Why Mixing Ready-to-Order Swimwear with Your Custom Designs is the Smartest Way to Start Your Brand
If you’re planning to launch a swimwear label, you don’t need to design every single piece from scratch. A faster, lower-risk path is to combine your own custom ideas with ready-to-order swimwear styles already shaped by market demand.
This mix helps new brands save money, move quickly, and step into the market with confidence.
1. Know What’s Selling
As a startup, it’s tough to guess which shapes will perform. An experienced swimwear producer sees daily orders from established labels and knows which cuts are being re-ordered for upcoming seasons. Tapping into that knowledge gives you a big advantage—you don’t need to reinvent everything, and you avoid wasting budget on slow sellers.
2. Save Time and Money with Pre-Made Styles
Each ready-to-order piece has already been patterned and graded to international sizes. That means you skip the sampling stage for those items, paying only for the custom designs you develop.
Production time is also shorter, since the patterns are already refined. Instead of waiting months, you could be ready to launch in just a few weeks.
3. Keep Up with Trends
Swimwear moves fast—what was popular last summer may already feel old. Choosing designs created around current season trends helps you release a line that feels fresh and in demand, while your custom designs add originality.
4. Avoid Startup Overwhelm
The swimwear market is crowded, with endless opinions on what cuts “sell best.” By leveraging proven shapes while incorporating your own ideas, you reduce stress and focus on building your brand, marketing, and connecting with buyers.
5. Premium Fabrics and Colours on Hand
We stock one of Bali’s largest selections of recycled swimwear fabrics, including Carvico Vita (Italy) and REPREVE® (USA). With more than 100 plain shades ready to cut, production can begin the moment your PO is placed.
For something unique, we also offer digital printing on recycled bases, producing sharp, retail-ready results without delay.
6. Low Risk, High Impact
Blending ready-to-order designs with custom work lowers financial risk. You get proven shapes that sell, while still showing off your creativity in selected custom pieces. Ready-to-order doesn’t mean generic—fabric choices, colours, prints, and branding are all unique to your label.
Example Starter Collection Mix
A simple starting point for new brands could be:
- 2 ready-to-order bikinis in trending cuts (e.g. halter tops, cheeky bottoms, strapless bandeaus)
- 2 custom bikini sets
- 1 custom one-piece
- 1 mix-and-match style (e.g. a ready bottom paired with your own top)
This balance gives you both market-proven sellers and your own brand identity.
Ask Before You Start
Not sure how to structure your first line? Ask yourself:
- Should I launch mainly with bikinis, one-pieces, or a mix?
- Do I want to focus on timeless cuts or trend-driven styles?
- Is speed most important (stock colours) or uniqueness (custom prints)?
- Should I sample everything, or go straight to bulk on proven designs?
The answers shape your success—and we’ll guide you step by step.
