Our standard MOQ is 300 pieces per style and colour. For new brand partners we start from 100 pieces per style and colour, depending on yarn, gauge and finishing.
Which vest styles do you produce?

Can vests be made in the same yarn as my sweaters?
Yes. Vests are often developed alongside sweaters and cardigans in the same yarn and colour range, so a collection can be sampled and produced together.
