A. We have an integrated manufacturing team based in China.
Pricing:
Q. What is the cost of a pattern / sample / bulk clothes manufacturing?
A. All pricing is based off the tech pack of each individual garment, so pricing is individual for every service we provide. Costing changes with the complexity of the garment and the number of garments being manufactured. Costing can also be affected by fabric type / weight, graphic applications, and shipping methods.
Sampling & Pattern Cutting:

Fabrics:
Q. What kind of materials have you got?
A. All our verified samples can be view on the fabrics page of our website. If you are looking for a fabric that you cannot see on the website, we can source different fabrics to suit your needs.
Bridge Brands:
Q. What is a bridge brand?
A. A ‘bridge brand’ is a clothing brand that ‘bridges’ the gap between value high street brands (Nike basics) and luxury brands (think Gucci). They are the brands in the middle (think Stussy, Palm Angels, Fear of God Essentials, Aries) they price a hoodie between £80-£400. These kinds of brands have the best success rates as they yield high profit levels with proportionately low investment. HookandeyeUK specialises in cut and sew clothing manufacture for bridge brands, our high quality level in design and manufacture perfectly match the levels needed for these brands! So that we can help all sizes of brands, we slot our smaller clothing brands in the gaps between our large brands so that everyone gets the same quality. We can also help with value clothing brands if thats what you’re looking for, see our Wholesale Design Session page for more info.
