Frequently asked questions.
Answers to the questions brands ask us most often – minimum order quantity, product categories, samples, lead times, payment terms, and how we protect your work.
We work with production quantities tailored to the product, fabric, trims and manufacturing requirements.
From straightforward core styles to more complex garments requiring specialised construction or additional development, we help identify a realistic production quantity for each project.
MOQ is discussed case by case — based on your product and production requirements.
This feels more credible for an international B2B audience and avoids creating a promise that every factory in your network can meet.
A good next section after this would be “How We Match the Right Factory”, explaining how product complexity, quantity and construction determine the manufacturing partner.
VIVE Sourcing specializes in circular knit and knitwear, supporting international menswear and womenswear brands across a focused range of constructions, fabrics and finishing techniques. Our expertise includes jersey, French Terry, fleece, fully-fashioned and flat knitwear, garment-dyed programs, and knit-based cut-and-sew garments. Through our established manufacturing network, we match each product with the right production capabilities, technical expertise and quality requirements, ensuring a focused and efficient sourcing process from development through production.
Our current specialization is focused on knit and jersey categories, rather than woven garments, technical activewear or outerwear. This focused approach allows us to build deeper product knowledge and stronger manufacturing relationships within the categories we serve.
