Understand what a minimum order actually covers before dividing your first yoga-wear order into styles, colours and sizes.
A low minimum order quantity is helpful only when its conditions match your launch. A quoted minimum may apply to a style, a colour, a fabric, or an entire order. A matching bra and leggings set may count as two garments rather than one unit. Ask the supplier to write down the counting rule before calculating your budget. Viva Gymwear lists a 100-piece MOQ; confirm the applicable style, colour, size and customisation conditions in your quotation.
List each garment, fabric, colour, size range and quantity in a simple spreadsheet. For example, a hypothetical 100-legging order split across two colours and five sizes creates ten stock-keeping units. An equal split would put only ten pieces into each variant. This is a planning example, not confirmation that a supplier permits that split. Too many options make demand harder to read and can leave popular sizes unavailable while slow sizes remain.
Custom dyeing, a new fabric development, specialist trims and a new seamless knit programme can introduce minimums beyond garment assembly. Existing patterns and available fabrics may offer a simpler starting point, but availability must be checked. Do not assume that adding a logo, care label and custom bag has no minimum or setup charge. Compare a ready-style private-label quotation with a fully developed design on the same basis.
Reserve funds for samples, revisions, labels, inspection, transport and import costs, as well as launch marketing. A low garment price is not the same as a low total investment. Approve a production-intent sample and record the specifications before paying for the full order. Discuss defect handling and reordering conditions in writing rather than relying on a chat promise.
Send the supplier your intended market, target selling price, style references, material preferences and order matrix. Request a written explanation of MOQ, price inclusions, sample costs, lead-time milestones and shipping terms. Then reduce optional colours or design details if they prevent a manageable test. Measure sell-through and size-related feedback after launch before expanding the range.
Sometimes, but this is a quotation condition, not a universal rule. Confirm whether the minimum applies per size, colour or style.
Choose a manageable quantity with acceptable sample quality and clear total costs. A smaller minimum does not replace supplier checks.
Send your styles, intended market, size range, colour choices, target quantity and delivery requirements. Ask us to confirm the applicable MOQ, sampling scope and quotation for your project.
