Supplying North America
North America is an online-led market. A large share of modest fashion there is sold direct — through a brand's own store, through Instagram, through pop-up events at conferences and community gatherings — rather than through a traditional wholesale chain. That changes what a buyer needs from a manufacturer.
It usually means smaller, more frequent orders rather than one large seasonal buy, and it means the brand carries its own photography and its own audience. Eight pieces per design suits that rhythm: a brand can test a design, sell through, and reorder, instead of tying up capital in stock it has not yet proven.
Climate range is the other thing that separates North American orders from most. The same brand may be selling into Texas summers and Minnesota winters, which is a wider spread than most European buyers face. Buyers who sell nationally often carry one design in two fabric weights rather than two designs.
Import duties and taxes are the buyer's to settle, and both the United States and Canada have their own thresholds and classifications. We do not quote rates. Each country page links to the official customs authority, and we will quote you a landed cost for your order.
One practical note on working across the Atlantic: the time difference sounds like a problem and almost never is. Orders here are agreed over messages rather than calls — you send a design overnight, we reply during your morning, and the whole conversation takes place at whatever hour suits each end. Buyers who expect to lose days to scheduling are usually surprised by how little of it matters.
