Sourcing Textiles – Custom Apparel for an E-Commerce Brand

Introduction

A European e-commerce startup wanted to develop a sustainable clothing line, specifically organic cotton T-shirts.

Challenge

• Factories claimed to use organic fabrics but couldn’t provide certification.
• The client needed low MOQ (100 pieces) to test the market.

Solution

• We identified suppliers with GOTS-certified organic cotton.
• Arranged fabric and fit samples before production.
• Negotiated a low MOQ and ensured ethical labor standards were met.

Results

The client launched their T-shirt line with 100% certified organic fabric, selling out in 3 weeks. They scaled production with the same supplier.
