Velora Media is a clothing manufacturer for New York City brands, based in Manhattan. It handles tech packs, fabric sourcing, sampling, and full-package cut-and-sew production, with a minimum of 50 units per style. Samples take 2 to 3 weeks and bulk production takes 4 to 6 weeks.
Quick answers for NYC brandsStart with what you want to make, your budget, and how many units you need. Then look for a manufacturer that reviews your tech pack, samples before bulk, and inspects every run. Velora Media is based in Manhattan and works with New York City brands from a first sample to a reorder.
Minimums vary by manufacturer. A low MOQ is generally 25 to 100 pieces per style, while many factories ask for 500 to 1,000 or more. Velora Media's minimum is 50 units per style, which lets a New York brand test a line before paying for a large run of stock.
Clothing is quoted per style, not from a fixed price list. The per-unit cost depends on the fabric, construction, trims, and quantity, and larger runs lower the price per piece. Send Velora your designs or a reference garment, and you get a per-unit price and a production timeline back.
At Velora, sampling usually takes 2 to 3 weeks from an approved tech pack, and bulk production takes 4 to 6 weeks after you sign off on the sample. Timing depends on the garment, fabric, and order size. You get a written schedule with your quote, and reorders move faster.
Many factories want 500 to 1,000 units per style, which is a lot of stock for a new New York label.
MinimumsA factory that misreads your spec can burn months of back-and-forth before you sell a single piece.
SamplingThe wrong blend or weight can sink a run, and sourcing it alone means samples that never feel right.
SourcingA great sample means nothing if the run arrives off-color, off-measurement, or badly stitched.
