MOQ per style; bulk from the approved sample; sampling 2–4 weeks on top. Specialisms, not a quality ranking: good factories exist outside their province’s specialism, and starting in the right cluster shortens the search.
Cities
The two cities the live site names in Jiangsu. The province line is what we can stand behind; we don’t tie a product to one city here.
City 01 · Jiangsu
Part of Jiangsu’s base for sweaters, knitwear and tailoring.
What we place in Jiangsu
Good to knowNext to Shanghai, in the Yangtze River Delta.
When to pick another cluster
Jiangsu skews to larger and more technical runs. If yours is small, trend-led or fabric-led, one of these usually fits better.
If you want a small, trend-led first run
Guangdong suits small to mid orders and the fastest sampling, with fabric markets within driving distance of the factories.
Guangdong clusterIf the fabric is the product
Zhejiang leads on fabric, yarn, synthetic fiber and silk, with woven shirting and fabric mills around Shaoxing.
Zhejiang clusterIf it is sportswear or performance apparel
Fujian, around Quanzhou and Jinjiang, is the sportswear cluster, and more interesting at volume.
Fujian clusterIf it is not clothing
We place apparel only: no footwear, bags or hard goods, and no fast-fashion drop-ship.
Chinese New Year applies everywhere: factories close for roughly 2–4 weeks in late January or February, and output drops before the break.
How the money moves
The usual China horror story starts with 100% paid up front. Ours ends with a third-party inspector checking the finished order before the 70% leaves your account.

Sweaters, knitwear and tailoring: structured garments and wool knitting. It also skews to larger-volume, more technical production. Specialisms, not a quality ranking.
Yes, from 100 pieces per style for knitwear and 150 for tailoring and outerwear. Because Jiangsu skews to larger runs, we check which factory takes your quantity; for a small trend-led run, Guangdong is often faster.
Suzhou and Nanjing. We choose the factory for your product and quantity, not the city.
Sampling takes 2–4 weeks. Bulk takes 6–8 weeks for knitwear and 9–11 weeks for tailoring and outerwear, from the approved sample. Yarn-dyed knitwear can need more; ask with your colors. Plan around Chinese New Year.
The factory quotes you and bills you directly. A 30% deposit starts bulk, and the 70% balance is paid only after a third-party inspection of the finished goods. Our fee, if any, is quoted in writing before any work starts.

Every order we place in Jiangsu follows the same steps: sample, 30% deposit, bulk, a third-party inspection, then the 70% balance.
