New collection

Acid Wash Collection

Vintage-washed knitwear built with enzyme, stone and mineral processes rather than potassium permanganate — manufactured in our own Dhaka facility, from 50 pieces per style.

Itemised quote usually within 24 business hours • Sample fees credited back in full on bulk orders • No commitment required

Images are representative of styling and finish. Final wash appearance is confirmed at sample approval stage.

MOQ from 50 pieces

Per style, knitwear. 100 in peak season, and we confirm your exact minimum when we quote.

PP-free wash process

Enzyme, stone and mineral wash. No potassium permanganate anywhere in the finish.

In-house print & DTF

Screen printing and DTF run on our own floor, so decoration is scheduled against the wash, not subcontracted around it.

Door-to-door delivery

Freight is inside our unit price. Import VAT and duties at destination are paid by the buyer.

Four styles in the wash programme

240 to 450 GSM, cut and sewn to your pattern and washed as finished garments. Every style below runs on the same minimum, the same decoration options, and the same wash approval step.

Pricing available on request — send your tech pack. Washed goods are quoted per style once we have seen the pattern and the wash depth — the finish is a bigger cost driver than the blank. These four also sit inside our wider t-shirt and hoodie and sweatshirt programmes.

Before bulk

Our Wash Standards

No two washed pieces are identical, and any factory that tells you otherwise is describing a print, not a wash. So a washed order is approved differently from a plain one: you sign off two things at sampling, not one.

1. An intensity standard
Light, medium or heavy — approved against a physical sample in your fabric and colour, not against a photograph. The swatches above are the same charcoal jersey taken through three different wash cycles.
2. A variation range
How far an individual piece may sit either side of that standard and still ship. We hold the approved sample on the floor and inspect bulk against it, so the range is the thing being measured rather than a matter of opinion at delivery.

Set both at sampling and a washed programme behaves like any other order. Skip them and there is no agreed answer to “is this piece acceptable?” until the goods are already made.

Process

Why PP-Free Matters

The fastest way to age a garment is potassium permanganate — PP — sprayed on and neutralised. It is quick, it is cheap, and it is why a lot of washed product reaches the market at the price it does. It is also on the ZDHC Chemical Watchlist, which is the list a growing number of brands screen their supply chain against before they place an order.

We do not use it. The vintage effect on every piece in this collection is built mechanically and enzymatically instead — enzyme wash to break the surface of the fibre, stone wash for abrasion, mineral wash for the marbled contrast. It takes longer and it costs more per piece than a PP spray does.

What you get for that is a garment you will not have to answer questions about later. If your buyer, your retailer, or your own compliance team asks what is in your wash chemistry, the answer is short and it does not need qualifying — and you are not exposed to a restricted-substance finding on a product already sitting in a warehouse.

To be exact about what this is: PP-free is a description of our process, not a certification. Our facility holds BSCI. If you need documented chemical testing on finished goods for a specific market, tell us at quoting stage and we will tell you plainly what we can and cannot produce.

How a washed order runs

  1. Send your tech pack

    Or a reference garment and a photo of the wash you are after. Either is enough to start costing.

  2. Sample development

    Blank sampling is USD 60 per style, 7–10 days to develop, and sample cost credited against your bulk order.

  3. Wash standard approval

    You approve a physical intensity standard and the variation range it may move within. Nothing enters bulk before this is signed.

  4. Bulk production

    Cut, sew, wash and finish in-house, with photo QC reports at each stage before the goods ship.

Price this collection

Send the styles you want, your quantities, and the wash depth you are aiming at. If you have a reference garment, a photo of it is worth more than a description.
