Linen Clothing Manufacturer Case Study

1. Client Background

Client Type: Concept Store / Multi-Brand Retailer

Market: Europe

Positioning: Curated lifestyle retail, minimalist aesthetics, natural-fiber focus

Product Category: OEM Linen Apparel Capsule

The client is a European concept store known for curated brands, design-led selections, and a strong lifestyle identity. They planned to launch a small in-house linen capsule alongside their multi-brand assortment, aiming for a refined, neutral aesthetic that fits their store visual merchandising.

Their biggest concerns were consistent hand feel and color continuity across multiple styles, stable sizing for retail returns control, and a reliable OEM partner who could manage sampling, production, and QC for boutique-level presentation—without requiring large initial quantities.

2. Project Objective

  • Develop an OEM linen capsule collection for EU concept-store retail
  • Achieve a cohesive “collection look” across multiple silhouettes and neutral tones
  • Start with low MOQ to test sell-through and expand bestsellers
  • Standardize measurement tolerance and shrink control for consistent sizing
  • Build a repeatable workflow for seasonal refreshes and restocks

3. Product Overview

Product Types: Relaxed shirts, easy pull-on pants, minimal dresses, light layering tops

Target Channels: EU concept store retail + online shop

Season: Spring / Summer (capsule launch + in-season restock)

Key Focus: Neutral palette, consistent fabric feel, clean finishing for boutique pricing

4. Custom Requirements

The capsule was developed with OEM controls to meet concept-store retail standards:

  • Linen fabric selection with stable finishing route (pre-wash / optional garment wash)
  • Neutral color palette management (lab dips + bulk shade continuity across styles)
  • Pattern making and EU size grading for consistent fit across the capsule
  • Collection-level QC tolerance standards (measurements + workmanship consistency)
  • Private label trims: woven main label, size label, care label
  • Merchandising-friendly folding and packing standard (on request)
  • MOQ: 60 pcs per style
  • Total Styles: 6 styles for first in-house collection

5. Linenwind OEM Manufacturing Solution

Linenwind managed the project with a “collection-first” OEM approach: we confirmed fabric specs and finishing standards first, then locked the palette and key measurements before sampling. This ensured the capsule looks cohesive in-store and avoids shade mismatch between styles.

Two sampling rounds refined fit balance and silhouette details (collar shape, sleeve width, hip ease, hem shape). We also aligned measurement tolerance targets based on the concept store’s return-control needs, then confirmed shrink behavior after finishing to stabilize final size outcomes.

In bulk production, inline inspections focused on stitching neatness, topstitch consistency, label accuracy, and shade continuity. Final inspection verified measurement tolerance and overall appearance consistency across all styles before packing.

6. Production Details
