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 OEM denim manufacturing works

Starting from your tech pack, we develop patterns, create samples for approval, and source the required fabrics and trims. Once the design, fit, and wash are confirmed, we proceed to bulk production, including cutting, sewing, washing, finishing, and final quality control. This ensures your denim products are produced accurately, consistently, and ready for market.

3. Denim washes & finishes

The denim wash development process is designed to achieve the right look, hand feel, and character for each style. From subtle surface variation to more expressive finishing, we work closely with brands to develop wash effects that align with their design direction while maintaining consistency from sampling through bulk production.

We handle product development, sampling, and bulk production, allowing you to launch denim collections quickly with reduced development time and cost.
