Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers from people who've sourced 100+ orders in Portugal.

Most factories in our group start at 100 units per style. Some specialise in smaller runs and accept 50 units, particularly for knitwear and basics. We confirm the exact MOQ for your product before you commit to anything.

Typically 6 to 10 weeks from approved sample to finished goods. Sample development adds 2 to 4 weeks before that. Rush production is possible in some cases but costs more and reduces your quality control options. We'll give you a realistic timeline before production starts, not after.

Yes. Many of our clients are placing their first production run. The main requirement is a realistic brief: clear garment specs, a sensible quantity, and a timeline that allows proper sample development. We're direct about whether your project is a fit before you spend anything.

Cut and sew sportswear, knitwear, outerwear, trousers, shirts, dresses, swimwear, and workwear. Not every factory covers everything. We route your order to the one built for your specific product category rather than the one that happens to reply fastest.

Several hold GOTS, OCS, or OEKO-TEX certifications. If compliance is a requirement for your market or retail buyers, flag it in your brief and we'll filter for certified factories only. We don't list certifications we haven't verified.

You'll need one before production starts. We can generate a factory-ready tech pack for under €100 as part of the service. Detailed sketches or a reference garment are enough to get started. Factories will not quote accurately without proper documentation, so getting this right early saves significant time.
