2. Fit & Lab Dip Samples

We source physical yarns and run lab dips for color matching. A structural fit sample is built in 7-14 days to confirm sleeve lengths, shoulder lines, and the overall drape of the garment before cutting bulk fabrics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Transparent insights on our pricing, sample runs, minimum orders, and supply chain logistics.

What are your production and FOB price lists?
Our pricing is dynamic and calculated based on fabric choice (GSM), total order volume, complexity of embellishments (e.g., embossing vs. digital print), and seasonal raw material costs. Contact our team with your tech pack, and we will send you an itemized FOB quote within 24 hours.
What is your Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) policy?
Our standard MOQ is set per style and fabric type. However, we support emerging Berlin streetwear brands through a flexible supply chain. By using shared raw material stock, we can reduce MOQs for custom dye runs. Let us know your target volumes, and we will recommend the best solution.
Can you provide full compliance certification for import into the German market?
Yes, we provide all import documentation needed for the EU and German markets. This includes GOTS certificates for organic cotton, GRS certificates for recycled polyester, and OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certifications. We also assist with customs clearance and local compliance documentation.
What is the average lead time for samples and bulk orders?
Our proto-samples are completed within 7-14 days. Bulk production takes about 3-4 weeks for simple styles after the pre-production sample is approved, and 4-5 weeks for complex designs with embossing or sequins. Shipping to Hamburg or Rotterdam by sea adds 30-35 days, while air freight takes 5-7 days.
What payment terms do you support?
We accept advance Telegraphic Transfer (T/T) and Letter of Credit (L/C) at sight. For long-term partners with approved credit insurance coverage in China, we can also offer post-shipment T/T payment options.
Do you offer product quality warranties?
Yes, we warrant our materials and workmanship. Our commitment is to your satisfaction with our products. In warranty or not, it is the culture of our company to address and resolve all customer issues to everyone’s satisfaction. We perform AQL 2.5/4.0 inspections before packing.
