Retailers

Volume private-label programmes with sealed specs, ticketing to retailer standard and shipment documentation prepared to each account's compliance manual.

  • Seasonal ranges
  • Promotional buys
  • Value tiers

Minimum order

1,000 pcs per style

Lead time

75–100 days

Spec discipline at volume

Retail programmes live or die on repeatability. Every sealed sample is retained with its measurement chart, trim card and fabric swatch, and every bulk cut is measured against that seal before the line runs.

Compliance and audits

We hold SEDEX, BSCI and WRAP and are audited annually. Retailer-specific ethical and technical audits are accommodated with two weeks' notice, and previous reports are available on request.

Ticketing and presentation

Barcode tickets, size cubes, polybag specifications, carton marking and ratio packing are all done to your handbook, so goods move from container to shop floor without repacking.

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.
