Production capacity for British fashion brands — from 50-piece runs to full collections. Priced in GBP, shipped DDP to your UK address.
Let us be honest about something. We don't manufacture in the UK. Our production runs through Sedex/BSCI-certified facilities in Bangladesh and China. If you're committing to a "Made in UK" branding strategy, we are not the right partner.
If you're not — and most growing UK brands aren't — Fabrickly is materially better. UK-only manufacturers run MOQs of 100–500 units and FOB costs 30–50% above offshore. Their sample-to-bulk lead times are similar to ours. Their compliance audits are similar to ours. The only thing they offer that we can't is a "Made in UK" label — which most retail buyers couldn't care less about as long as the garment passes spec.
Our pitch: European-grade project management (English-fluent PMs, EU business hours, Companies House documentation), Asian-grade production capacity, GBP pricing, DDP shipping that arrives at your UK address with VAT and duties handled. The middle path that actually exists.
We handle UK customs and import VAT. Goods arrive at your address — no port runs.
From finished goods to your door, including HMRC clearance.
UK VAT-registered invoicing available for accounting compatibility.
Since Brexit, every shipment into Great Britain needs a customs declaration, import duty where it applies and import VAT. With DDP (Delivered Duty Paid), those costs are in your quote, so there are no surprise bills when the parcel arrives. Read more about DDP clothing manufacturing.
