CKG’s Role in Premium and Custom Garment Manufacturing

· INDUSTRY,SUSTAINABILITY

CKG is synonymous with quality and premium fashion brands. There is often a stereotype that “made in China” is inferior quality or Asian factories only produce for the mass market. Or for fast fashion brands, often with high minimum ordered quality (MOQ) however, CKG breaks this stereotype.

Ever Since the 80’s we have worked with brands like In Wear and Matinique, brands that focus on quality, design and brand value. We learned and continuously grew alongside and with them. Later on, we began to produce for designer brands like By Melanie Birger in the 2000’s. Now, we work with brands that sell in the premium market, often designer brands that have two major fashion shows every year and also brands that sell at brick-and-mortar stores such as Net-a-Porter and Lane Crawford. This is a testament to CKG's strength on quality, fabric development, pattern design, and flexible MOQs.

CKG is able to understand and keep up with designer brand’s demands, which is no easy task as they often have innovative constructions, unique custom made fabrics, and most importantly lower order quantities. Our team and facilities on the other hand can handle these specifications with ease, basically– we make product development and production easy for designer brands!

Currently we are producing for designer brands that often have order quantities of around 150 to 250 pieces per any given style in their breadth. This unique and low MOQ offerings combined with our 3D sampling, fabric development strength, and certified facilities can really help brands that otherwise would need a longer time to grow to instead scale quickly and effortlessly.

Many brands now sell mainly online and are offering premium quality with certified materials, factories, and prices that are affordable. This expectation requires us to be able to provide fast and accurate sampling along with flexible order quantity to our clients. We are proud to say we have implemented and are supporting brands that need these unique kinds of supply chains for over 5 years now.

Recently, someone asked me why we support these kinds of small and demanding brands. I told her that CKG enjoys working with them because their products are beautiful and uniquely special. When we evaluate the samples after they have been made, the work that is put into these products inspires a lot of joy for our team. They are all incredibly artisans, and we are proud of the product and the sense of achievement we get from it is unmatched. We also understand that with this unique supply chain method, some of these brands will be able to grow rapidly and become something big. Due to this, supporting these smaller brands has always been in our DNA as a company and we want to keep this tradition alive well into the future.

Some may say fashion is a dirty business because it can create a lot of waste and pollution. I do agree with parts of that, but fashion can also be beautiful and bring so much joy to people. We know because CKG is made up of these passionate people. CKG wants to be a part of this narrative by providing sustainable, high craftsmanship, and flexible MOQ to any entrepreneurs in the industry.
