 and Newborn to
Boys 8- 20 products to be tested in an approved 3rd party testing lab. The trim testing will include
all applicable regulatory toxicity tests and be conducted in every colorway and is paid for by the
trim supplier. Testing will also be conducted during the production/ finished garment testing stage.
The cost of conducting the finished garment testing is the responsibility of the vendor.
Reference Kohls Apparel Program Overview titled Fabric, Garments, Textile Accessories & Trim
Testing Program on Kohls Connection for more details.
For additional details, please refer to the testing protocols section of Kohls Connection for
information on trim testing standards and performance expectations. Kohls expects vendors to take
advantage of its Preferred Suppliers program to ensure the quality of trim products used in
Kohls Private and Exclusive Brand garments meet Kohls expectations.
