Send a reference & brief

OEM / ODM / PRIVATE LABEL

Your denim brief, developed with clarity.

Start from a product idea, a reference, a tech pack or a sample. We help growing brands develop custom denim from the first product direction through sampling, production preparation and production coordination.

01

Product direction

Define the target buyer, price position, fit direction, product category and the details that make the denim range specific to your brand.

02

Material and wash

Select denim weight, composition, stretch, colour, wash direction and handfeel based on the intended fit, market and product positioning.

03

Identity details

Build the private-label layer through custom trims, buttons, rivets, embroidery, laser details, labels, hangtags and packaging.

04

Sampling to bulk

Use the sample stage to confirm fit, construction, wash and finishing before moving into production coordination and final quality inspection.

BUILT FOR SMALLER CAPSULES TOO

MOQ from 100 pcs per style.

This makes it practical for growing brands to test a new fit, wash direction or focused private-label denim capsule before scaling further.

Share Your Brief

OEM, ODM OR PRIVATE LABEL?

Choose the development route that matches your starting point.

Different denim projects need different levels of development support. The right route depends on how complete your product concept already is.

OEM denim development

Best suited to brands that already have a clear tech pack, measurements, construction requirements and product specifications. Development focuses on turning those specifications into an approved sample and preparing the style for production coordination.

ODM denim development

Suitable when the brand has a product idea, reference garment or design direction but still needs support with fit, fabric, wash, construction and sample development.

Private label denim

Adds the brand identity layer through custom labels, buttons, rivets, patches, embroidery, hangtags and packaging after the core product direction has been defined.

BEFORE DEVELOPMENT

What should a brand prepare before starting a denim sample?

A complete tech pack is helpful, but development can also begin from a reference sample, design image or clearly defined product brief. The more information available at the beginning, the easier it is to evaluate the correct development route.

  • Product category and target fit
  • Reference images, garment sample or tech pack
  • Target fabric weight, composition and stretch
  • Wash and colour direction
  • Construction details and special features
  • Custom trims, labels and branding requirements
  • Target quantity per style
  • Target market and expected development timeline

When fit or size range needs an extra check

For a non-standard denim fit or an early order covering more than one size, identify the intended fit, base size and the measurement points that control the silhouette. Clarify the planned size range and quantity breakdown with the fabric, wash, trims and construction direction before reviewing the development route. Grading and size distribution are reviewed against the actual brief and approved sample; they are not assumed from a fixed ratio.

A clearer tech pack or brief helps make the first quotation discussion more specific. See our denim tech-pack guide for the measurement, fit and specification details to prepare.

FROM SAMPLE TO BULK

Development decisions are reviewed before bulk production.

The sample stage is used to align fit, visible construction, wash direction, trims and finishing details before production approval. Final specifications should be confirmed before grading and bulk cutting.

OEM / ODM FAQ

Common questions before starting a denim development project.

What is the difference between OEM and ODM denim production?

OEM is best suited to brands that already have a clear tech pack, measurements and construction specifications. ODM is suitable when the brand has a product idea, reference garment or design direction but still needs support with fit, fabric, wash, construction and sample development.

Can we start denim development from a reference sample or design image?

Yes. A complete tech pack is helpful, but development can also begin from a reference garment, design image or clearly defined product brief. The available information is reviewed before deciding the most suitable development route.

What is the MOQ for custom denim development projects?

MOQ starts from 100 pcs per style. Final production requirements may depend on the selected fabric, wash, trims and construction details.

What should a brand prepare before starting a denim sample?

Useful information includes the product category, target fit, reference images or tech pack, fabric weight and composition, wash direction, construction details, branding requirements, target quantity and development timeline.

What should be confirmed before bulk denim production?

The sample stage should be used to review fit, visible construction, wash direction, trims and finishing details. Final specifications should be confirmed before grading and bulk cutting.

How is the denim development timeline determined?

The denim development timeline depends on the project requirements, including whether the brand provides a tech pack, fabrics and trims, or needs support with sourcing, fit development and product development. The timeline may vary depending on fabric availability, wash development, sample revisions and production preparation requirements. A development plan is reviewed after the project details are confirmed.
