Dresses, kaftans, sets, and resort pieces
produced for women's and men's brands.
MOQ: 150 units per style · small runs from 100
Tulum Fashions manufactures men's resort wear in Medellín, Colombia. Linen and camp collar shirts, short sleeve button downs, resort sets, beach trousers and shorts, produced full package for brands in the United States and Europe.
Men's resort almost never sells on its own. It sells as the shirt that goes with the trunk, which is why producing both in one place matters more here than in any other category: same print, same colour lot, same delivery date.
Up to 3 colors inside that minimum, sizes mix freely. From 100 to 149 is a small run; below 100, development and samples only.
From approved sample and received deposit. Development and sampling take about 4 weeks.
With a certificate of origin. Colombian apparel is not duty free, whatever the industry says. Chinese apparel runs 36 to 52%.
Development is paid work, quoted per style and charged before it starts. This is published policy, not a case by case negotiation.
Fabric and trim sourcing, patterns, tech pack, artwork, one physical sample.
3 rounds included in the fee.
Included. Courier is US$35.
From 100 to 149 units we run a small batch (up to 2 colors, at a +35% short-run surcharge on list price). Below 100 units there is no production run: we can do the development and the physical sample, which are yours to keep.
Development fee
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.

150 units per style, split across up to 3 colors. Sizes mix freely. From 100 to 149 units we run a small batch (up to 2 colors, at a +35% short-run surcharge on list price). Below 100 there is no production run; we can still do the development and the physical sample, which are yours to keep.
Linen and camp collar shirts, short sleeve button downs, resort sets, beach trousers, shorts and matching co ords. We also produce the swim they sit beside.
Yes, and it is the most common reason clients bring us the whole drop. When the shirt and the trunk are printed in the same house against one strike off, the colour lot matches. Split across two factories, it usually does not.
Yes. Linen, linen blends, cotton and lightweight wovens sourced in Colombia. We match by construction, weight and fiber content against your reference and send swatches before production. The swatch is included in the development fee, courier is US$35.
6 to 8 weeks from approved sample and received deposit. Development and sampling take about 4 weeks. Air freight from Medellín to the United States adds 3 to 5 days.
No. That claim is common in the industry and it is wrong. As of August 2026 Colombian apparel enters the United States at 12.5% with a valid certificate of origin. The advantage is real but it is a comparison, not an exemption: effective duties on Chinese apparel run 36 to 52%.
Yes, provided the brand can commit to 150 units per style and pay for development. Development is paid work: US$829.01 per style from scratch (US$466.32 development + US$362.69 sample), US$569.94 if you bring your own tech pack. We do not absorb development cost in exchange for a future order.
Yes. Sizes mix freely inside the 150 units. Colors do not: those 150 units cover up to 3 colors, and more colorways means more units.
We manufacture nine categories: swimwear, resort wear, activewear, casual wear, athleisure, urban streetwear, tailoring, uniforms and medical scrubs.
