What is the minimum order for clothing made in Italy?
+
30–50 pieces per style, with at least 30 pieces per colour. Every product is evaluated on its own, and larger runs lower the price per piece, which tends to drop from about 200–300 pieces per style. You can also order a single prototype on its own, without committing to production.
How much does it cost to manufacture clothing in Italy?
+
At 30–50 pieces per style, shirts and blouses start from €50 per piece, dresses from €60, jeans and casual pants from €40, hoodies and sweatshirts from €30, and coats, jackets, and suit jackets from €80. T-shirts start from €15 at 50 pieces, and socks from €10. Every product is quoted on its own: the final price depends on fabric, construction, quantities, and finishes.
What is a cut and sew manufacturer?
+
A cut and sew manufacturer, which most people know as a garment or fashion manufacturer, turns fabric into finished garments: cutting, sewing, finishing, and pressing to your pattern and sample. We work both ways, CMT with your fabric or full package with fabric we source, and you can mix them in one collection.
What is the difference between CMT and full-package production?
+
In CMT (cut, make, trim) you supply the fabric and the workshop cuts, sews, and finishes the garments. In full-package production we also source the fabric and the trims. We do both, and the choice can change from one style to another in the same collection.
Which fabrics can I choose?
+
Any fabric your design needs: cotton, linen, silk, wool, cashmere, denim, jersey, technical and stretch fabrics, and more. In full package we source it for you; in CMT you supply it. The fabric is the biggest driver of the price per piece, so we choose it with you first.
Where are your clothing factories?
+
Across Italy: our network covers all of the country's manufacturing districts. The workshop for your project depends on the product, and you can visit it.
Can I visit the factory?
+
Yes. Every manufacturer is verified before it joins the network, and you can visit the one that makes your clothing and see your production in person. Your project manager organises the visit.
Do I need a tech pack?
+
It helps, but it's not required. You can start from a reference garment, a sketch, or an idea: our team develops the design, the tech pack, and the pattern with you before sampling.
How long does clothing production take?
+
A prototype takes 2–5 weeks, the pre-production sample about 15 days from when the fabric arrives, and production 3–6 weeks. Every comment is locked in writing before production starts, because most delays come from late changes.
Do you handle shipping and customs?
+
Yes. We ship worldwide and manage customs, duties, and labelling requirements with you, so your order arrives without surprises. Your project manager tracks the shipment until it arrives.
Do you offer white label clothing?
+
No. We don't sell ready-made or white label garments. Every piece we make is a custom model, made in Italy and sold under your brand, starting from your tech pack or from an idea, a sketch, or a reference garment that our team develops with you.
Are you a low MOQ clothing manufacturer?
+
Our reference is 30–50 pieces per style, which is low for made in Italy production. Each product is evaluated on its own. We don't do print-on-demand or single pieces for sale, but you can order a single prototype on its own to test a design.
Do you make suits or clothing to measure?
+
No. We produce suits, tailored jackets, and every other garment in series, across your size range, from 30–50 pieces per style. We don't do made-to-measure or bespoke tailoring for single customers.
How do sizes and fit work in a clothing run?
+
Fit is set on the prototype, then the pattern is graded across your size range and every measurement is fixed in writing before production. This is where most first collections need help, so we plan it with you from the start; if you have no size chart yet, it becomes part of the tech pack we build with you.
How do you find high quality clothing manufacturers in Italy?
+
High quality clothing manufacturers are not found in a directory. Before a workshop joins our network we check a sample, visit the floor, ask for references, and look at its specialisation, materials, quality control, quotes, and export experience. You can run the same checks yourself.
