First generation
Our grandmother's beginning
Our grandmother started the family accessories business in the Netherlands. Her work began the story that the next generations carried forward.
Family, work and a continuing legacy
Three generations in accessories.
YILANG's family story began in the Netherlands and continues in China. Across three generations, the business has developed around accessories, customers and the work of turning an idea into a product. Today, that history informs how we approach design, manufacturing and the commercial decisions behind a collection.
Second generation
Our parents and Romano Shawls
Our parents developed Romano Shawls in the Netherlands, building the family's experience in accessories and relationships with customers.
Third generation
Romano and YILANG in China
Romano built YILANG in China, bringing the family's accessories experience into product development and manufacturing for brands and retailers.
A legacy carried through the work
Family experience, with the future in mind.
The legacy sets a standard for daily work: care for the product, respect for the customer and responsibility for decisions. YILANG carries that experience forward through modern production, practical development and an ambition to build for the next generation.
Founder involvement
Accountability stays close to the work.
A dedicated YILANG team manages the programme, with direct access to Romano when a decision matters. The responsibility is to keep the product, cost, quality requirements and delivery plan connected, and to address questions before they become expensive changes. Founder involvement means there is a clear route to a decision when the brief needs one.
Speak with YILANGThe commercial purpose
A collection has to work commercially.
We begin with your customer, target cost, quantity and selling season. Materials, construction, trims, testing needs and retail packing are considered together. We explain trade-offs, refine the sample and agree the specification and commercial terms before production is planned. The aim is a product that represents your brand and fits the business behind it.
