Our QA Philosophy

Quality is built in.
Not Inspected In

We reject the idea of quality inspection as a final gate. Instead, we embed quality control throughout every stage of production—catching and correcting issues when it costs time, not money.

Our QA team follows a five-stage assurance model that combines human expertise with documented protocols, third-party lab testing, and photographic evidence at every checkpoint.

  • 1

    Pre-Production Review A tech pack audit, approved trim card, lab dip, and strike-off sign-off before cutting begins.
  • 2

    Cutting & Fabric Inspection Fabric shrinkage, color consistency, and cut panel inspection against the approved standard.
  • 3

    Inline Production Check In-process quality checks at 20%, 50%, and 80% production completion milestones.
  • 4

    Final Random Inspection AQL 2.5 sampling inspection against measurement spec, workmanship, and packing requirement.
  • 1

    Lab Testing & Certification Chemical, physical, and performance testing through SGS, Bureau Veritas, or buyer-approved lab.

FAQ

Common Questions from Buyers

We have answered the questions we hear most often from brands beginning their sourcing journey with us. If yours isn’t here, reach out directly.

What is your minimum order quantity?

Our minimum order quantity varies by product category and factory. For most knitwear and woven categories, MOQs start from 500 units per style per colour. For complex outerwear or technical garments, MOQs may be higher. We always discuss MOQ requirements during the initial discovery call and work to match you with factories that fit your scale.

We cover the full breadth of Bangladesh’s manufacturing capability: knitwear, woven tops, denim, outerwear, swimwear, activewear, underwear, lingerie, children’s wear, and accessories including hats, bags, and soft accessories. Bangladesh is particularly competitive in knitwear and fast-fashion woven—and increasingly strong in sustainable and technical categories.

Every factory in our network undergoes a social compliance audit before onboarding—conducted against BSCI, SMETA, or a buyer-specific code of conduct. Factories are re-audited annually and must meet corrective action timelines for any non-conformances. We do not work with factories that have unresolved critical findings, and we maintain a zero-tolerance policy on child labor and forced labor.

Yes — we operate a dedicated sustainable sourcing pathway for buyers with green mandates. We can source GOTS-certified organic cotton, GRS-certified recycled polyester and nylon, OEKO-TEX 100 certified fabrics, and Bluesign-approved materials. We also support Higg Index MSI scoring and can provide material-level sustainability data for your reporting requirements.

Standard production lead time from order placement to ex-factory shipment is 75–90 days for woven categories and 60–75 days for knitwear. Development lead times (proto to pre-production sample approval) typically add 6–10 weeks before bulk order placement. We can work with faster timelines in some categories—discuss your schedule during the discovery call, and we will advise accurately.

We offer both. Full Package (FPP) means we manage fabric, trim, and accessory sourcing on your behalf—faster and simpler for buyers new to Bangladesh. CMT (Cut, Make, Trim) arrangements are available for buyers who prefer to control their own fabric sourcing or use nominated mills. We adapt to your existing sourcing infrastructure.

We regularly export to 40+ countries across the USA, EU (Germany, France, Netherlands, Sweden, Spain, Italy), UK, Canada, Australia, Japan, South Korea, and the Middle East. We have established relationships with freight forwarders and customs brokers in all major destination markets and manage GSP and EBA preference documentation for eligible shipments.
