Turkish clothing manufacturers are known for flexible minimums compared with long-haul sourcing, which makes Turkey popular with both established retailers and growing brands. MOQs vary by fabric, style complexity, and whether you order per style or per colour.
What drives MOQ?
Minimums are shaped by fabric (custom-knitted or -dyed fabric usually carries its own minimum), colour (dye lots set a floor per colourway), and construction (complex styles need more setup). Ordering fewer colours and using in-stock fabrics lowers the effective minimum.
Per-style vs per-colour minimums
Many factories quote a minimum per style and a smaller minimum per colour within that style. Consolidating your range into fewer styles and colours helps you meet minimums efficiently.
Tips for small brands
- Use the factory's existing (stock) fabrics to avoid fabric minimums.
- Limit colourways per style.
- Group multiple styles with one supplier to reach a workable total.
- Be clear about growth plans — factories invest in brands they expect to reorder.
Pricing follows volume
Unit price generally decreases with quantity as setup costs are spread across more pieces. Ask each supplier for a small price break table (e.g., at rising quantity tiers) so you can plan margins.
