Cut and Sew Manufacturers, Managed Across a Global Factory Network
MakeMine is a managed cut and sew manufacturing partner for scaling consumer brands. We run production across vetted factories in China, Vietnam, South Korea, Honduras, and Peru. Every factory partner holds WRAP or BSCI certifications, and we manage everything from fabric sourcing through shipping. Samples take 20-30 days, production 40-60 days, and every quote includes visibility into duties.
Let's TalkOne network. Five countries. One point of contact.
Vetted cut and sew factories across five regions, matched to what they do best: technical styles in Dongguan, high-volume wovens in Honduras, knits in Peru, premium construction in South Korea, and big-box production in Vietnam.

Why brands choose MakeMine over cut and sew contractors and sourcing agents
You know who's making your product
Finding cut and sew contractors and suppliers shouldn't feel like playing roulette. We vet every factory in person, require WRAP or BSCI certification at minimum, then advocate for your brand with your chosen manufacturer at every step.
Clear costing, before you commit
Most cut and sew manufacturers and sourcing agents quote a single number and hide the rest. Every MakeMine quote breaks out sample fees, FOB cost, shipping and duties, lead times, and payment terms. No surprises at invoice.
Low-minimum runs. Scale when you're ready.
MOQs start at 100 units per colorway in China, depending on category and factory. Test a style with a small batch cut and sew run, then scale to retail volumes with the same factory. No capacity ceiling, no re-sourcing.
Our volume works in your favor
Traditional agents mark up 50-60%. Because we represent many brands across a select network, we're able to negotiate pricing and pass along volume discounts with minimal markups. Our platform automates the overhead that agents bill you for.
One point of contact. No back-and-forth.
Time zones and translation are our problem, not yours. Our team manages all factory communication, production schedules, fabric sourcing, and issues on your behalf. You get one thread, in your time zone, in plain English.
Catch problems before production
Quality control starts during development, not at final inspection. We establish a production-ready benchmark sample, track every approval, and run third-party inspections with the same agencies used by major retailers.

Frequently asked questions
Still got questions?
What is cut and sew manufacturing?
Cut and sew manufacturing builds your garment from scratch. Fabric is sourced to your spec, cut to your patterns, and sewn to your construction standards. Unlike private label or blanks, you control every element — fit, fabric, trims, and finish. It's how brands move from decorated blanks to a real product line.
Where are your cut and sew manufacturers?
Our manufacturing partners are located in China, Honduras, Peru, South Korea, and Vietnam.
What are your minimum order quantities?
MOQs are defined at a per colorway basis, varying by category and factory. MOQs in China can go as low as 100 units per colorway, depending on the total size of your PO. That's low enough to test a new style without committing to a container, with capacity to scale into the thousands per style when it sells. For locations outside of China, our MOQs are much higher along with proof of regular production runs.
Do you offer small batch or low minimum cut and sew production?
Yes. Our factory partners in China accept low-minimum first runs so you can validate a style before scaling. Factors such as complexity of styles, total size of your PO, and number of years in business can impact your MOQs.
What are your lead times (sample and production)?
Typically 20-30 days for samples and 40-60 days for production. Lead times vary based on factors such as product category, factory location, and locally sourced vs imported materials.
Do I communicate with the factories or do you take care of it?
We handle all factory communication so you can focus on growing your business. Our factories are not hidden - our customers know the name of their manufacturer, but we manage the communication, giving the factory one single point of contact (MakeMine) for multiple brands.
How does MakeMine vet factories?
Our industry veterans meet with all of our apparel manufacturers in person. We require BSCI or WRAP certifications at a minimum, and we perform inspections and audits with the same third-party inspection agencies used by leading brands and retailers.
How much does cut and sew manufacturing cost?
It depends on garment complexity, fabric, and volume. Because we negotiate pricing across a large number of brands, our rates typically beat what a single brand gets going factory-direct. Every quote itemizes FOB, sample fees, freight, and duties so you see landed cost before committing.
Who and how do we pay?
You pay MakeMine, a US account, through ACH or wire transfer, so you never have to make international wires. We handle payments throughout the entire process - fabric sourcing, sampling, production, inspections, shipping, and customs. Credit cards are accepted for certain transactions.
