Get Your Free QuoteFrom tech-pack to doorstep delivery—transparent, trackable, and guaranteed.
Everything starts with your vision. Send us your tech pack, sketches, or reference samples. We'll review your design requirements, fabric preferences, target price, timeline, MOQ, and any required certifications (OEKO-TEX, BSCI, GOTS, etc.). Our team ensures all specifications are clear and manufacturable before we proceed to sourcing.
Competition drives the best prices. We send your RFQ to 3-5 pre-vetted factories specialized in your product category. Each factory is evaluated for quality, compliance, capacity, and reliability. Within 48-72 hours, you receive comprehensive quotes with detailed breakdowns, allowing you to make an informed decision based on price, quality, and production capabilities.
Before mass production begins, the factory produces physical samples using your exact specifications. Our team coordinates sample production, reviews each sample for quality and accuracy, and manages all revisions. We ensure perfect fit, finish, fabric quality, and construction details before you approve. Unlimited revisions are included—we won't proceed until you're 100% satisfied.
Once you approve samples and place your order, production begins with our comprehensive quality assurance system. Our on-site QA team monitors every stage of production, from fabric cutting to final assembly. We catch defects early, ensure consistency, and maintain your approved sample standards throughout the entire production run. You receive regular updates with photos and progress reports.
Fabric testing, color matching, and material verification before cutting begins
Daily quality checks during production with detailed photo reports and defect tracking
Final AQL inspection and verification before goods leave the factory
We handle all logistics and documentation, ensuring smooth customs clearance and on-time delivery. Our team coordinates with trusted freight forwarders, prepares all shipping documents (commercial invoice, packing list, certificates of origin), and provides real-time tracking updates.
