F.A.Q.'S
WHAT IS YOUR MINIMUM MOQ? (Minimum Order Quantity)
Our minimum Order Quantity for product of most styles is 200 pieces per style for Domestic Orders (anything made in one of our partner factories here in the US) and 1000 pieces per style when using our Asia, Italian or Peruvian factories. Garment complexity, as well as availability of the desired fabric, are other things that influence minimums. We are able to negotiate on initial/first orders with a factory issued surcharge depending on the quantity needed. They love to help you grow your business.
Please note for 200 pcs, depending on dye minimums, you can make 100 pcs in 2 different colorways. For 1000 pcs, the factories overseas require 200 pcs per color (so you can have up to 5 different colorways in one style.
Sourcing is not a straight forward process but we are here to guide and support you each step of the way.
HOW LONG DOES PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT TAKE?
Product Development time can vary drastically depneding what the project entails. For example, programs that include making custom fabrics and custom dye can take many months longer than projects where you (the client) chooses from in stock fabrics in pre-dyed options.
It all depends how specific and how custom you want your product to be. One way to increase speed and efficiency is to know exactly which styles you want to produce, you have a sample to follow, and you have clear information on the desired fit as well as having your artwork files vectorized and ready to be sent for printing or label/tag/trim creation. If you have specific deadlines for your development, make sure to let us know and we will map out a timeline that best fits your needs.

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT OVERVIEW
We realized that so many brands, aspiring brands and businesses were looking to elevate their brand or start their business with a certain vision in mind. They, like you, have amazing ideas but no technical expertise to build or source the products that you envision. This is where we come in. We created our product development program to simplify this process and pair you with industry experts for whatever needs you have all in one inter-connected agency.
