IF THE FABRIC EXISTS, WE SOURCE IT. IF IT DOES NOT, WE KNIT IT.
Kusa Cotton Perú is a family owned garment manufacturer in Lima. For 15 years we have made knitted apparel in pima and organic pima cotton, to our clients' tech packs, for brands across the United States, United Kingdom, Europe, Latin America and Asia.
Most of what we produce runs on fabric sourced from mills we have worked with for years. We also knit our own, on circular machines in our Lima plant, which is how a construction that does not exist yet gets made. GOTS certified, with OEKO-TEX available on request.
MOST FACTORIES CAN ONLY BUY THEIR FABRIC
We buy fabric too. For an established construction in a standard colour, a mill we have worked with for years is faster and usually cheaper, and that is what we will recommend.
The difference is what happens when that is not the answer. When a construction does not exist yet, or when a colour has to hold across seasons, we knit it ourselves on circular machines in our own plant.
Most factories here cannot do that. What it means for you is that you are never pushed into a compromise fabric because it was the only one available.
HOW A PROGRAMME RUNS
You send a tech pack, or reference images with target measurements. We quote FOB from that, in dollars. Once you approve, we develop the fabric and build a fitting sample in 20 to 25 days, when the construction and colour are available. One correction round is included.
Sales samples follow in 60 to 70 days, bulk production in 95 to 100. Screen printing is water based ink. Labels, hangtags and packaging are handled here. Payment is 50 percent at order and 50 percent before despatch.
