When Clothify fits
Start with a rough brief or existing logo. Use Clothify to turn it into artwork on garments, a store preview and launch posts you can edit. Review what the supplier supports before you promise a fabric, finish or delivery date.
When Pietra fits
Start with Pietra if you have a product specification and need to find factories, ask for quotes or plan where your inventory will be stored. Its sourcing network lets you work with suppliers and send inventory to Pietra’s fulfillment center or another location.
Compare one design before committing to a run
- Write one specification: garment cut, fabric weight, two sizes and the exact artwork placement.
- Ask whether a catalog garment meets that specification. If it does, price one printed sample and shipping.
- If you need a custom cut or fabric, ask the factory for a sample quote, a minimum order and a landed cost at that quantity.
