The kids clothes market today is like a delicious big cake! Parents are paying more and more attention to the quality and style of their children’s clothing. They are willing to spend money on beautiful and comfortable kids clothes. Coupled with the stable number of newborns, the market demand continues to grow. This is an excellent opportunity for children’s clothing retailers to make money.
However, it is extremely difficult for new children’s clothing brands to get a share of this cake. Established kids clothes brands have long occupied parents’ minds with their years of reputation. To be remembered, new brands have to spend a lot of money on advertising and wait patiently. Moreover, established brands have sales channels all over online and offline platforms. For new brands, building channels takes time and is difficult to negotiate cooperation. In addition, children’s clothing has high requirements for design and quality and must comply with strict regulations. Every step is not easy.
In this case, free sample clothes become a “key tool” for new brands to break the situation. Without spending a lot of money on production, they can test the market response and reduce risks. They can also have more confidence when negotiating cooperation with sample clothes. It is a key step for new brands to break through the difficulties of starting up and open up the market.
LEZONKIDS has 15 years of rich experience in OEM/ODM and insists on a minimum MOQ of 50 pieces. This allows start-up children’s clothing brands and boutique community kids clothes businesses to wholesale new styles.
Every new kids clothes brand is born with a passionate vision – maybe it is to design safe children’s clothing that makes children laugh or create environmentally friendly clothing that makes parents feel at ease. But when these ideals meet cold reality data, a cruel truth emerges: 87% of children’s clothing retail stores are forced to give up testing more than 3 styles due to the high cost of sample clothes. This means that many potential best-selling products have died on the drawing board before they are born.
Suppose a new brand plans to launch 5 styles of baby rompers:
- Single sample clothing cost: design fee $200 + plate-making fee $200 + fabric procurement $80 + process testing $70 = $550/style
- Total cost for 5 styles: $550×5 = $2,750
This is only the expenditure at the sample clothing stage, not including the investment in mass production, logistics, and marketing. When children’s clothing new brands with limited funds have to choose between “testing more styles” and “retaining cash flow”, their innovation space is seriously compressed.
A New York designer once insisted on using hand-sewn sequins on children’s sports shoes but found during mass production that:
- Friction test failed: the sequin shedding rate during children’s activities was 43%
- Loss from secondary sample modification: re-design caused a 3-week delay in listing, missing the back-to-school season schedule
The trial-and-error cost caused by the lack of process knowledge often becomes the last straw that crushes start-up brands. LEZONKIDS, which has 15 years of experience in children’s clothing OEM/ODM, suggests: It’s not that sequin-processed children’s sports shoes cannot be made, but in order to ensure children’s sports safety, simple or purely manual (insufficiently firm) processes cannot be used. On the contrary, our smart workshop can fully realize technological manufacturing assembly lines, making the combination of sequins and sports shoes no longer a wrong proposition.
LEZONKIDS’ cloud database stores classic models accumulated over the past 15 years:
| Category | Optional Models | Average Time Saved |

As a children’s clothing retailer, you only need to put forward your design concept to the designer. Our professional designers will extend design inspiration according to your design concept. At this time, you only need to select the basic model and generate a new design through parametric adjustment (such as sleeve length, neckline depth). LEZONKIDS promises that the design fee will be zero.

A Nordic brand launched three sleeve lengths simultaneously when testing tie-dye sweaters:
| Sleeve Length Type | Average Height of Children Trying on | Pre-sale Conversion Rate | Return Rate |
|---|
| Regular Style | 105cm | 12.3% | 18% |
| Three-Quarter Sleeve | 98cm | 8.7% | 27% |
| Extended Cuffed Style | 110cm | 21.5% | 9% |
Data shows that the adjustable extended design covers children aged 3-6 at the same time and becomes the final mass production plan.
A Los Angeles start-up brand found after collecting data through sample pre-sale that:
- Waist elastic band: 82% of parents want to shorten it by 1.2cm compared to the standard size
- Neckline size: 76% of 3-year-old children actually have a neck circumference 0.8cm larger than the industry standard
The brand immediately contacted LEZONKIDS’ professional kids clothes consultants to communicate solutions. The children’s clothing consultants quickly established an analysis team and worked with designers to provide product adjustment plans. According to the adjusted formal products, the return rate dropped from the industry average of 23% to 6%.
We know that every new brand is a spark of industry change. For this reason, LEZONKIDS promises:
- Zero-threshold start: permanent free sample making
- Full-cycle companionship: professional children’s clothing consultants will dock the whole process from sample clothes to mass production
- Emergency channel: emergency orders (50% deposit prepaid) can start the “72-hour lightning channel”
Act now: Let free sample clothes become your biggest competitive advantage. Those who change industry rules are never bound by costs. Free sample making is not charity, but our tribute to innovators.
