Your label, your designs, knit in Turkey. The full path from spec sheet to a sealed container — built for Nigerian boutiques, e-commerce labels and fashion brands, in plain English.
Private label means the knitwear carries your brand, made to your specification — your fits, your yarns, your colours, your woven label and packaging. You own the design and the customer relationship; we are the factory behind it. For a Nigerian brand that wants real, repeatable knitwear quality without owning machines, this is the route. And because we run the whole process in English, the back-and-forth that usually slows down overseas sourcing simply moves faster.
Six stages. Each one has a clear sign-off so nothing surprises you later:
Everything starts with the spec. A tech pack captures the garment: silhouette, measurements and grading, gauge, yarn composition, colours (with references), stitch and trim details, label and packaging. If you have a tech pack, we work from it. If you have sketches, a reference garment or just a clear idea, we help you build one. The better this document, the closer the first sample lands.
We review the tech pack for knittability, suggest the right machine and construction, quote, and knit your first samples. Samples go by air to Nigeria (Istanbul → Lagos) so you can see and feel the real garment, not a photo.
You review fit, hand-feel, colour and finish, and send comments. We revise and re-sample until you approve. Nothing goes into bulk until you have signed off a sealed reference sample — the physical standard the production run is measured against. This stage protects you more than any other.
You place the order with quantities per style, colour and size. We confirm the contract (in USD, given the Naira), source the bulk yarn, and knit a PP sample from the actual production yarn and setup. Approving the PP sample is the green light for the full run.
Bulk knitting, linking, washing, finishing and pressing. We QC in line and at final — measurements against the sealed sample, knit quality, colour consistency, labels and packing. You get production updates as the run moves.
We pack, prepare clean export and origin documents, and ship from Mersin to Lagos (typically ~10–14 days by sea). The documents are built to reconcile with your Form M so your licensed customs agent can clear cleanly through PAAR and NICIS II. See our Lagos logistics guide for the clearance detail.
Our minimum order is 250 pieces per style/colourway. That number reflects how flat-knit production economics actually work — setting up a machine for a colour and yarn has a real cost, and 250 is where a quality run becomes viable rather than a sample exercise.
For a Nigerian brand testing a new supplier, the smart move is a focused first order: pick one or two strong styles, a couple of colours each, and prove the relationship before you scale. You confirm the quality, the timeline, the clearance flow and the real landed cost on a contained order — then reorder your winners with confidence. We would rather you start lean and come back than over-commit on style one.
A signature knit line under your own label, made to a standard you can stand behind — without the volumes a commodity factory demands.
Consistent fit and quality across reorders so your size charts hold and returns stay low — the things online shoppers judge you on.
Seasonal drops and elevated pieces, including seamless WHOLEGARMENT and fully-fashioned flat-knit that local commodity supply rarely covers.
A reliable, documented knitwear source as a China+1 — quality and English communication where huge commodity volume is not the priority.
Sourcing problems are usually communication problems — a misread measurement, a colour described loosely, a comment lost in translation. Because Nigeria and our team both work in English, your tech pack notes, sample comments and production instructions land exactly as you wrote them. No translation layer, no guessing. For a category as detail-driven as knit, that clarity is a genuine edge — and one of the real reasons Nigerian brands find Turkey easy to work with.
A note on positioning: we are not here to undercut Nigeria's own textile heritage — we complement it, bringing flat-knit and seamless capability that sits alongside local strengths. And we will not pretend to beat China on huge-volume commodity pricing. Where we win is quality, reliability and clear English collaboration on the kind of knit that defines a brand.
Send us your tech pack, sketches or reference garment and the styles you want to launch. We'll review knittability, quote, and walk you through samples to a sealed reference — the honest first step to a private label line made in Turkey.
