Launching a fashion startup is exciting, but choosing the right apparel manufacturing partner can make or break your success. At 3ANGELS, we’ve helped countless new brands scale confidently with high-quality apparel. Here’s how to choose the best manufacturer for your brand.
1. Define Your Apparel Production Needs
Before contacting manufacturers, know what you need:
- Product types (T-shirts, hoodies, joggers, etc.)
- Quantity requirements (MOQs)
- Fabric preferences (organic, blends, premium cotton, etc.)
- Design support or tech pack requirements
2. Research B2B Apparel Manufacturing Companies
Not all manufacturers are created equal. Look for:
- Proven experience with startups
- Positive testimonials or case studies
- Transparent communication and clear pricing
3ANGELS, for instance, offers end-to-end solutions tailored for emerging fashion brands.
3. Evaluate Their Quality Standards
Ask questions like:
- What quality control steps are in place?
- Do they follow international standards?
- Can they provide samples?
4. Consider Location and Logistics
Whether local or overseas, consider:
- Shipping costs
- Production timelines
- Customs and import duties
5. Ask About Scalability
You want a partner who can grow with you. Ensure they can handle larger orders as your brand expands.
