Burlingame, California-based supplier KNOSS Apparel (PPAI 798753, formerly Standard-Base) is ceasing operations.

“Unfortunately, despite our incredible momentum, circumstances beyond our control have brought us to the difficult decision to wind down our incredible startup called KNOSS at the end of this year,” Elson Yeung, president and founder of KNOSS, announced on LinkedIn.

“We’ve never been prouder and more excited about our progress and what we’ve accomplished; however, the realities we’ve faced make it impossible to continue the journey in the way that KNOSS deserves.”

• Founded in 2020, the company offers a plethora of apparel choices, including polos, outerwear and headwear – all of which are currently part of a 30% sale on the company’s website.
• The Knoss family has a 50-plus-year history in manufacturing school uniforms, postal worker uniforms and premium sweaters, according to the company website.

“As we step into this next chapter, I want to emphasize how much you’ve meant to us,” says Yeung, who previously served as director of design and merchandising for alphabroder, PPAI 100’s No. 2 supplier.

“You have been integral to everything we’ve achieved, and I will carry the memories of this experience with me always. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for being part of KNOSS.”
