What types of garments do you manufacture?

Denim is our core specialism — jeans, jackets, shorts, dresses, and denim skirts across womenswear, menswear, and kidswear. We also manufacture casual trousers, tops, and non-denim outerwear. With long-term partnerships across 20+ fabric mills and in-house wash development, we support a wide range of fabrics, finishes, and construction types.

What is your minimum order quantity (MOQ)?

Our minimum order quantity is 500 pieces.

What are your typical production lead times?

Our average bulk production lead time is around 30 days, depending on the order size, product complexity, and material availability.

How long does the sampling process take?

It typically takes around 7 days to develop a sample and ship it to you. Timelines may vary depending on the design, fabric sourcing, development requirements and your location.

Where are your manufacturing facilities located?

Our manufacturing operations include one factory in Zhejiang, China, and two factories in Cambodia. This setup gives us greater production flexibility and stronger supply chain support.

What is the difference between OEM and ODM?

OEM means we manufacture based on your designs, specifications, and brand requirements. ODM means you can select from our existing designs and adapt them to fit your brand. We develop around 1,000 new styles in-house each year, so there is usually something close to what you need. By offering both, along with our own unique in-house designs, we give brands flexible support, faster development, and trusted manufacturing expertise.

How do you ensure bulk production matches the approved sample?

Once you approve a sample, all specifications — fabric, construction, wash, and finish details — are locked into a detailed tech pack that governs the full production run. Our inline quality control team conducts regular checks throughout production, and each order undergoes a final audit before dispatch to verify it meets the approved standard.

How do I start a project with your team?

Getting started is simple. Share your product ideas, requirements, target order quantity, fabric preference, and any tech packs if available, and our team will guide you through the next steps from preparing a quote, to developing and sampling to production and delivery.

How to choose a denim manufacturer

Choosing the right denim manufacturer is one of the most important decisions when building a fashion brand. It is not just about finding someone who can produce jeans, it’s about finding a partner who understands your product, your market, and your growth goals. The right manufacturer should support you from development through to bulk production, without compromising on quality, timing, or communication.

Whether launching a new denim line or scaling an existing brand, choosing the right manufacturing partner can help avoid costly delays and production issues. Use this checklist to find a denim manufacturer that fits your product needs, volumes, and growth plans.

1. Check their denim production capability

Not all garment factories specialise in denim. Denim requires specific expertise in fabric selection and sourcing, wash development, stitching and construction strength, fit consistency across sizes and finishing techniques. Look for a manufacturer with proven expertise across these, and check whether their facilities and equipment can support your required styles, washes, volumes, and quality standards.

A strong denim manufacturer should be able to show clear experience in producing different denim styles, from basic jeans to more complex washes and treatments.

2. Understand their OEM and ODM offering

Start by understanding whether the denim manufacturer offers OEM, ODM, or both. OEM manufacturing allows brands to produce garments based on their own designs, specifications, and tech packs, while ODM manufacturers can provide additional support with product development, design, fabrics, washes, and technical expertise.

A manufacturer with strong OEM and ODM capabilities can offer greater flexibility, helping you turn your denim concepts into production-ready garments while maintaining your brand's specifications and quality standards.

3. Evaluate lead times and production reliability

Lead time and production reliability can have a major impact on your inventory, launch dates, and customer satisfaction.

You should ask the following questions to your manufacturer:

How long does sampling take?
What is the typical bulk production timeline?
How do they handle delays or production bottlenecks?

Look for a denim manufacturer with well-organised production processes, reliable sourcing, and sufficient manufacturing capacity. Consistent lead times are particularly important when managing seasonal collections or responding to changing market demand.

4. Check minimum order quantities (MOQs)

MOQs vary widely across denim manufacturers. Before choosing a supplier, make sure their MOQ requirements align with your current production volumes and business model. Some factories require large production runs, while others support more flexible quantities for new fashion brands, small batch collections or market testing.

As your volumes increase, the right partner should also be able to scale production without compromising quality or delivery times.

5. Review quality control standards

Quality control is critical when choosing a denim manufacturer. Ask about their quality assurance processes at each stage of production, from fabric sourcing and cutting to sewing, washing, finishing, and final inspection.

Look for manufacturers with established quality management systems, trained quality control teams, and relevant industry certifications. Strong in-house quality control helps ensure consistent fit, colour, construction, and finishing across production runs.

6. Assess communication and development support

Effective communication can make the product development and manufacturing process significantly smoother. Evaluate how quickly the manufacturer responds, how clearly they communicate production updates, and whether they provide dedicated support throughout development.

A strong manufacturing partner should be able to assist with fabric selection, denim washes, fit development, sampling, technical specifications, and production adjustments. Clear communication helps minimise errors, reduce development delays, and ensure the final product matches your expectations.

7. Look at their long-term scalability

The ideal denim manufacturer should be able to grow with your brand. Consider their production capacity, facilities, workforce, sourcing network, and ability to handle increasing order volumes.

A scalable manufacturing partner can support you from smaller initial orders through to larger production runs and international growth. Choosing a manufacturer with the right infrastructure from the beginning can help avoid the need to change suppliers as your business expands.

This includes:

increased production capacity
consistent repeat production quality
ability to support multiple collections
flexibility in fabric and wash development

Choosing the right denim manufacturing partner

The best denim manufacturer is not simply the one offering the lowest price. Look for a partner that combines denim expertise, reliable production, flexible MOQs, strong quality control, effective communication, and scalable capacity. Evaluating these factors early can help you build a reliable supply chain and establish a long-term manufacturing partnership.
