Sustainable textile production in Europe – Small series starting from 25 pieces

Do you want to have clothing produced and are looking for a reliable alternative to Turkey or Portugal? Atelier Jungles is a clothing manufacturer in the Netherlands – specialized in small-scale production and sustainable textile production in Europe.

Our studio is located in The Hague – close to North Rhine-Westphalia, Düsseldorf, and Cologne.

Small-scale production for start-ups and brands

Many German brands face the same challenge: high minimum quantities abroad, long delivery times, and little flexibility.

  • Small-scale production starting from 25–50 pieces per style
  • Direct contact with production
  • Fast sample development
  • Sustainable production within Europe

Ideal for start-ups, sustainable fashion labels, and companies with their own collection.

Why production in the Netherlands?

  • Shorter delivery times than production in Asia
  • No import duties or long transport routes
  • Transparent working conditions
  • Lower CO₂ emissions

For brands from NRW, The Hague is often closer than Portugal or Eastern Europe.

Our production process

  1. Design & tech pack review
  2. Pattern development & grading
  3. Sample creation
  4. Approval & series production
  5. Quality control

Transparent communication and direct coordination are a matter of course for us.

Alternative to Turkey or Portugal?

Turkey is strong in large volumes. Portugal is known for sustainable production. But if you:

  • want to start with small quantities
  • want to remain flexible
  • prefer personal contact
  • looking for a European solution near Germany

Then production in the Netherlands is often the strategically better choice.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the minimum quantities?

Our minimum quantity is usually between 25–50 pieces per model, depending on complexity and material.

Is sustainable production possible?

Yes. We work with sustainable fabrics and transparent supply chains within Europe.

How long does production take?

Depending on the project scope, between a few weeks and several months.

What does textile production in Europe cost?

Costs depend on material, complexity, and quantity. In small series production, piece prices are higher than in mass production in Asia, but many brands save through lower minimum quantities and less inventory.

Is production in the Netherlands more expensive than in Turkey?

For large volumes, Turkey is often cheaper per piece. For small series and start-up collections, production in the Netherlands can be more economically viable, as minimum quantities are lower and lead times are shorter.

Can I only have samples produced?

Yes. Many German brands start with a sample production before releasing a larger series. This allows for testing fit and quality.

What products can be manufactured?

We produce T-shirts, hoodies, dresses, pants, workwear, merchandise, and textile accessories in small and medium quantities.

Is the production GOTS certified?

We work with sustainable fabrics and European supply chains. Certifications depend on the respective material supplier.

How far is The Hague from North Rhine-Westphalia?

The Hague is about 2–3 hours from Düsseldorf or Cologne. For many brands from North Rhine-Westphalia, this is closer than production sites in Southern Europe.

Is Atelier Jungles a full-service clothing manufacturer?

Yes. We accompany the entire process – from tech pack review, pattern development, and sampling to mass production.
