UNIQO SOURCING

Apparel

Garment sourcing built around how brands actually buy.

Tailoring, outerwear, shirting, knitwear, jersey, activewear and swimwear — developed and produced in Turkey, with partner networks in Portugal and Italy where the product calls for it.

What we make

Categories where we hold real vendor relationships, not a directory entry.

Tailoring & formalwear

Suits, jackets, trousers and waistcoats — half and full canvas construction, fused programmes, made-to-measure capability. The category with the least room for a vendor who is learning on your order.

Shirting

Formal and casual shirting across poplin, twill, oxford, linen and blends. Yarn-dyed and piece-dyed programmes, non-iron finishing, pattern matching to your fit block.

Outerwear

Coats, technical and casual jackets, quilted and down programmes. Fabric development and trims usually drive the calendar here, so they start first.

Knitwear

Fine and chunky gauge, cotton, merino, cashmere blends and recycled yarns. Gauge and yarn sourcing handled at the same time as the design, not after it.

Jersey & woven separates

T-shirts, sweats, polos, dresses, skirts and trousers. The volume base of most ranges — where consistency between drops matters more than novelty.

Activewear & swimwear

Performance knits, bonded and seamless construction, swim and beachwear. Technical fabric qualification handled before sampling starts.

Turkey is the answer more often than not — but not always.

Short lead times, proximity to European fabric mills, strong tailoring and knit capability, and MOQs a growing brand can actually meet. Where a product genuinely belongs in Portugal or Italy, we say so and place it there instead.

Why brands move production here

The commercial case, rather than the country brochure.

Shorter development cycles

Fabric, trims and sampling sit within a few hours of each other. Proto to approved sample runs in weeks rather than months, and revisions do not restart the clock.

Quantities that fit a growing range

Our vendor base includes factories willing to run moderate quantities per colour without penalty pricing — the single hardest thing to find when a brand is scaling.

Duty and freight position

For European brands, short sea and road freight and preferential duty. For US brands, a competitive landed cost against Asia once freight, duty and inventory carrying are counted properly.

Pricing you can see.

In apparel the cost structure is fabric, trims, labour minutes, wash and finishing, and packaging. We build and challenge the quotation against each of them, rather than accepting a single number from the factory.

Selected brand experience

20+ years connecting brands and factories

These are past employers and clients of the team, not a list of current accounts. The tailoring and shirting work in particular comes from years spent on the brand side of those relationships — the same side of the table you sit on.
