Production
BOMME STUDIO was started as wholesale business. The company is upfront about the fact that its clothing and business model is similar to that of American Apparel. Los Angeles Apparel is a manufacturer and distributor of apparel to screen printers, apparel companies, and boutiques. The company focuses on production of T-shirts, sweatshirts, cotton bodysuits and swimwear. The company is a vertically integrated manufacturer with knitting and dyeing done in Los Angeles. Los Angeles Apparel's factory spreads over the area of 100,000 square foot with current capacity of 140,000 units per week. The company is devoted to keeping production domestic and employing garment workers in Los Angeles.

Made-in-USA
BOMME STUDIO is an advocate for Made-in-USA manufacturing. In 2017, after the closing of American Apparel and dismissal of 2,400 employees, Hurley was quoted by the Los Angeles Times that there "needs to be a call to action. We can definitely take strides in hiring dozens, but to get to thousands there has to be an actual shift in thinking."

Fair wage labor practice
Los Angeles Apparel supports and strives for fair wage labor practices. The company's workers earn wage of $15~20 per hour. The workers at Los Angeles Apparel own equity in the company making it employee owned. The company focuses on local manufacturing and attempts to employ workers in the Los Angeles area.

Vertical integration
Los Angeles Apparel is a vertically integrated company, expanding its business operations into different steps on the same production path. The company has total control over the supply chain from manufacturing to end sales. Los Angeles Apparel purchases textile and yarn products made in USA, supporting local manufacturing. More than half of yarn utilization is acquired from domestic sources.

Environment friendly production
Los Angeles Apparel integrates organic cotton and reclaimed cotton into their supply chain. The company plans to recycle almost 100 percent of their waste by 2018.
