We knit it; you sell it under your own label. A founder-led flat-knit factory in Turkey producing private label jerseys, cardigans and WHOLEGARMENT for South African brands and Southern-Africa distributors — your designs, your woven label, SABS-compliant, retail-ready.
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.)
South Africa applies a high MFN import duty on knitwear (HS 61, roughly 40–45% — confirm the current rate at import). This is a quality play: WHOLEGARMENT seamless, fully-fashioned, founder-direct, China+1 quality and IP for buyers who absorb the duty.
Clear at Durban and re-distribute across the SACU customs union — Namibia, Botswana, Lesotho and Eswatini move duty-free within SACU — plus the wider SADC region. Built for SA brands and regional distributors alike.
A permanent country-of-origin label, fibre content and care instructions are compulsory and enforced in South Africa. We apply your woven brand label plus SABS-compliant origin, fibre and care labels to spec.
Ocean to Durban (the busiest port in sub-Saharan Africa) or Cape Town in ~26–40 days — FOB or DDP, priced in ZAR or USD. Durban doubles as your regional distribution gateway.
250 pieces per colour and per size, each knitted as its own fully-fashioned programme. A real production run built for growing brands.
Pure OEM under the hood: your tech pack, your woven label, your packaging. We make your collection.
One contact — the founder on the floor since 2010. No agencies, no sales layer, no hidden markup.
Supplier-certified yarns (OEKO-TEX/GOTS/GRS) and REACH/CPSIA/GPSR documentation for retail.

In-house flat-knit on Shima Seiki WHOLEGARMENT and Stoll CMS (3–14gg): jerseys, cardigans, pullovers, vests, dresses — intarsia, jacquard, cable, rib and seamless knit-to-shape. An extended knit range (jersey-fabric tees, loungewear) is available through our transparent partner network.
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.
