[ Questions ]
Questions buyers ask
What does Wiser make for brands?
Knitwear is the core: sweaters, cardigans and pullovers in cashmere, wool and blends, knit in the family factory in Suzhou. Affiliated factories make cut-and-sew and woven pieces when a collection needs them.
Can Wiser design the collection, not just make it?
Yes. The in-house design studio in China works from sketches, references or a mood board and produces tech packs, specs and samples, working across the time difference so comments often land by your next morning.
How fast is development?
Sampling in China is quick; the timeline is mostly set by shipping and US customs. Express air with duties prepaid keeps samples moving in days, and ocean freight through our forwarder keeps bulk costs down.
Do you deliver duty paid?
Yes. On duty-paid orders Wiser Manufacture Corp. is importer of record, clears US customs, pays duties and tariffs, and hands goods over locally in the US. FOB terms are also available.
Who is Wiser for?
Fashion brands, designer labels and retailers that want a long-term knitwear and apparel partner, and creators launching their own label.
What order sizes does Wiser take?
Smaller runs are made in China. Vietnam is available for programs that need a non-China origin, and Bangladesh and Cambodia take large wholesale programs. Share your quantities per style for a recommendation.
Which certifications does Wiser hold?
Four Wiser facilities are PVH certified. Ask for the current list of audits and certifications for the facilities on your program.
Have a program to place?
Send styles, quantities and a target delivery date. We reply with a landed price and the right country of origin.
