Tulum Fashions manufactures resort wear and beachwear in Medellín, Colombia. Kaftans, cover ups, linen shirts, beach dresses, wide leg trousers and matching sets, produced full package for brands in the United States and Europe.
Resort rarely sells alone. Producing the cover up in the same house as the bikini it belongs to is what keeps tone, trim and delivery date aligned across a drop, and it is the reason most of our resort work arrives with a swim programme attached.
Up to 3 colors inside that minimum, sizes mix freely. Runs of 100 to 149 carry a short run surcharge.
From approved sample and received deposit. Sampling itself takes about 3 weeks.
With a certificate of origin. Colombian apparel is not duty free, whatever the industry says. Chinese apparel runs 35 to 65%.
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.
100 to 149 runs carry a short run surcharge. Under 100 units is sampling, not production.
It rewards brands that put styles into production rather than subsidising brands that only explore.
credited at 500 units or more per style
credited at 1,000 units or more per style
The credit applies to the development fee only and is issued against the final production payment, never as an upfront discount. The order must be placed within 90 days of sample approval. Samples, extra fit rounds and shipping are never credited. Below 500 units per style the fee is not refundable: treat it as the cost of building the style, not as a deposit.
150 units per style, split across up to 3 colors. Sizes mix freely. Runs of 100 to 149 units are accepted with a short run surcharge. Under 100 units we treat the order as sampling rather than production.
Kaftans, cover ups, linen shirts, beach dresses, wide leg trousers, shorts and matching sets. We also produce the swim that sits underneath them, which is where most resort programmes start.
Yes, and it is the reason most clients bring us both. Running the cover up and the bikini in the same house keeps color, trim and delivery aligned across the drop, instead of chasing two factories on two calendars.
6 to 8 weeks from approved sample and received deposit. Sampling takes about 3 weeks. Air freight from Medellín to the United States adds 3 to 5 days.
Linen, cotton, viscose blends and lightweight wovens sourced in Colombia. We match fabric 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.
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 35 to 65%.
Yes, provided the brand can commit to 150 units per style and pay for development. Development is paid work: US$800 per style from scratch, US$550 if you bring your own tech pack. We do not absorb development cost in exchange for a future order.
Medellín has a resort and swim supply chain built over decades: fabric, trims and finishing sit in the same city rather than being imported. Air freight to the United States takes 3 to 5 days, so a style that sells out can be back in stock inside the same season.
