Frequently asked questions

Sourcing from Colombia, the practical way.

Can Tulum Fashions manufacture for brands based in Scottsdale, AZ?

Yes. Tulum Fashions produces in Medellín, Colombia, and ships full-package orders to Scottsdale in 3-5 business days. Colombian apparel entering the US carries a 12.5% additional duty (effective July 24, 2026), against 36–52% effective on Chinese apparel. Rates current as of August 2026 and subject to change.

What categories does Tulum produce for Scottsdale brands?

Focus areas for Scottsdale: luxury resort wear, golf apparel, wellness and spa uniforms, premium athleisure. We also produce uniforms, medical scrubs, casual wear, and sportswear. Both men's and women's lines.

What is the MOQ for Scottsdale brands working with Tulum?

150 units per style. We work in lean manufacturing modules: a module runs one style at a time, and 150 units is what it needs to fill a production day — so 150 is our list-price minimum; runs of 100–149 carry a +35% small-batch surcharge, and below 100 we do development and samples only. Those 150 units can be split across up to 3 colors, and sizes mix freely. Development pricing on our development page.

How does delivery from Colombia to Scottsdale work?

Air freight from Medellín to Scottsdale, AZ in 3-5 business days. Colombian apparel carries a 12.5% additional duty (effective July 24, 2026), vs 36–52% effective on Chinese apparel — rates as of August 2026, subject to change. Full customs documentation included. Door-to-door logistics available on request.

Do you charge for development?

Yes, always in advance. US$466.32 per style if you arrive with nothing — that covers fabric coolhunting, trims sourcing, your complete tech pack and 1:1 advisory with the founder. US$207.25 if you bring a complete tech pack, because we still have to source and validate your materials in Colombia. Samples are US$362.69 per style and include pattern making, three fit rounds and grading. Design changes US$155.44 per round, fabric swatch included, courier US$35 per shipment. The development fee is paid once, and we credit 50% of the development and sample fees of a style against its first production order (150 units or more, deposit paid within 90 days of sample approval), applied to the final balance. Full detail on our development page.

Can you match Asian pricing?

Not on unit price at high volume, and we don't try to. We compete on capital efficiency: 12.5% duty versus 36–52% effective on Chinese apparel, 3–5 day air freight instead of weeks at sea, and a 150-unit minimum instead of 500–1,000 per color. Less dead inventory, faster restocks, less capital tied up. (Rates as of August 2026, subject to change.)

What if I only need 50 units?

Below 100 units we don't run production, but we can still develop the style and make your sample, and both are yours. Production starts at 100 units as a small run (+35% on list price) or 150 units per style at list price.

What can't you produce?

Mulberry silk, leather, footwear, heavy knitwear, technical outerwear, and heavy-wash denim. If the fabric isn't available in Colombia, we're not the right factory for it.

Who will I be working with?

José Olarte, the founder, directly. Working hours that overlap with the US, English, same-day replies. One person accountable from first sketch to final delivery.

What sets Tulum apart from a US-based sourcing agency?

We run our own production plant in Medellín — development, pattern making, cutting, sewing, sample room and QC in-house — and scale through a curated network of long-standing allied workshops, with specialized finishing (digital print, sublimation, screen print, embroidery) through dedicated partners. One point of accountability: Tulum. Single point of accountability, full quality control, IP protection, and a relationship that compounds over multiple seasons.
