Do I get a list of manufacturers?

No. You get at most two, each with the reason it fits what you described. A list of twenty names is a directory with a search box on it, and those already exist for free.

What happens if nothing fits?

The credit comes back and the search is looked at by hand. Nothing weak is added to make up the number.

Counted a few minutes ago. There is no list to browse: you describe what you need, it gets searched, and at most two come back with the reason each one fits.

British manufacturing is concentrated in Leicester, Manchester and London, and it is mostly small-run cut and sew, knitwear and specialist making. For a UK brand it means speed, easy visits and a label with real meaning to a domestic customer.

For an EU brand the picture changed after Brexit. Goods crossing in either direction carry customs formalities, and rules of origin mean a garment made in Britain from non-UK fabric may not qualify for zero duty. This is worth checking with your specific fabric before you commit, not after.

Leicester in particular carries a reputation problem the industry has not fully answered. There are excellent factories there and there have been serious labour abuses. Ask to visit, ask who audits them, and treat an unwillingness to answer either question as the answer.

Frequently asked questions

Is there duty on UK-made garments into the EU?

It depends on rules of origin. UK-made from UK or EU fabric can qualify for zero duty; UK-made from third-country fabric often does not. Check for your specific fabric.

What is realistic for a small UK run?

Many workshops start around 50 to 100 pieces per style, and some sampling houses go lower.
