Fabrics & techniques

What Runs at Low MOQs

Mainstream fabrics are the most efficient; artisan work comes through specialist workshops.

Relative cost

  • Rayon / viscose

    Drape and vivid colour; can shrink up to 5% unless pre-shrunk.

    Lowest

  • Cotton

    Voile or poplin; less shrinkage than rayon.

    Slightly more

  • Linen

    Premium texture; rare blends may take longer.

    Highest

  • Hand-block print

    Carved wooden blocks for an organic feel.

    Higher

  • Batik

    Stamped (cap) or hand-drawn (tulis) wax-resist.

    Higher

  • Embroidery

    Machine scales; hand work adds cost and time.

    Higher

Concept to container

How a Small Batch Runs

A structured sequence keeps small runs accurate.

  1. Tech pack & grading

    Flats, construction, BOM, colourways, artwork and a graded size chart.

  2. Proto sample

    Checks design, fit and construction against the tech pack.

    2–4 weeks

  3. Fit sample

    Refined on a model or mannequin from proto feedback.

    2–4 weeks

  4. Pre-production sample

    Real fabrics, trims and prints — the benchmark for bulk.

    2–4 weeks

  5. Small-batch production

    After sample approval and deposit; 100+ per style-colour may take 8–12 weeks.

    4–8 weeks

  6. Ship

    Air from Denpasar (DPS) or sea from Tanjung Benoa (BEN).

    Air 1–2 · sea 3–6 wks

Due diligence

Avoid the MOQ Traps

A “30-piece MOQ” can be a total minimum hiding 100 pieces per style-colour.

Ask every workshop

  • What is the minimum per style?
  • What is the minimum per colourway within a style?
  • Is there a total minimum quantity or value?
  • Can you run washing tests on my fabric and colours?
  • Will the agreement keep my designs as my IP?

Watch out for

  • Rayon shrinkage up to 5% and fading in dark dyes
  • Small-workshop sizing variance — set a tolerance, e.g. ±1 cm
  • Order a few extra pieces for minor imperfections
  • Holidays such as Eid al-Fitr, Nyepi and Christmas slow production
  • Unverified “eco” claims
