Founding Team & Leadership
Our leadership combines decades of fashion expertise with technological innovation:
Alexandra Chen, CEO & Co-Founder - Former Head of Menswear at Burberry with 15+ years in luxury fashion. Pioneered the "lean luxury" production methodology that defines our operational model.
Dr. Marcus Wright, CTO & Co-Founder - PhD in Material Science from MIT. Developed our proprietary COOLTECH® fabric technology used across performance lines.
James Fitzgerald, Creative Director - Award-winning designer formerly with Thom Browne. His "co-sourcing" approach integrates customer feedback directly into the design process through digital platforms :cite.
Under their guidance, we've built a culture that embraces Fitzgerald's philosophy: "Problems are gold - understanding the real value of mistakes is integral to building success" :cite. This mindset fuels our innovation cycles.
Industry Focus & Expertise
3 Dragon Limited operates at the intersection of multiple sectors:
1. Premium Menswear: Core business offering ranging from accessible luxury to bespoke tailoring
2. Sustainable Technical Fabrics: Vertical integration through our materials R&D lab developing patented eco-textiles
3. Omnichannel Retail Technology: Proprietary platform blending physical/digital experiences
Our expertise extends beyond traditional fashion into sophisticated supply chain management systems. We've implemented an advanced SRM (Supplier Relationship Management) platform that coordinates over 200 global partners, enabling real-time order tracking, quality control, and dynamic adjustment to demand fluctuations :cite. This system has reduced production waste by 27% since implementation.
Strategic Collaborations
Our growth is accelerated through high-impact partnerships:
Luxury Retail Expansion: 2024 partnership with Harrods establishing dedicated shop-in-shop concept spaces across 12 international locations
Technical Innovation: Collaboration with Universal Robotics deploying collaborative robots ("co-bots") in our Portuguese manufacturing facility. These robots work alongside master tailors for precision operations, increasing production efficiency while maintaining artisanal quality :cite.
Material Science: Joint development agreement with MIT's Fabric Discovery Lab for next-generation biodegradable performance fabrics
Logistics Transformation: Strategic alliance with Maersk implementing AI-driven inventory distribution reducing delivery times by 42%
Funding Journey
3 Dragon Limited has secured strategic capital to fuel growth:
- Seed Round (2016): $2.5M from fashion-focused angels
- Series A (2019): $15M led by Ventura Capital
- Series B (2022): $40M co-led by LuxCap Partners & Green Growth Fund
- Strategic Investment (2024): Undisclosed amount from LVMH's private investment arm
We're currently in discussions for a Series C round to accelerate our robotics automation and Asian market expansion.
Future Strategic Direction
Our vision extends beyond traditional apparel manufacturing:
1. Human-Robot Collaboration: Expanding our "co-bot" implementation to 70% of manufacturing by 2027, creating hybrid artisan-robotic workshops that enhance rather than replace skilled craftspeople :cite
2. Circular Economy Platform: Launching a garment lifecycle program with blockchain-tracked item histories for resale/recycling
3. Climate-Positive Manufacturing: Transitioning all facilities to carbon-negative operations by 2028
4. Co-Sourcing Evolution: Deepening our customer integration model where buyers participate in design through our digital platform, evolving toward on-demand production :cite
As articulated by our CTO: "The future isn't just automation - it's collaborative augmentation. Our vision combines the irreplaceable human touch with robotic precision to create unprecedented quality."
