Finding a womenswear manufacturer involves more than comparing prices. You need to know whether a factory can discuss your designs, work with your planned quantities, and help you understand the production timeline.
At KEYIDI TEXTILE, we welcome these conversations with independent fashion brands and designers. Over the past few years, we have had more opportunities to work with niche labels and designer brands. We have found these conversations both enjoyable and efficient. There is often a clear idea behind the garment and a shared desire to get the details right.
Working with a womenswear manufacturer: clear design communication
A designer knows what they want the customer to see and feel. A factory brings a production perspective: how the garment will be constructed, which details need clarification, and what must be agreed before bulk production begins.
When those perspectives meet early, the conversation becomes practical. A sample gives both sides something concrete to review. Feedback can focus on the fit, proportions, and details that matter to the design.
This exchange is one of the reasons we enjoy working with independent brands. It gives us the opportunity to understand the intention behind a garment and discuss how to carry it into production.
Our own factories and production experience
We manufacture women’s woven apparel in our own garment factories in Suzhou, China. Our factories have experience producing large orders for the US retail market, including Walmart. Today, we also welcome independent brands and designers planning more focused production runs. Read about our move from large retail orders to small-batch womenswear manufacturing.
The recent womenswear orders shown in these photographs were approximately 1,500–3,000 pieces per style, per colour. These are examples of recent production quantities, rather than our minimum order size.
Orders can start at approximately 200 pieces per style in total, with mixed colours and sizes, subject to fabric availability and material minimums. If custom fabric is required, the starting quantity may be approximately 500 pieces per style, with mixed colours and sizes subject to the fabric supplier’s requirements. Please provide the quantity breakdown for each colour and size so we can confirm feasibility.
5 details to share with your womenswear manufacturer
Tell us about the collection you are developing. Design drawings and reference photographs can help explain your idea during an initial conversation. To proceed with garment sampling, prepare a complete production-ready tech pack or a physical reference garment, in line with our garment sampling requirements.
A useful first enquiry includes:
- Garment type and a complete tech pack or details of an available physical reference garment.
- Proposed quantity for each style and colour, plus the size range and size allocation.
- Fabric requirements and whether you will supply the fabric.
- Sample status and any fit or construction details that need review.
- Target date for completion of bulk production.
Include your target market and label artwork in the production discussion. For a US collection, the FTC’s textile labelling guide is a useful reference when preparing label specifications. Share the requirements relevant to your product before approving production.
If you have a target delivery date at your destination, include that separately so production completion and transport are not confused.
Sampling and production timelines
Our typical timeline from sampling through completion of bulk production is approximately 75–90 days. If you supply the fabric, the production lead time is approximately 30 days. The exact schedule and starting point are confirmed for the project, taking fabric readiness and approvals into account.
Let’s talk about your collection
As your womenswear manufacturer, we value the direct, thoughtful conversations we have with independent brands and designers. Behind every production order is someone making decisions about what their brand will stand for. We bring garment manufacturing experience and a willingness to understand the work you want to create.

Formal development requires a complete production-ready tech pack with specifications, or a physical sample garment. Concept sketches alone are not sufficient to start development.
