From something I edited recently:
"Here are four superior examples of boutiques with a single designer producing clothing that is made in France."
The words that got me temporarily confused are "designer" next to "producing." For a moment I thought a hyphen should be between them, but then I realized that wasn't right. To avoid sentences that might be ambiguous, I recommend using a "that" or "who" clause instead of the "-ing" form:
"Here are four superior examples of boutiques with a single designer who produces clothing that is made in France."
No ambiguity there.
