Get a Quote on WhatsAppWhat "Low MOQ" really means at LinenTailor
Most "low MOQ" factories still ask for 100–300 pieces per colour, with an 80% deposit and no sample option. LinenTailor's small-batch program is different: 30 pieces per colour is our real, published minimum — not a marketing number that gets renegotiated at quote time. You can mix sizes inside each colour, combine multiple colours in one run, and reorder in the same 30-piece increments once a style proves out.
Our 30-piece MOQ, in plain numbers
- 1 colour × 30 pieces × any size mix — starting order.
- 4-colour capsule = 120 pieces total (30 per colour).
- Reorders in 30-piece increments per colour.
- Sampling: 1 paid sample per style before bulk.
Full-package production, not just cut-and-sew
LinenTailor runs a cut-and-sew workshop in Dongguan that works with trusted linen mills. That means a single team handles fabric sourcing, pattern making, sampling, grading, cutting, sewing, washing, finishing, labelling and packing. You brief once and receive shipment-ready cartons — no need to co-ordinate a fabric mill, a pattern maker and a CMT factory yourself.
Browse the linen fabric library we work with, or start from a ready style in our apparel shop and customise from there.
Linen specialisation & certifications
We work only with linen and linen blends. That focus is the reason we can offer boutique MOQs at prices most factories reserve for 500+ piece runs — we source linen from trusted mills and pattern, cut and sew small batches in our cut-and-sew workshop in Dongguan. OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified linen and organic cotton certified fabrics are available on request.

Frequently asked questions
- What is the lowest MOQ for custom clothing at LinenTailor?
- 30 pieces per colour, per style. You can mix sizes freely inside each colour, and combine multiple colours in one production run.
- Is MOQ 30 per colour or across the whole style?
- Per colour. Launching a 4-colour capsule of one style is 120 pieces total, not 30. This is the industry-standard small-batch structure.
- How much does a 30-piece production run cost per unit?
- Typical LinenTailor unit prices sit in the USD 18–55 range depending on fabric weight, construction and finishing. Sampling is quoted separately. Message us on WhatsApp with a tech pack or reference photos for an exact number.
- Can I order a single sample before committing to bulk?
- Yes. On every ready style in our apparel shop you can 'Buy 1 for Sample', and for original designs we quote a paid pre-production sample (PPS) before bulk.
- How long does the full process take?
- Tech pack review 2–3 days · sampling 7–14 days · bulk production 25–35 days after sample approval · sea/air freight 5–35 days depending on route.
- Do you handle fabric sourcing or do I need to supply it?
- Both. We stock a full library of linen (see /shop/fabrics), or you can supply your own fabric. Working from our stock is faster and unlocks better pricing.
- Which certified fabrics are available?
- OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified linen and organic cotton certified fabrics are available on request.
