Industries

E-commerce Brands

Built for brands that launch in drops — short development cycles, stock-fabric options and packaging that arrives ready for a 3PL to scan and ship.

Typical products

  • Hero tees
  • Fleece sets
  • Limited drops
  • Restock programmes

Minimum order

150 pcs on stock fabric, 300 on custom

Lead time

35–55 days on stock cloth

Drop-speed development

On held stock fabric we skip the mill lead time entirely: approve a fit sample and bulk cuts inside a week. That is what makes a five-week drop cycle possible without airfreight.

3PL-ready packing

Individual polybags with your barcode, master cartons labelled to your warehouse's inbound spec, and packing lists formatted for direct upload. Goods can go to a pick face on arrival.

Replenishment on data

We hold your bulk fabric and trims after the first run, so a sell-out restock is a sewing booking rather than a fresh development cycle — typically three weeks instead of ten.

How a collection is made

Four stages, one accountable supply chain.

Every Indies programme follows the same route from first brief to loaded container — managed by a UK account team and produced on Indies-owned floors in India.
