What is Your Minimum Order?
The Space is committed to empowering independent fashion designers. As a leading low-MOQ clothing manufacturer, we offer full-service cut-and-sew manufacturing with no minimum order requirements. Our state-of-the-art facilities and expert craftsmanship ensure that your brand receives custom production services executed to perfection.
How Much Will Production Cost?
Production costs at The Space are determined through a thorough review process by our production floor manager and production manager. Pricing is calculated based on labor time and presented as per-piece rates, along with any associated fees. Once agreed upon, prices remain fixed unless a design modification is requested by the client.
Our detailed Costing Report provides pricing at three volume levels (10-50, 50-100, and 100-300 pieces) and includes all pre-production and related fees. Please note that a physical sample and pattern are required for accurate costing, and this process typically takes about one workweek. However, if you proceed with production, the sample cost will be deducted from your production fees, meaning you won’t be charged for it.
Production costing covers:
- Pre-production expenses
- Digitizing, grading, and marking
- Cutting
- Finishing
- Additional services
- Project management
Given the unique nature of each project, the complexity and customization of the apparel will dictate the required labor hours. After finalizing your samples, we can provide a precise production cost assessment.
What Are Your Payment Terms?
At The Space, full payment is required for pre-production services, while production fees are divided into two payments: a 50% deposit upon signing the contract and the remaining 50% upon delivery. If you already have a ready sample that you want to replicate exactly, we can provide pricing directly, and if you wish, proceed to production immediately.
Our package prices are designed for standard designs, with an estimated 4-5 hours of work per pattern and sample. For specialized designs like bridal or eveningwear, expect approximately 8-10 hours per pattern and sample. All payments are due upon contract signing, and work is completed according to the agreed-upon schedule.
What Are Your Turnaround Times?
The Space offers turnaround times of 4-8 weeks for Studio Level Production contracts, with expedited delivery available in 1-4 weeks for an additional fee.
Development packages follow an 8-week timeline starting from the agreed-upon date. This schedule depends on the receipt of all designs, fabrics, and trims from the client, as well as The Space’s current workload at the time of contracting.
Do You Provide Sourcing Services?
Yes, The Space offers a variety of sourcing services to help you find the perfect fabrics and trims for your project. You can collaborate with our dedicated Sourcing Manager for a consultation, which includes a customized source list for your collection. Alternatively, our full-service sourcing option provides end-to-end assistance for each style.
