Who we are

Why US buyers move sourcing to India

For a decade the default answer to "where do we make our blanks" was China. Tariff exposure, concentration risk and rising unit costs have made that answer a lot less comfortable, and India is where a large share of US cotton knitwear sourcing has moved.

Tirupur specifically is the part of India that does cotton knits. The yarn, the dyehouses, the accessory suppliers and the finishing units are all within a few kilometres of each other, which is why lead times here hold up better than in clusters where every input has to travel.

What we add is that we own the process rather than brokering it. Your fabric is knitted here to the GSM your tech pack calls for, shade-matched in our lab, cut on our tables and stitched on our lines.

What happens in our unit

Yarn to sealed carton, without leaving the building

Knitting & Fabric

Single jersey, pique, interlock, rib, French terry and fleece knitted to the GSM your style needs — so fabric quality is decided by us, not by whoever the market has stock from that week.

Dyeing & Processing

Reactive dyeing, bio-wash, enzyme wash, compacting and pre-shrinking. Lab-dipped shade matching against your Pantone or physical swatch before bulk goes ahead.

Cutting & Stitching

Pattern making, grading, marker planning and bulk cutting, with dedicated stitching lines for knits. Side-seam or tubular, flatlock or overlock, to your construction spec.

Printing & Embroidery

Screen, DTG, DTF, sublimation, puff, high-density and discharge printing, plus computerised embroidery. Wash-tested before bulk print runs.

Quality Control

Inline checks at cutting and stitching, plus a final AQL inspection before packing. Third-party inspection agencies are welcome in our unit at any stage.

Packing & Export

Retail-ready polybagging, barcode and carton marking, and full export documentation. FOB, CIF and DDP terms handled with our freight partners.

Logistics

Getting goods to the United States

We ship from Tuticorin, Chennai and Cochin to every major US gateway. Most of our US buyers run FOB and use their own forwarder; we can also quote DDP to your door through our freight partners if you would rather hand the whole leg to us.

West Coast

Los Angeles and Long Beach, typically 30–38 days port to port depending on routing and transhipment.

East Coast

New York/New Jersey, Savannah, Charleston and Norfolk, typically 28–35 days via Suez.

Customs & duty

Cotton knitwear from India enters under HTS Chapter 61. We prepare the commercial invoice, packing list and certificate of origin your customs broker needs — confirm current duty rates with your broker before you cost a programme.

Compliance

US compliance, handled at the factory

Nothing slows a shipment down like labelling that does not meet US requirements. We apply it here rather than leaving you to relabel in the warehouse.

  • FTC-compliant fibre content, country of origin and RN-number labelling
  • Care labels written to 16 CFR Part 423 care symbol requirements
  • CPSIA-conscious construction on children's wear — no neck drawcords, minimal hard trims, tracking label information available
  • Third-party lab testing (lead, phthalates, flammability) arranged on request
  • AQL 2.5 final inspection standard; SGS, BV and Intertek welcome in the unit
Fabric guide

Jersey, interlock or rib — which knit is right for your order?

A short side-by-side of the three knit structures we produce most: how each one feels, how it holds shape, and what it costs you in drape and durability. Two minutes, and it will save a round of sampling.

Questions

Before you send an enquiry

How does the tariff situation affect sourcing from India?

US duty rates on apparel change with trade policy, and we are not the right people to advise you on your landed cost — your customs broker is. What we can tell you is that our goods ship with a full set of origin documentation so your broker has what they need to classify correctly.

What are your payment terms for US buyers?

For a first order we typically work on 30% advance with the balance against a copy of the bill of lading, or on an irrevocable letter of credit at sight. Established buyers move to more open terms over time.

Can you hold stock for replenishment?

For repeat programmes we can hold greige fabric or finished blanks against a forecast, which cuts replenishment lead time considerably. This is arranged case by case.

What is your minimum order quantity?

Our standard MOQ is 300 pieces per style per colour for stock fabrics, and 500 pieces per colour where the fabric has to be dyed to a custom shade. For a first trial order we can be flexible — talk to us about what you actually need rather than assuming the number is fixed.

Can I get a sample before placing a bulk order?

Yes. We produce a pre-production sample against your tech pack or a reference garment, typically within 7–10 working days. Sampling is charged, and the cost is credited against your bulk order once it is confirmed.

Do you make garments under my own brand?

Most of our export volume is private label. Woven or printed neck labels, market-specific care labels, hang tags, polybags and barcodes are applied in our factory, so goods arrive retail-ready.

How do you handle quality control?

We run inline checks at cutting and stitching stages and a final AQL inspection before packing. You are welcome to appoint a third-party inspection agency — SGS, Bureau Veritas, Intertek or your own QA team — and we will give them access to the unit at any production stage.

Tell us what you want made

Send a tech pack, a reference garment, or just a photo and a quantity. We come back with a quote and an honest lead time — usually within one working day.
