Case Studies
From 30 Pieces to 2 Million Garments a Year
A brand that started with one development run now orders across 38 countries. This is how we built the production relationship that made it possible.
Provenance of this example
The client is not named, which is normal — most brands treat their supply chain as competitively sensitive. The figures below illustrate how a project of this shape is typically handled. Before publishing them as a verified record we confirm them against the underlying order records, and we will say plainly if we cannot.
The challenge
- →The brand had a developed style but no production partner that could scale with it.
- →Orders spanned 38 countries, each with different markets, compliance needs and delivery expectations.
- →The brand needed consistent quality across a growing SKU count without a growing defect rate.
- →MOQs from traditional manufacturers forced bulk commitments the brand was not ready to make.
Our approach
- →We started with a development run: 30 pieces to validate the style, the fit and the price in the market.
- →The make-sheet from that run became the bulk instruction, so the second run was a controlled repeat, not a re-negotiation.
- →We set a structured MOQ ladder: development run → repeatable re-orders → container volume, without re-tooling.
- →We documented every order with the HS code, the composition, the origin and the landed cost so the brand could price every market correctly.
- →We built in-line quality checkpoints so defects were caught at source, not at the port.
The results
The brand now orders over 2 million garments a year across 38 countries.
Quality has held as volume has grown — the defect rate did not rise with the SKU count.
The brand can test a new style at 30 pieces and scale to container volume when demand is confirmed.
Every order ships with the documentation the brand needs: GOTS/GRS chain of custody, HS code, composition, origin, inspection record.
