Clothing manufacturer Amsterdam

Is there a clothing factory in Amsterdam?
Amsterdam is full of new streetwear and fashion brands, from Daily Paper to Filling Pieces. A serious clothing factory, though, is something you'll hardly find in the city any more. With big brands, 'Made in Amsterdam' almost always means: designed in Amsterdam, made in Europe or Asia.
We work the same way, and we simply say so. Your design and your brand stay here; we produce in Turkey, Italy, Portugal and China, most productions in our own workshop in Turkey. This is how clothing production works with us: one fixed point of contact, in Dutch, and a sample you see and feel first before the bulk starts.
Considering production in China or the Netherlands yourself? Then look beyond the unit price: the minimum, the lead time and the import costs count too.
How much does it cost to have clothing made in Amsterdam?
The same as outside the city: in custom clothing production, your price depends on product, fabric, run size and branding, not on your postcode. Send your specs and you get a quote within 1 working day. A few fixed prices, excluding VAT:
- A T-shirt €29.99 per piece from 10 pieces, with print and printed neck label.
- A hoodie €39.99 per piece from 10 pieces, with print and printed neck label.
- A sample from €150, depending on the style.
Which clothing manufacturer suits an Amsterdam brand?
Drops instead of seasons
The Amsterdam scene works in drops: small collections you launch in one go. We work along with that, in small batches instead of eighteen-month seasons.
One fixed point of contact
From first message to delivery, you speak to the same person, in Dutch.
No middleman
No agent and no trader: your request goes straight to our own workshop.

Frequently asked questions about having clothing made in Amsterdam
Can we meet in person in Amsterdam?
We mainly work digitally: you do your briefing via WhatsApp or email, and we send your sample to you. We only schedule a meeting when it's really necessary, within an ongoing project.
Can students in Amsterdam have clothing made?
Yes. With a minimum of 10 pieces per style, a small series stays affordable, even for a graduation collection or a brand that's just starting.
How quickly can I have merch for an Amsterdam festival?
Allow at least 5 to 6 weeks for the sample and then at least 5 to 6 weeks of production, each after payment, depending on style, country and run size, provided your tech pack is ready on time. For an annual festival, we start 3 to 4 months before the event.
