Are you ready to launch your own fashion label?
Turning your vision into real products is exciting—but sourcing can feel overwhelming. The truth is, finding the right producer makes all the difference. A good partner doesn’t just sew garments; they understand your goals and help you build a brand that lasts.
At KN Knit, we’ve worked with startups and established labels alike, and here are the core things you should consider when choosing your production partner.
1. Find a Producer Who Understands Your Vision
Are you creating premium knitwear, sustainable babywear, or a bold streetwear collection? Whatever your niche, your factory should share your values and be able to translate your ideas into reality.
👉 Look for a producer who asks about your goals, target market, and unique requirements—not just one who talks about minimum orders.
2. Define Your Brand Image and Requirements
Have you thought about:
- The image you want your brand to project (luxury, sustainable, affordable, or performance-driven)?
- Specific materials (organic cotton, merino wool, recycled polyester)?
- Finishes, certifications, or trims that are important to your identity?
The more clearly you communicate your expectations, the better your factory partner can align with your vision.
3. Balance Price Point, Quantity, and Sales Forecast
Every startup faces the same challenge: how much should I produce?
- Larger quantities reduce cost per piece thanks to economies of scale.
- But unsold inventory ties up capital and can kill your cash flow.
The smart move: start with a manageable order that aligns with your sales projection. A reliable producer will help you determine order sizes that make sense for your stage of growth.
4. Keep Lead Times and Logistics in Mind
Timing is everything. You don’t want to miss your launch because production or shipping took longer than expected.
- Lead Time: Clarify how long sampling and bulk production will take.
- Shipping: Air freight is fast but costly; sea freight is cheaper but slower.
- Customs & Taxes: Factor in duties and import fees when budgeting.
There are many other things to consider—this is where KN Knit comes in. We provide reliable service by ensuring on-time delivery and helping reduce unnecessary costs, so you can stay focused on sales and other important aspects of growing your brand.
