How do small brands handle clothing production?

submitted 2 weeks ago by RosieRichardson to post

I’m curious about how small clothing brands manage production when they don’t have a huge budget. Ordering large quantities seems risky when a brand is still testing its products. I noticed the apparel partner while researching possible manufacturing options for smaller brands. How do startups usually handle MOQs and production costs? Is starting with fewer designs or smaller quantities a better approach? I’d appreciate hearing from anyone who has launched a collection and found a practical way to manage early production.
