Sourcing Babywear: What Matters Most

Baby clothing requires care, attention to detail, and reliable supply chains. For Kiwi brands, this means finding factories that meet international safety standards, offer consistent quality, and understand the specific needs of the babywear market.

We help brands navigate supplier selection, fabric choices, product development, and logistics when importing from Asia.

What to Prioritise When Sourcing Babywear

1. Product Safety

Look for manufacturers that comply with OEKO-TEX, CPSIA, or equivalent standards. Baby clothing should be free from harmful substances and manufactured in safe, controlled environments.

2. Comfortable Materials

Babies have sensitive skin. Materials like organic cotton, bamboo blends, and combed cotton are popular for their softness and breathability. Always test fabrics for both comfort and durability.

3. Practical Design

Designs should allow for easy changing, soft seams, and safe fastenings. Factories experienced in babywear will understand how to execute these features correctly.

4. Scalable Production

If you're just starting out, smaller MOQs (minimum order quantities) can help you launch without overcommitting. As your brand grows, a good supplier should scale with you.

Fabric Considerations

Some commonly used fabrics in baby clothing include:

  • Organic Cotton: Gentle on skin and sustainable.
  • Bamboo-Cotton Blends: Known for their softness and antimicrobial properties.
  • Combed Cotton: Strong and smooth for everyday essentials.

When selecting a fabric, factor in washability, stretch, breathability, and feel.

Choosing a Manufacturing Partner

Manufacturers like Dongguan Dongfang Hongye Garment Factory specialise in babywear and offer:

  • Experience producing a wide range of garments for children
  • Customisation options including embroidery and printing
  • Compliance with common babywear safety standards
When evaluating a supplier, request past production samples and certification documentation.
