Pure OEM flat-knit, made in Turkey for South African brands and Southern-Africa distributors: your designs, to your spec, under your own label — a premium quality play, SABS-compliant labelling applied for you.
OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) means you own the design and we manufacture it exactly to your specification. You send the tech pack; we source the yarn, knit, finish, label and ship it as your product. We make your collection — never our own brand against you, and never with hidden subcontracting. Pure OEM, founder-direct.
For brands with a point of view, OEM gives the most control: your construction, your yarn, your fit, your label, your intellectual property. Here's exactly how it works with us, end to end.
South Africa applies a high MFN import duty on knitwear (HS 61, roughly 40–45% — confirm the current rate at import). We're not a low-cost 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 SABS-compliant labelling to spec — origin, fibre, care — so goods clear cleanly.
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.
Within 48 hours we confirm feasibility, flag anything missing, suggest yarn options and give indicative pricing.
We source the right fibre and count from certified suppliers and return an itemised quote on your chosen Incoterm (FOB or DDP).
Your design knitted for the first time — typically in 10–14 days (approx. R1,500–3,400) — to confirm look, construction, gauge and stitch.
We iterate to your fit and measurement comments over a round or two — see the sampling process.
A sample in the actual bulk yarn, with final labels and trims — the reference you sign off before production.
Production in 45–60 days with in-line quality control, plus a TOP sample checked against your approved PP.
Final inspection, your labels and packaging applied, and worldwide export from Gaziantep.
22 flat-knit machines — Shima Seiki WHOLEGARMENT (seamless) and Stoll CMS, gauge 3–14gg.
Intarsia, jacquard, cable, rib, pointelle, fully-fashioned and seamless knit-to-shape.
Jerseys, cardigans, pullovers, vests, dresses — plus an extended knit range via our transparent partner network.
Merino, cashmere, alpaca, cotton, blends — certified (OEKO-TEX / GOTS / GRS) on request.
MOQ: 250 pcs per colour/size. Samples: 10–14 days, approx. R1,500–3,400 depending on complexity. Bulk: 45–60 days after approval, priced per order in ZAR or USD. Pricing: itemised and transparent on your chosen Incoterm (FOB or DDP) — no opaque single numbers. Read what drives unit cost and why 250 is the sweet spot.
In-house linking, finishing and AQL-based QC, anchored by a TOP sample checked against your approved PP. We source certified yarns and provide REACH / CPSIA / GPSR documentation, with third-party testing arranged where your market requires it.
We make your designs, never our own brand against you — and never with hidden subcontracting.

A 250 MOQ and real sampling support — OEM that fits emerging and mid-sized labels, not just volume buyers.
