Private label means your collection, made in our factory and shipped ready to retail under your brand — your woven label, your packaging. You keep the design and the brand; we handle the knitting, finishing, labelling and compliance. No middlemen between you and the machines: you talk directly to the founder who runs the floor.

It's OEM under the hood — your designs, produced to spec — finished and labelled as your product. (New to the terms? See OEM vs ODM vs private label.)

Built for Tanzanian Brands

01

Honest on Duty — No China Tariff Edge

There is no Türkiye–Tanzania free-trade agreement, so finished knitwear enters at the EAC common external tariff (25% on most apparel). China has no FTA either, so we carry no customs advantage over Chinese goods — we compete on quality, not duty. Confirm the specific HS-61 line with TRA at import.

02

TBS-Ready Labelling & Conformity

Country-of-origin labelling, fibre content and care labelling prepared for Tanzania Bureau of Standards (TBS) conformity and TRA customs clearance — applied in-house so your goods clear cleanly.

03

China+1 Quality Alternative

A genuine China+1 partner: in-house Shima Seiki WHOLEGARMENT, founder-direct contact and enforceable NDAs — clean single-site Gaziantep sourcing, with English the working language end to end.

04

Planned Shipping to Dar es Salaam

Sea freight from Mersin to Dar es Salaam in ~20–28 days (typically transshipping via a hub port). A longer route we offset with planning and lead-time reliability — FOB or DDP, priced in USD with LC terms available.

Private Label FAQ

What's the difference between private label and OEM?

Private label describes the outcome — a garment sold under your brand, retail-ready. OEM describes the method — we produce your design to spec. In practice they overlap: private label is usually OEM under the hood.

Can I use my own designs?

Yes — you provide the design and tech pack and we produce it under your label. We make your collection, never our own brand against you.

What is the minimum order quantity?

250 pieces per colour/size — low enough for emerging and mid-sized brands to launch without dead stock.

Do you apply my brand and care labels?

Yes — your woven brand label, care label, size label and packaging are applied in-house so goods ship retail-ready.

How long does production take?

First samples in 10–14 days; bulk production 45–60 days after pre-production approval.

Do you sign NDAs?

Yes — enforceable NDAs; your designs and brand remain yours.
