Rental fashion doesn’t work on retail rules—and neither do we.
From first sketch to final shipment, we partner with rental brands to design, test, and deliver garments that meet high-turnover demands with long-lasting quality.
As a factory experienced in the circular economy, we know rental requires more than manufacturing. It requires systems. Here’s how we support rental brands every step of the way.
Collaborative Design Process Tailored for Rentals
Rental garments start with smarter designs—not just better fabric.
We work side-by-side with brands to turn trend concepts into rental-ready silhouettes, optimized for performance, comfort, and reusability.
What makes our design process different?
We begin with rental-specific questions:
- Will this style survive 15+ washes?
- Are the trims child-safe and machine-safe?
- Can we reinforce this detail without losing style?
- Is it repair-friendly or recyclable?
We co-create:
- Moodboards and capsule plans
- Simplified silhouettes (fewer weak points)
- Print placements that don’t fade or crack
| Design Phase | Rental-Focused Practice |
|---|---|
| Sketching | Built around known fabric behaviors |
| Tech packs | Include stress point indicators |
| Fittings | Prioritize comfort and movement |
| Sample feedback | Based on lab + wear test results |
What’s the benefit for brands?
Fewer production revisions. Faster approvals. Higher quality from the start. And garments designed not just to look good—but to last.
Prototyping Garments Built for Long-Term Use
Before you scale, you need proof. And rental garments must pass tests retail never sees.
We build and test rental prototypes for long-term durability, using simulation wash cycles, stretch recovery, and performance scoring.
What’s included in our prototyping process?
We deliver:
- Physical samples in all selected sizes
- Wash-test units for cycle simulation
- Durability scoring reports with recommendations
- Fit feedback based on realistic rotation impact
Each sample undergoes:
- 10 simulated washes
- Wear simulation (stretch, fold, snap tests)
- Stitch integrity checks under tension
| Prototype Element | Rental-Specific Test Applied |
|---|---|
| Fabric | Shrink, pill, and fade resistance |
| Seams | Pull and seam slippage tests |
| Elastic and cuffs | Snap-back recovery under heat |
| Print application | Rub and fade testing (wet/dry) |
Why is this important for rental?
Brands avoid costly relaunches and product recalls by identifying failure points before bulk. Our process makes sure your garments are ready for 15+ wears—not just a photoshoot.
Bulk Production with Rental-Ready Standards
Rental programs need consistency, flexibility, and elevated construction.
Our production system is tailored to meet rental standards, with low MOQs, consistent quality, and reinforcement practices built into every batch.
What makes our production process rental-ready?
We implement:
- Higher stitch density (SPI)
- Stronger threads and tension calibration
- Bar-tacks and seam reinforcements at stress points
- Full-batch QC (100% inspection, not sampling)
| Production Feature | Standard Practice | Rental Upgrade Applied |
|---|---|---|
| Overlock stitching | 3-thread | 4-thread w/ safety seam |
| Waistband stitching | Single fold | Folded + topstitched |
| Hem finish | 1-line turn | Twin-needle or coverstitched |
| Inspection method | Spot check | Every unit checked |
Can we handle low-volume and fast restocks?
Yes. We:
- Accept MOQs starting at 100 pcs/style
- Hold stock fabric for quicker repeats
- Maintain flexible line capacity for rolling reorders
This helps you respond to inventory wear patterns and size-specific needs without overproducing.
Logistics Support for Scalable Rental Programs
Shipping isn’t the end—it’s part of the loop.
We support logistics workflows tailored to rental programs, including reusable packaging, batch-level tracking, and refurbishment return handling.
How do we support logistics beyond standard export?
We offer:
- Custom packaging suited for returns (zip bags, cloth bags, tag pockets)
- Unit-level tagging with QR/barcode
- Garment bundling by box or subscription cycle
- Optional coordination with cleaning/repair partners
For clients managing reverse logistics:
- We accept returned inventory for repair, restitch, or restocking
- Provide monthly repair/recycle reporting
- Assist in repackaging for resale or donation
| Logistics Service | Rental Use Case Example |
|---|---|
| Fold-flat polybag system | Fits into return mailers |
| QR code garment ID | Scan for repair intake |
| Size-split box packing | Ready for subscription fulfillment |
| Bulk return refurbishing | Every 3–6 months batch refresh |
How does this scale?
With modular prep systems and SKU-based tagging, our output can scale from small rental startups to multi-country fulfillment—without losing traceability or garment performance.
Conclusion
Rental fashion needs more than fabric and thread. It needs partnership, testing, and process. From collaborative design to durability-driven production and logistics, we help rental brands build clothing that performs again and again. That’s how we move from sketch to shipment—rental-grade, every step of the way.
