LXSC sourcing guide: catalogue wholesale from 100 pieces per model; new-design development from 10,000 pieces

Before planning manufacturing, decide who the first range serves and which buying problem it addresses. A brand promise should be narrow enough to test with samples and customer feedback. Adding a logo does not by itself establish a unique fit, better quality or profitable demand.

Define one customer and wear scenario

Describe the intended shopper, channel, clothing context and price position. Use observations and customer questions where possible. Separate facts already observed from assumptions still needing testing; avoid defining a whole country or age group by one preferred colour or body shape.

State one primary need such as adjustable coverage, a particular silhouette or a smoother appearance under a named garment. Do not turn a comfort preference into an unsupported health or performance guarantee.

Give each launch style a distinct job

A small range can contain a core option, a contrasting fit or silhouette and an occasion-specific candidate. Those are planning roles, not a prescribed number of products or a guaranteed profitable mix. Each additional model adds an inventory decision and may introduce another size or packing requirement.

Match every promise to evidence

For each proposed product statement, list the supporting specification, photograph, sample observation or test report. A brand can describe verified adjustable straps or cup construction without claiming universal comfort, medical benefit or a sales record it does not have.

Keep visual identity and garment performance separate. A consistent label and image style may make the range easier to recognize, but your actual fit guidance, product condition and customer service must carry the promise after purchase.

Turn the brand brief into a route decision

If a confirmed catalogue model meets the requirement, ask about its availability and any requested branding. LXSC existing catalogue styles have a minimum of 100 pieces per model; colour and size allocation is confirmed in the quote. Label, material and colour changes require a separate review.

If the brief requires an original garment design, LXSC custom production starts from 10,000 pieces, subject to feasibility and allocation. Do not begin with development spending merely because the brand is new. Choose the route that matches the actual product change.
