Many brands choose to manufacture offshore for a range of strategic and financial reasons:
Cost Efficiency
Offshore production often offers lower labour and operational costs, allowing for more competitive pricing or higher margins.
High Production Volumes
Factories in countries like China, Vietnam, and India are equipped to handle large-scale manufacturing with quick turnaround times.
Specialised Skillsets
Some offshore factories have decades of experience in specific garment types — such as technical outerwear, knitwear, or detailed embellishments.
Access to Diverse Materials
Overseas manufacturers often have direct access to a wide range of fabrics and trims that may not be readily available in Australia.
Scalability
For brands planning to scale quickly, offshore production offers the infrastructure to grow with demand.
Choosing to manufacture locally in Australia comes with its own unique set of benefits:
Speed and Flexibility
Local production allows for quicker turnaround times, more agile sampling, and easier changes mid-production.
Smaller Runs
Australian factories are well-suited to small-batch production — perfect for emerging brands, capsule collections, or made-to-order models.
Quality Control
Proximity means more hands-on oversight, ensuring higher attention to detail and consistent quality.
Ethical and Sustainable Practices
Local production gives brands peace of mind regarding ethical working conditions and transparent supply chains.
Support Local Industry
Manufacturing in Australia helps sustain local jobs and supports the growth of the domestic fashion industry.
