What exactly does Hartken & Riaz do?
We are a German operation with our own vetted partner production for apparel. We're not an agency forwarding your order into the unknown — we represent one factory we know inside out, and we answer for what it delivers: fabric sourcing, wash development, cutting, sewing, quality control, labelling and packing, all under one roof.
Is there a minimum order quantity?
No fixed minimum — we work on demand and produce the quantity your article actually needs. It usually becomes economical from around 100 pieces per style; we do produce smaller runs, but the unit price rises noticeably. Whether it's a small first order to test a style or a full seasonal range: tell us what you have in mind and we'll quote it honestly, without pushing you toward a batch size you don't need.
How long does production take?
As a guide, allow four to six weeks from sample approval to delivery. The actual lead time depends on quantity, fabric availability, wash and finishing — elaborate hand finishes or embroidery take longer than a clean five-pocket. We name the binding date with your order confirmation, and our tracking tool shows you where your order stands at any time.
What categories and sizes can you produce?
Denim is our home turf — from straight fits to hand-finished destroyed looks — but the same line builds your whole range: polo shirts, printed and embroidered t-shirts, fleece sweatshirts, zip hoodies, chinos and complete kids' collections. Adults' and kids' sizing alike, all from the same full-package process.
Do you also produce kidswear?
Yes — kidswear is a large part of our programme. We make children's sizes from 92 to 164: kids' jeans and bottoms, boys' t-shirts, polo shirts, fleece sweatshirts and hoodies, printed, embroidered or with appliqué. About three quarters of the styles in our gallery are children's sizes, alongside our adult denim. The process is identical to any other order: sample, approval, bulk.
Can I see samples before I commit to an order?
Yes. Sky Textile is our in-house sampling label — you'll see it on garments throughout our gallery, and it's a live preview of what's possible for your brand. Get in touch and ask to see our samples; we're glad to show you the fabric, wash and construction quality in person before you decide anything. And when it gets concrete, the first sample of your own style is on us — production and shipping included, once per customer.
Can you produce garments with our own branding?
Yes — everywhere you see our Sky Textile patch or hangtag in the gallery, your own branding goes instead: leather patches, woven labels, hangtags, embroidery and packaging, exactly to your design and your spec. This is standard full-package production, not an add-on.
How do you ensure quality?
Every order is quality checked twice — once on the line during production, and once again before shipping. Nothing leaves the house that we wouldn't put our name on.
Can I follow my production's progress?
Yes — with our own tracking tool you follow your production's progress live, from first cut to shipping. You're never left guessing where your order stands.
How do I start an order or get a quote?
Reach out by WhatsApp, email or the contact form on our homepage with a short description of what you're after — style, quantity, timeline. We'll get back to you with honest next steps, and can arrange samples if you'd like to see the quality first.
