Brands and companies we have produced for
Our Italian apparel manufacturers make every category of a collection, each in a workshop that specialises in it. T-shirts and knitwear have their own pages.
We work best with brands that want premium garments and a production partner they can rely on, season after season.
Yes: Italian clothing manufacturers in our network work with new brands from the very first style.
Because made in Italy clothing still means something to your customers, and because Italian clothing manufacturers are specialised, verified, and open to visits.
I choose made in Italy production because it is still a benchmark for quality products around the world and many customers have an emotional connection to made in Italy.

Every product is evaluated on its own. The price per piece tends to drop from about 200–300 pieces.
Indicative starting prices for 30–50 pieces per style. Every product is quoted on its own, once we see your tech pack or reference.
A first prototype takes 2–5 weeks. The pre-production sample takes about 15 days from when the fabric arrives, and production 3–6 weeks. Most delays come from changes after the sample is approved, so we lock every comment in writing before production starts.
Everything that makes a garment yours, chosen with you and checked on the sample before the run. Decoration and labels are part of the quote from the start, not an extra added at the end.
A cut and sew manufacturer, which most people know as a garment or fashion manufacturer, turns fabric into finished garments. We work in both ways, and you can mix them in the same collection.
| CMT: cut, make, trim | Full package | |
|---|---|---|
| Fabric | You supply the fabric, and the trims if you have them. | We source the fabric and the trims for you. |
| What the workshop does | Cutting, sewing, finishing, and pressing, to your pattern and sample. | Everything in CMT, plus sourcing, sampling, and coordination of every supplier. |
| Good for | Brands with their own fabric suppliers or a fabric already in stock. | Brands that want one partner for the whole garment, from fabric to delivery. |
Every garment we make is a custom model, made in Italy and sold under your brand. There are two starting points, depending on what you already have.
Whichever route you choose, a dedicated project manager follows the project from brief to delivery.
Production is checked against the sample you approved, at the stages where a problem is cheapest to fix. Your project manager shares the results before the garments leave the workshop.
Colour, weight, and defects are checked when the fabric arrives, before cutting.
Pattern pieces, seams, and stitch quality are checked during production.
Garments are measured against the approved sample and your size chart.
Pressing, labels, and packaging are checked before shipping.
Quality control is included in every production we run. If you need it, we can add an independent inspection by a certified inspection body, as a paid extra. You can also see the checks yourself during a factory visit.
Fit is set on the prototype, then carried across your whole size range. This is where most first collections need help, so we plan it with you from the start.
No size chart yet? It becomes part of the tech pack we build with you, from your sample size.
High quality clothing manufacturers are not found in a directory. These are the checks we run before a workshop joins our network, and the ones you can run yourself.
Premium brands produce their clothing in Italy with us. The Prestige Club, a Swiss lifestyle brand, started with five t-shirt styles and grew from there.
