If you're seeking a professional, reliable manufacturer, look no further – you've found the right one. I’ve just completed our first tech pack and design session with Bethany, who was incredibly professional and thorough, assisting with every detail to ensure the highest quality possible. I also had the pleasure of meeting Jocelyn, whose expertise and guidance were extremely helpful. Having a team of such high caliber is exactly what you need when entering the fashion industry. I can’t recommend them highly enough.

Hook & Eye’s service was superb from start to finish. Comms began via WhatsApp with Josie who explained what I needed and consequently scheduled my appointment. Bethany, my designer, was patient, methodical and thorough who then passed the designs via Elina who made constructive comments which were implemented. I will not hesitate to use their services again!

We were looking for a professional design partner and came across H&E while exploring potential suppliers. From the very beginning, communication was smooth and efficient. First we booked a two hour session and then we returned for a 4 hour design session. Upon arrival, we were welcomed and got straight to work, and made lots of progress. Starting from scratch, Bethany guided us through the entire process, and by the end of the session, we had fully developed tech packs ready for sample production. Working with Bethany was an absolute pleasure. She is incredibly skilled, knowledgeable, and efficient, bringing both creativity and expertise to every step of the process. She was not only professional but also genuinely kind and helpful, making the experience both productive and enjoyable. Her ability to offer innovative ideas and solutions made a huge difference, and we truly appreciated her input. We’re excited to collaborate with H&E again in the future.

We were searching for a professional design partner and came across H&E’s website while exploring potential suppliers. From the outset, the communication was seamless and prompt, even during the holiday season. The team’s willingness to communicate via WhatsApp added a personal touch, making the process feel more casual and allowing us to share ideas instantly. The quick responses and ease of collaboration made the experience incredibly smooth. Given that we were planning to release four different designs, we opted for the 3-hour tech and design session with Bethany. On the day of the session, we arrived five minutes early at the designated parking location and were warmly welcomed. We got straight to work on our designs, starting from a blank canvas. By the end of the session, we had completed tech packs for all of our designs, ready to proceed to sample production. Bethany’s expertise and passion for design were evident throughout the process. She demonstrated remarkable speed, knowledge, and creativity, offering innovative ideas and alternative solutions to every decision point. Her professionalism and skill made the entire experience highly productive and enjoyable. We are excited to return to H&E for future projects and extend our gratitude to Jocelyn and Bethany for bringing our designs to life. The entire process was efficient, collaborative, and hassle-free.

FAQs

Clothing Brand Consultation:

Q. I'm not sure of the best way to move forwards with my clothing brand, do you offer consultation/guidance?

A. Yes we do, and all levels of clothing brands are welcome, whether you're just starting, or are an established brand that's looking to grow. See our Brand Consultancy page for more info.

Tech Packs:

Q. Can you make my clothing designs and tech packs for me?

A. Yes, we can. We offer design sessions which allow you to sit one–to–one with one of our expert designers via an online session. See our *Best Selling* 'Tech Pack and Design Sessions' for more info.

Q. How quickly can I book a Tech Pack design session?

A. You can purchase a Tech Pack design session online at any time, it will depend on the slots available but typically customers can book ok within a week of purchase. 

Q. Can you give bulk clothing manufacture pricing from our tech packs?

A. We can send over estimated bulk production prices based on generic items like hoodies,T-shirts, joggers etc. Just ask us to send our 'Estimated Pricing Guide'. 

Bulk Clothing Manufacture:

Q. What is your minimum order quantity for clothing manufacture?

A. There is a Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) of 50 units per design/colour (this gets higher with the complexity of your design). To go into bulk clothing manufacture you must have a minimum of 2 designs, this could be one garment in two colour ways or two separate garments. 

Q. How long does bulk clothing manufacturing take?

A. Typically it takes 4-8 weeks + shipping to have your garments manufactured in bulk (this time assumes that you have already been through the sampling processes with us). If you are a returning customer and you want to re-order stock, we can usually shorten this time frame.

Q. Where is bulk manufacture made?

A. We have an integrated clothes manufacturing team based in China. 


Pricing:

Q. What is the cost of a pattern / sample / bulk clothes manufacturing?

A. All pricing is based off the tech pack of each individual garment, so pricing is individual for every service we provide. Costing changes with the complexity of the garment and the number of garments being manufactured. Costing can also be affected by fabric type / weight, graphic applications, and shipping methods. 

Sampling & Pattern Cutting:

Q. Do you do samples without commitment to bulk manufacture?

A. Yes. Each stage is priced separately to give you the freedom to move as and when you like.

Q. Can you take a fit from an existing sample?

A. Yes, we can! 

Q. How long does it take to get samples?

A. Typically samples take 4-8 weeks. 

Q. How long does a pattern take to make?

A. Patterns are created as part of our sampling process. Lead times depend on the complexity of the pattern and the studio work schedule, but can be estimated once you commit to sampling.


Location:

Q. Where are you based?

A. Our studio is based in Birmingham, UK, but we also work remotely with clothing brands from all over the world, especially the USA, Canada and Australia.


Fabrics:

Q. What kind of materials have you got?

A. A selection of our verified samples can be viewed on the fabrics page of our website. If you are looking for a fabric that you cannot see on the website, we can source different fabrics to suit your needs.

Bridge Brands:

Q. What is a bridge brand?

A. A ‘bridge brand’ is a clothing brand that ‘bridges’ the gap between value high street brands (Nike basics) and luxury brands (think Gucci). They are the brands in the middle (think Stussy, Palm Angels, Fear of God Essentials, Aries) they price a hoodie between £80-£400. These kinds of brands have the best success rates as they yield high profit levels with proportionately low investment. Hook and Eye UK specialises in cut and sew clothing manufacture for bridge brands, our high quality level in design and manufacture perfectly match the levels needed for these brands! So that we can help all sizes of brands, we slot our smaller clothing brands in the gaps between our large brands so that everyone gets the same quality. Your first step will be a Tech Pack and Design Session with one of our designers.
