Why We Exist
01
High minimums limit creativity.
Traditional manufacturing requires large order quantities before you can even test an idea. This creates risk and slows down the process of building a brand.
02
The process is fragmented.
Design, sourcing, sampling, production and fulfilment are often handled across multiple suppliers. This adds time, cost and complexity.
03
Pricing lacks transparency.
Quotes can take days, pricing changes with volume and it is difficult to understand your true costs before committing.

The Impact
The fashion industry produces more than 100 billion garments annually, contributing to an estimated 92 million tonnes of textile waste every year.
1 Unit
Launch ideas without committing to bulk inventory.
Inkse allows creators to start from one piece using the same premium garments, treatments and production standards available at larger quantities.
Made to Order
A modern alternative to traditional manufacturing.
Instead of forcing large production runs upfront, Inkse is designed to support smaller, more intentional orders that scale alongside demand.
Premium
Retail-standard garments, treatments and finishing.
From heavyweight streetwear to embroidery, puff print, activewear and specialty finishes, every order is built using premium production methods.
Built to Scale
Designed to support creators from concept to scale.
Live pricing, 3D design tools, flexible quantities and integrated production workflows simplify the process of building modern apparel brands.
- There's no minimum. Every garment, including linen, can be ordered from a single unit, and fabric is sold from 1 metre. The price per unit drops as your quantity goes up.
- Yes, most styles on the Inkse platform can be designed and manufactured starting from one unit. This allows you to sample your design before placing a production order or create unique pieces for you and your friends!
- Production starts as soon as you place your order. Most orders arrive within 2–4 weeks: streetwear and hats take about 2–3 weeks to make, activewear and sleepwear 3–4 weeks. Oversized prints, specialty finishes such as flocking, emboss and reflective heat seal, and several printing methods on one garment can add time. Orders ship directly from our manufacturing partners with YunExpress, and Australia Post delivers the last leg in Australia. You'll get a tracking link by email when your order ships.
