Helpful materials include:

- Product idea or reference images
- Tech pack if available
- Target product category
- Preferred fabric or handfeel
- Logo artwork or branding direction
- Target quantity
- Launch timeline
- Packaging or label requirements

MOQ And Sampling

Our MOQ starts from 50 pcs/style, depending on fabric, logo process, trims and customization requirements.

This helps us focus on serious brand owners who want long-term production support instead of one-time sample testing.
