Your manufacturer decides how your product fits, feels and arrives. These are the checks we’d make if we were sourcing for our own brand.
1. Start with a clear brief
Write down your target customer, price point, styles, fabrics and expected quantities. A clear brief gets you comparable quotes.
2. Check they really make it
Ask for factory videos, production photos and certificates in the company’s own name.
3. Test the sample, not the photo
Wash it, wear it, stretch the elastics. Check stitching, bonding and how the fabric recovers.
