Start 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.
Velora Media is based in Manhattan and serves brands across New York City, but production is sourced to each brand's brief. Where a run is made, along with its fabric and trims, is matched to your product, target price, and volume. We confirm the sourcing plan in writing with your quote.
The Garment District is a neighborhood in Midtown Manhattan, roughly between Fifth and Ninth Avenues from 34th to 42nd Street. It has been the center of New York's fashion trade for more than a century, and it is still home to pattern makers, sample rooms, fabric stores, and trim suppliers.
Cut and sew builds a garment from your own pattern or tech pack, with no base style, so you get the most control. Private label puts your brand on a factory's existing styles. Full-package manufacturing runs the whole job, from design and sampling to production and delivery. Velora offers cut-and-sew, full-package production.
No. A tech pack is the blueprint for a garment, covering measurements, materials, trims, stitching, and construction. If you have one, Velora works from it. If you don't, we build it with you from sketches, a reference garment, or measurements, so the factory has everything it needs before anything is cut.
Yes. Velora Media is based in Manhattan and works with apparel brands in all five boroughs: Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island. Every project starts with a free consultation that you book online, so it fits around your schedule whether you run a studio in Bushwick or a shop in SoHo.
For most new brands, yes. A small batch lets you test fit, price, and demand before you pay for large stock, and storage space in New York is expensive. Velora's runs start at 50 units per style, and once a style sells, reorders run faster on the spec and pattern we already hold.
Velora makes full-package apparel: activewear and athleisure, knitwear, tees and sweats, wovens and button-ups, denim and other bottoms, plus accessories like caps, beanies, socks, and totes. If it is cut-and-sew apparel, we can quote it. Tell us about the piece on your free consultation and we will confirm.
Yes. Custom woven labels, care and size labels, hang tags, and retail packaging are all part of full-package production, so your goods arrive finished and ready to sell in your shop or online. Bring your own branding files, or we build them with you during the design stage of the project.
