Who's Behind This

About the Founder

Founder, Prime Collective — at Handloom Bhawan, New Delhi

Two years building a D2C brand, before building an export house.

Before Prime Collective, I built a natural-fibre D2C apparel brand single-handedly — sourcing fabric, directing photoshoots, and learning first-hand what separates a garment that photographs well from one that actually holds up in the hand. That's not a pitch line; it's where the sourcing instinct behind this business comes from.

The move into export happened at Bharat Tex and Handloom Bhawan, meeting mills and units that had the certifications and capability but no direct line to overseas buyers. Prime Collective exists to be that line — one accountable point of contact, backed by a vetted supplier network, instead of a faceless trading company.

Sustainability isn't a landing-page claim here either — it's the same conviction that has me spending time feeding and caring for stray animals in my own city. Same reason I chose natural fibres over synthetics: what happens after the point of sale still matters.

— Founder, Prime Collective

Sustainability

Organic and natural fibres by conviction, not just by market demand.

Hands-On Experience

Two years of D2C sourcing and production before ever quoting a buyer.

Direct Access

Contacts built in person at Bharat Tex and Handloom Bhawan, not through a broker chain.

Accountability

One point of contact for your order, start to finish — not a rotating sales team.

Attention to Detail

The same eye used to direct photoshoots is the one checking fabric and finish.

The Raw Material

Our Fibres

Every claim of "organic" on this site is backed by a certified facility and a transaction certificate we can produce per shipment — not a marketing word.

    How We Work

    Capability & Quality Control

    Prime Collective operates as a merchant exporter — we don't own stitching units. We coordinate a vetted network of certified mills and garment units built through Bharat Tex and Handloom Bhawan, and manage quality end-to-end so you deal with one point of accountability, not five factories.

    Quality control — pattern measurement check
    01

    Sourcing

    Fabric and unit selection matched to your style, fibre and certification requirement.

    02

    Sampling

    Pre-production sample sent for approval before any bulk order is placed.

    03

    QC Checkpoints

    In-line and pre-shipment inspection against AQL standards, with photo reports.

    04

    Shipment

    Documentation, transaction certificates, and export logistics handled in-house.

    Several apparel styles shown in our Products section are produced for our own in-house label — we use them to demonstrate stitching quality, fit, and finishing standards before you commit to a bulk order.

    Before You Commit

    Three Ways to Sample

    Sampling is where most sourcing relationships stall — high cost, long waits, and unclear expectations. Pick the level that matches how far along your design actually is.

    Virtual Sampling

    Photos and specs from our existing range matched to your intended style and fabric. Free, and the fastest way to gauge fit before committing to anything physical.

    Regular Sampling

    A physical sample pulled from our existing collection, close to your intended design, so you can check stitching and fabric quality firsthand.

    New Product Development

    A fully custom sample in your chosen size, fabric, and style — pattern-making, sourcing, dyeing, printing, cutting, and finishing, built from scratch.

    Proof, Not Promises

    Certifications

    Certifications belong to the facility that produces your order, not to us as a trading company. For every shipment, we provide the transaction certificate issued by that certified facility, referencing its scope certificate. Numbers are verifiable directly against GOTS and OEKO-TEX's public registries.

    Safety & Organic

    Lab-tested. Applies to fibre content and chemical safety.

    OTX
    OEKO-TEX Standard 100

    Tested for harmful substances. TC issued per shipment.

    GOTS
    Global Organic Textile Standard

    Organic fibre origin through processing. TC issued per shipment.

    OCS
    Organic Content Standard

    Verifies organic fibre percentage in blended fabrics.

    Craft & Heritage

    Verifies technique and authenticity, not chemical safety.

    IHM
    Indian Handloom Mark

    Confirms genuine hand-woven production process.

    SM
    Silk Mark

    Where applicable — verifies pure silk content.

    GI
    Geographical Indication Tags

    Region-specific weaves and craft traditions, where used.

    How to read this page: a handloom product carrying only the Indian Handloom Mark is authentic heritage craft — it is not automatically GOTS or OEKO-TEX certified unless stated. We label every product accordingly rather than blending the two.
    Before You Ask

    Frequently Asked Questions

    The questions we get asked before a PO is placed — answered up front so you don't have to wait on email for them.

    It depends on the style and fabric, not a flat number across the board — check the quantity tiers on each product for a sense of scale, and use the quote form for a number specific to your style.

    Three tiers, depending on how developed your design is: free Virtual Sampling from our existing range, a physical Regular Sample from our collection, or full New Product Development built from scratch. See the Capability page for details.

    Standard is a deposit against confirmed PO with the balance before shipment — exact split depends on order size and is confirmed at quoting stage.

    Apparel runs 45–60 days, Blanks 30–40 days, and Custom Bags 20–30 days — all counted from PO confirmation, not from enquiry.

    Fabric buying, dyeing, cutting, and factory line time all get cheaper per unit at scale — a small batch loses that leverage. It's not a markup, it's the real cost curve of low-volume production.

    FOB and CIF, under Incoterms 2020, out of Mundra or Nhava Sheva — whichever is closer to your freight forwarder's routing.

    Certifications belong to the certified facility, not to us as a trading company. We provide the Transaction Certificate issued by that facility for every shipment, referencing its scope certificate — verifiable against GOTS and OEKO-TEX's public registries. See the Certifications page for the full breakdown.

    Yes. Describe the style, fabric, and any reference images you have, and we'll work with our sourcing network to translate that into a workable spec before sampling starts.

    Yes, on request, before any design details are shared with our supplier network.

    Yes — private-label branding, custom hang tags, and packaging are available and typically confirmed during the sampling stage.
