Based in our eco-friendly renovated studio using a blend of modern technology and heritage techniques, we specialise in swim and activewear in stretch fabrics, and can help you manufacture and develop most sportswear products, including: leggings, shorts, T-shirts, athleisure, tracksuits, swimsuits, cycling gear, tennis gear and more.

FAQs

 

    • Our minimum order quantity (MOQ) is 50 items.
    • Production starts at £20 per item for a basic garment (exclusive of any fabrics, trims) - your retail price point will need to be high enough to cover manufacturing and materials.
    • We produce premium quality garments in a sustainable way specialising in swim and active wear in stretch fabrics (we don’t make other garments in our studio, e.g. dresses, shirts, suits, etc).
    • Lead times will depend on the number of items per order and complexity of garment construction.
    • We don't produce childrenswear (we don't have the right machinery for compliance).
    • We don't work with underwiring for swimwear (we don't have the right machine)
