Why New York brands manufacture in Bangladesh

New York is one of the best places in the world to design and sell clothing — and one of the most expensive places to cut and sew it. A blank tee cut and sewn in the NYC garment district often lands at $9–$18 per unit before margin, while Brandex produces comparable private-label garments at $2–$8 per unit. Most domestic factories that take startups want 300–500 pieces per colour, whereas Brandex starts at 50 pieces per style/colour, so you can launch three colourways for the commitment a local shop wants for one.

  • Per-unit gap of $2–$8 vs $9–$18+ locally turns a break-even SKU into a healthy margin
  • MOQ from 50 per style/colour lets you test the market without burying cash in inventory
  • DDP shipping to the Port of New York/Newark or by air to NYC gives a landed cost with no surprise CBP or broker invoice

New York local vs China vs Bangladesh — compared

Every sourcing route has tradeoffs. Local New York wins on speed and in-person sampling but carries 100–500/colour minimums and $9–$18+ per-unit pricing. China is competitive at higher volumes ($3–$7/unit) but its 500–1,000+ minimums lock out most launching brands. Bangladesh (Brandex) is the sensible pick when you want low minimums, strong per-unit pricing, and a landed DDP cost — accepting a longer lead time as the tradeoff, which mostly disappears if you plan one production cycle ahead.

  • MOQ: 100–500/colour local, 500–1,000+ China, 50/style/colour Brandex
  • Price/unit: $9–$18+ local, $3–$7 China, $2–$8 Brandex
  • Sampling: fast in-person but costlier local, ~1–2 weeks China, ~7 days Brandex with DDP to New York included

How it works, from tech pack to delivered inventory

The path from idea to delivered inventory is straightforward and built around approving a physical sample before committing to bulk. You send your tech pack (or a reference garment and specs — we help build the tech pack if you don't have one), get a sample in about 7 days to check fit, fabric, and construction in your hands, then approve it or request revisions. Bulk production runs from MOQ 50 per style/colour, every order gets a QC inspection before it ships, and finished goods arrive DDP to New York with nothing more to pay at the border.

  • Send a tech pack or reference garment; sample ready in about 7 days
  • Approve the sample, then bulk production from MOQ 50 per style/colour with QC before shipment
  • Approved sample and fabric specs stay on file as the reference standard so reorders match the first run

What you can make and fabric options

Brandex is apparel-focused and produces private-label basics and elevated staples — the backbone of most NYC DTC and streetwear lines. You're not limited to a house blank: combed ring-spun cotton, cotton/poly blends, heavyweight 220–260 GSM constructions for premium tees, French terry and fleece for hoodies, and performance knits for activewear are all on the table. Choosing the right weight and construction up front is what makes a garment feel like a $40 piece instead of a $12 one.

  • T-shirts (including premium heavyweight blanks), polos, hoodies, sweatshirts, and crewnecks
  • Activewear, joggers, and leggings for your own labelling and branding
  • Fabric range from combed ring-spun cotton to 220–260 GSM heavyweight, French terry, fleece, and performance knits

Buyer Questions This Page Answers

  • How long does DDP shipping to New York take, and are duties included? Air freight to New York typically runs a few days to about a week once goods are ready; sea freight to the Port of New York/Newark takes several weeks but costs less per unit. Because shipping is DDP (Delivered Duty Paid), the quote already includes freight, customs clearance, and import duties — there's no separate CBP or broker bill when your order lands.
  • What's the minimum order — is the MOQ per colour or per style? The MOQ is 50 pieces per style/colour. So a single design in three colours is a 150-piece order (50 each). This lets New York brands launch multiple colourways while keeping each individual commitment small.
  • How much does a sample cost and how fast can I get one? Samples are typically ready in about 7 days. There's usually a modest sample and shipping charge that covers materials and courier to New York; it's small relative to a full production run and it's the cheapest insurance you can buy against a bulk mistake.
  • What are the payment terms? Standard terms are a deposit to start production with the balance before shipment. Exact terms are confirmed on your quote — we'll lay them out clearly before you commit, with no hidden fees since DDP already bundles freight and duties.
  • What fabrics can I choose from? Combed ring-spun cotton, cotton/poly blends, heavyweight cotton (220–260 GSM) for premium blanks, French terry and fleece for hoodies and sweatshirts, and performance knits for activewear. Match weight and construction to your product and price point.
  • Can Brandex match the quality of premium NYC blanks? Yes — that's the core of the business. Choosing a heavyweight construction and approving a sample against it gives you a garment that competes with premium garment-district blanks at a fraction of the landed cost. Your approved sample becomes the reference standard for consistency on every reorder.
  • Do you make caps, bags, or accessories to go with my apparel line? No — Brandex is apparel only: t-shirts, polos, hoodies, sweatshirts, activewear, joggers, leggings, and private-label basics. We focus on doing knit and fleece garments well rather than spreading across product categories.
