Private Label Linen Apparel Manufacturing for Boutique Brand (AU) | Linenwind Case Study

1. Client Background

Client Type: Boutique Fashion Brand

Market: Australia

Brand Positioning: Coastal-inspired, breathable natural fabrics, boutique-ready womenswear

Product Category: Linen Apparel (tops, dresses, relaxed sets)

The client is an Australian boutique brand known for warm-weather styling and easy-to-wear silhouettes. They planned a seasonal linen apparel drop for spring and summer, targeting customers who prioritize comfort, natural fibers, and refined details.

With multiple boutique locations and an online store, the brand needed a private label manufacturer that could manage trims, labeling, and consistent QC—while still supporting low volume production for testing new styles.

2. Project Objective

• Develop a boutique-ready private label linen collection for AU retail
• Start with low MOQ to validate best-selling silhouettes and colorways
• Ensure stable fit consistency across multiple replenishment cycles
• Deliver refined finishing details suitable for boutique pricing
• Build a repeatable seasonal supply plan for drops and restocks

3. Product Overview

Product Types: Linen blouses, wrap/shift dresses, relaxed matching sets

Target Channels: AU boutiques + online store

Season: Spring / Summer drops

4. Custom Requirements

The project included full private label and OEM customization to match boutique standards:

• Breathable linen fabric selection with stable finishing standards
• Soft pre-wash / optional garment wash for a premium hand feel
• Custom seasonal palette (lab dips + bulk color approval)
• Pattern making and size grading aligned with AU market preferences
• Private label woven main label, size label, and care label
• Packaging support (brand hangtags / folding standard on request)
• MOQ: 60 pcs per style
• Total Styles: 4 styles for the first drop

5. Linenwind Manufacturing Solution

Linenwind created a private label workflow that streamlined trims, color management, and QC checkpoints. We aligned fabric and finishing standards early to keep a consistent hand feel across styles and colorways.

Our sampling team produced fit samples based on the brand’s tech packs and reference garments. Two fitting rounds were completed to refine neckline shape, waist placement, and overall proportions to suit boutique customers and reduce return risk.

For production, we organized small-batch cutting and sewing with inline inspections on key details: seam neatness, topstitch consistency, button placement, and label accuracy—followed by final inspection before packing.
