KEYIDI TEXTILE offers small-batch womenswear manufacturing in our own garment factories in Suzhou, China. We produce shirts, blouses and dresses for fashion brands and international buyers, bringing experience from large retail orders to smaller collections.
Today, orders can start at around 200 pieces per style in total, with mixed colours and sizes, subject to fabric minimums. The garments shared here are from recent orders of approximately 1,500–3,000 pieces per style, per colour. These recent quantities are not our minimum order quantity.
Our experience with large retail orders
Earlier in our factory’s history, we produced orders for Walmart in the United States, with quantities ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of garments. That work gave us extensive garment production experience and taught us the importance of coordinating materials, construction, production and quality requirements.
A successful sample is only the beginning. The decisions behind it must also work across a full production run. That understanding remains part of our everyday work, whatever the order size.
Why we now focus on small-batch womenswear manufacturing
As fashion businesses and consumer preferences have changed, our approach has evolved. We have adjusted our minimum order quantities and placed more emphasis on working with independent labels and designer brands.
We enjoy understanding the idea behind a collection and discussing the details with the people creating it. We no longer judge an opportunity primarily by how large the order is. A focused collection and a clear working relationship matter to us.
What a 200-piece order means
Our starting reference is approximately 200 pieces per style, rather than 200 pieces for an entire collection of different styles. Colours and sizes can be mixed within that style, provided the proposed breakdown works with material purchasing requirements.
If custom-developed fabric is required, the starting quantity may be approximately 500 pieces per style. Fabric suppliers have their own minimums, so the fabric specification and colour allocation need to be reviewed together.
Please send the units for each colour and size so we can discuss a workable plan. Read more about what affects woven garment production MOQ.
A practical colour and size breakdown
For planning purposes, imagine one blouse style ordered in two colours, with 100 pieces in each colour. Each colour could contain 20 small, 30 medium, 30 large and 20 extra-large garments. The total would be 200 pieces for that style. This is an illustrative allocation, not a confirmed quotation or a promise that any fabric can be purchased at that quantity.
For small-batch womenswear manufacturing, this level of detail makes the first discussion more useful. We can review the garment quantity alongside the chosen fabric and colour requirements. If the material minimum is the constraint, we can discuss whether an alternative fabric or colour allocation is suitable before sampling proceeds.
Please also distinguish a first production order from a possible future repeat order. Share the quantities you are ready to place now, then explain your later plans separately. That gives both sides a clearer basis for discussing the current collection.
Planning sampling and production
Our typical timeline from sampling to completion of bulk production is approximately 75–90 days. When customers supply the fabric, our production lead time is approximately 30 days. We confirm the starting point and schedule for each project, including fabric readiness and the necessary approvals. Transport to your destination should be planned separately.
When planning an overseas order, distinguish factory completion, dispatch and arrival dates. Agree the delivery term and named place as well. The ICC’s official introduction to Incoterms® rules explains how these trade terms clarify delivery tasks, costs and risks.
To move into sampling, prepare a complete production-ready tech pack or a physical reference garment. Our garment sampling requirements explain the information needed.
Discuss your next production order
Our approach to small-batch womenswear manufacturing brings our existing production experience to more focused collections. We welcome independent brands and designers who need a production partner for women’s woven apparel.
Explore our manufacturing process, or send your production enquiry with your garment brief, quantity breakdown, fabric requirements and target completion date. Let’s discuss your next collection.

Send your garment brief, tech pack or physical sample details, fabric requirements, and target quantities for review.
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.
