Built for First-Time Brand Founders

  • You have a logo or brand concept but aren't sure how to turn it into a real product
  • You want to launch with t-shirts, hoodies, or sweatshirts — the essentials of streetwear
  • You don't have thousands of units to order — you need a manufacturer who works with small runs
  • You're based in Europe or the US and want fast shipping — not months-long waits from Asia
  • You care about quality and want your brand to feel premium from day one
  • You've heard horror stories about bad manufacturers and want a partner you can trust

No Experience? No Problem.

Most of our Brand Starter clients have never manufactured a single garment before. They come to us with an idea — sometimes just a sketch on a napkin or a logo saved on their phone — and we guide them through every step.

We'll explain what a Tech Pack is, help you pick the right fabric weight, show you the difference between screen print and DTG, and make sure your first collection looks like it was made by a brand that's been around for years. Your first drop, done right.

Everything You Need. Nothing You Don't.

One package. One partner. From your first sketch to a finished product in your hands — we guide you through every step of the clothing manufacturing process.

01

Design Consultation & Tech Pack

Send us your logo, mood board, or rough concept. Our design team builds a full production-ready Tech Pack: garment model, print placement, colorways, and size chart. We work with you until every detail is exactly right.

02

Fabric Selection & Swatches

Choose from premium Turkish cotton options — from 180gsm jerseys for lightweight tees to 400gsm fleece for heavyweight hoodies. We send physical swatches to your door so you can feel the quality before committing.

03

Sample Production

Before any bulk production, we make 1–2 physical samples of each piece. You receive the actual garment to check fit, fabric, print quality, and overall feel. We don't move forward until you're 100% happy.

04

Low MOQ Manufacturing

Production starts at just 50 pieces per style and color. Cut, sew, print or embroider, and finish — all done in our Istanbul workshop with strict quality control at every step of the manufacturing process.

05

Private Label & Packaging

Your brand, fully realized. Custom woven neck labels, printed care labels, branded hang tags, and packaging — all with your logo. Your customers will never know where it was made. It's your brand, through and through.

06

Worldwide Shipping

We ship DDP or DAP to any address in Europe and North America. Full tracking, transparent logistics, and delivery in 5–10 business days after production. Straight to your door or your warehouse.

The Best of Both Worlds

Istanbul gives you the quality of European manufacturing at a fraction of the cost — with shipping times of days, not months.

Premium Turkish Cotton

Turkey is one of the world's top cotton producers. Our fabrics are soft, durable, and meet European quality standards. The phrase "Made in Turkey" carries real weight in streetwear — it signals quality and authenticity without the price tag of Italy or Portugal.

Faster Than Asia. More Affordable Than Europe.

Istanbul gives you the craftsmanship of European manufacturing at a price point far below Portugal or Italy — with shipping times of days to Europe, not months from China. Your first collection arrives in weeks, not quarters.

Ethical & Transparent Production

We work with local workshops in Istanbul with fair wages and safe conditions. No middlemen, no hidden factories. You're welcome to visit anytime. Transparency and ethical manufacturing are values your European customers care about.

Design-Led, Not Factory-Led

Our team includes graphic designers who understand brand aesthetics. We don't just follow instructions — we help you make better creative decisions. From logo optimization to print placement, we refine your vision into a production-ready product.

Four Steps to Your First Collection

No confusing jargon, no hidden steps. Here's exactly what happens from the moment you reach out to holding your first products.

03

Everything First-Time Founders Ask Us

Starting a clothing brand is full of unknowns. Here are the answers to the questions we hear most.

A Tech Pack is a detailed blueprint of your garment — it includes measurements, fabric specs, print placement, colorways, and construction details. You don't need to have one before contacting us. We build it for you as part of the Brand Starter service. It's included in the package.
Fabric weight is measured in GSM (grams per square meter). For t-shirts, 180–200gsm gives a standard feel while 220–280gsm creates a premium heavyweight feel popular in streetwear. For hoodies, 320–400gsm is ideal. We send physical swatches so you can feel the difference yourself before making any decisions.
Screen printing pushes ink through a mesh stencil — it's best for bold, simple designs with few colors and gives a thick, premium feel. DTG (Direct-to-Garment) works like an inkjet printer and is ideal for complex, multi-color artwork with gradients and photo-realistic prints. We'll recommend the best method based on your specific design.
Yes. Our minimum order is 50 pieces per style and color. If you want a black hoodie and a white t-shirt, that's 50 black hoodies and 50 white tees. This is designed for first-time brands who want to test the market without a massive inventory investment.
From first contact to delivery, expect about 4–6 weeks total. Design and sampling takes 1–2 weeks, production takes 2–3 weeks, and shipping to Europe or the US takes 5–10 business days. We keep you updated at every stage.
That's exactly what Brand Starter is for. Send us your logo and tell us what you're going for — we'll create mockups, suggest print placements, recommend garment styles, and build a complete collection concept for your approval. Many of our best projects started with just a logo on a phone screen.
Always. We produce 1–2 samples per design and ship them to your address. You check the fabric, fit, print quality, and labels. If something needs to change, we revise until you're 100% satisfied. We never move to bulk production without your explicit approval.
Pricing depends on garment type, fabric, print method, and quantity. A premium heavyweight t-shirt with screen print and private labeling starts around $12–18 per unit at 50 pieces. Hoodies start around $22–35 per unit. We provide a detailed quote within 24 hours — no hidden fees, no surprises.

Your Brand Starts with a Conversation

Send us your logo, a sketch, or even just an idea. We'll get back to you within 24 hours with a free consultation and a clear path to your first collection. No commitment, no pressure.
