Activewear
Sampling

Sampling allows you to test fit, compression, and support before placing a bulk order. After pricing and fee confirmation, you are assigned a dedicated sampling merchant who manages your order from handover to delivery. All collections receive equal care and attention, regardless of brand size. Allow 1 to 3 weeks to produce.
After payment, we can provide a free 2D mock-up upon request. This preview shows your collection in your selected colours and prints, allowing for last-minute adjustments to shape or colour.

How it Works.

  1. Please send your style codes, front and back screenshots or clear line drawings, along with your fabric and colour choices, via email or WhatsApp. We will confirm all details with you before production begins.
  2. We create your patterns using 2D AutoCAD software, ensuring compression and flexibility across all sizes. Fabric is cut to specification, and your branded heat-press labels are applied.
  3. We assemble each piece by hand, checking for issues such as ankle bagging, pinching waistbands, and ensuring tops fit snugly around the bust.
  4. We inspect stitching around the waist, bust, and seat to ensure it remains comfortable, flattering, and body-sculpting after repeated wear.
  5. After assembly, we send flat-lay photographs for your approval before arranging DHL Express collection and delivery. Allow 3 to 5 days for delivery.

Sample Costs

01 Custom Designs

2 x Wholesale + $30 development fee per style

02 Ready Designs

2 x Wholesale, no development fee

The $30 USD development fee is credited against your bulk deposit on every custom design that goes to production. Samples are paid in full before work begins. Freight is quoted separately, and duties at your end are yours.

If it isn’t right
Minor corrections are corrected using our digital software at no charge. Anything obviously different from the handover you approved is remade at our cost.

How many to sample

A typical first activewear range includes four to six styles, such as two tops, a legging, and a training short. Padel and court brands often add a dress and a skort.

We suggest sampling at least four designs, as smaller ranges rarely proceed to production. If you wish to test our quality with one or two styles before committing, please send your brand name and website, and we will advise if we’re a good fit.

We recommend sampling one or two more pieces than you plan to launch. Adding extra pieces has minimal impact on cost or timeline, while a second sampling round doubles both time and freight expenses.

Placing your sample order

Custom Designs:

Send us your style codes or imagery along with your chosen fabric and colour selections via email or WhatsApp. We will confirm all details before production begins.

Ready Designs:

What you see in our catalogue and shop is exactly what arrives in your chosen colours and fabrics. Brands confident in the styles can skip sampling entirely, saving time and money. Prefer to sample first? The choice is yours.

Colours, Prints & Sizing

Colours

We hold 85 stock colours across Comfort Luxe, Motion Luxe, and Air Court imported from the US, with no minimum per colour. Samples are normally made from stock, so cutting begins as soon as payment clears. Colours imported for you add several weeks and must be committed to your bulk order. See our stock fabrics and colours

Prints

A digitally printed sample adds roughly a week. If your deadline is tight, we sublimate in Bali on polyester in 2 to 3 days.

Sizing

Grading follows globally recognised body measurements and can shift a size either way, so a Medium can be redrawn as a Small. Worth checking against your market before you send your request. See the activewear size guide
