Woven womenswear
Blouses developed around your fit, fabric and brand.
Silhouette, fabric, color, print and embroidery — developed from your tech pack or a reference sample.
A blouse usually sits next to a shirt in the same range and behaves differently: softer fabrics, more drape, and detail work that is meant to be looked at. This page covers what we develop in that space and what it takes to get there.
Positioning
The category and who it suits
Woven blouses are the category next to our core work. Most of the brands we develop for already produce woven shirts and want a softer, more detailed style alongside them, sharing a fabric direction or color story.
That means we are set up for buyers who arrive with a plan: a tech pack, a size chart, a reference sample, or at least a clear direction and a target date. If you have none of those yet, tell us anyway and we will tell you what is missing.
Directions
What buyers usually bring us
We are a development and production partner rather than a catalogue, so the starting point is normally one of these.
- A blouse to sit alongside an existing shirt range, sharing fabric or color direction
- A reference sample to be developed in a different fabric, weight or color
- A style from a previous season repeated in new colors or with new artwork
- A private-label blouse produced under your own label, care label and packaging
Materials & details
Fabric, color and detailing
Material decisions drive the calendar, so they are settled early rather than alongside sampling.
- Fabric sourced or developed against your composition, weight and handle requirements
- Stock fabric for speed, or fabric produced to your specification
- Lab dips and custom color developed against your reference, including Pantone references
- Print and embroidery developed and trialled before they reach a sample
- Fit and construction revisions carried out against your comments
- Main label, care label, hangtag and packaging produced from the artwork you supply
Capability
Development and production capability
The same process and the same inspection standard apply to every category we produce.
- Pattern making in house, from a tech pack, size chart or reference sample
- Sampling with your fit comments recorded point by point against the sample
- Material and trim sourcing coordinated against the approved sample
- Finishing and quality management handled by our own team
- Full inspection to AQL Major 2.5 / Minor 4.0 before packing
- Third-party inspection accepted before shipment
Volume and timing
MOQ and reference timings
Quantity and timing are the two questions every buyer asks first, so they are answered the same way across our categories.
- Standard MOQ300 / style / color
- Trial order100 / style / color
- Small runs50, case by case
- SampleAbout 10 daysWhen a suitable stock fabric is available. A custom fabric adds time, confirmed per project.
- SMSAbout 20 daysWith stock fabric, counted from the point all pre-production information is confirmed.
- Bulk productionAbout 30–60 days30–45 days with available fabric, 40–60 days when the fabric also has to be produced. After all details are confirmed.
Buyer questions
Questions we are asked about this category.
01What is your MOQ for a blouse?
The standard minimum is 300 pieces per style per color. Projects around 100 pieces per style per color can be reviewed depending on fabric, construction and cost, and quantities around 50 are exceptional and assessed case by case.
02We only have a sample, not a tech pack. Can you still develop it?
Yes. Send the physical sample and we can develop the pattern and sample from it. A tech pack and size chart still give the most predictable result, because measurements and construction are explicit rather than inferred.
03Can the blouse carry our own labels and packaging?
Yes. Main labels, care labels, hangtags and packaging are produced from your artwork, so the garment arrives as your product rather than ours.
04Is a blouse treated differently from a shirt?
The route is the same: pattern, sample, fit revision, approval, then bulk. Softer fabrics and more visible detail work make the early material and color decisions more important, because changing fabric after sampling usually means judging the fit again.
