Textiles are a thousand details — and just one can ruin a collection.

A different dye bath between two sizes, a seam that gives way in the wash, an incorrect composition label that blocks the goods at customs: our textile division, led by a former sourcing manager at a European ready-to-wear brand, knows these pitfalls.

Our teams, as close to the factories as possible.

We work from your tech packs and size charts, select the factory by product (knits in Dongguan and Ningbo, wovens in Shaoxing and Suzhou, denim in Foshan and Zhongshan, technical sportswear in Xiamen, high volumes in Vietnam and Bangladesh), validate lab dips, fits and pre-production samples, then inspect every order to AQL.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

What are the order minimums?

They depend on the fabric: 300 to 500 pieces per colorway on stock materials, 1,000 pieces and up on developed fabrics. We know how to group products to reach fabric minimums.

Do you handle ethical certifications?

Yes: we prioritize BSCI- or SMETA-audited factories, coordinate missing audits and follow up on action plans.

Can production take place outside China?

Our teams oversee production in Vietnam and Bangladesh, often with Chinese fabrics, to optimize cost, capacity and duties.
