Denim and jeans manufacturer in Bangladesh
Belle Vouz makes private-label jeans, denim jackets and skirts in Bangladesh in rigid and stretch denim, from 800 to 1,000 pieces per style. Indicative FOB prices run from $8.00 to $16.00 a piece, and the wash recipe decides where in that range you land.
Overview
Five-pocket jeans, denim jackets and skirts in rigid and stretch denim. Denim is priced differently from the rest of our range because the fabric is heavier, the construction is more operations-intensive, and the wash is effectively a second manufacturing process happening after the garment is already sewn. Denim weight is quoted in ounces per square yard: roughly 10oz is a light summer jean, 12oz is the everyday standard at about 407gsm, and 14oz and above reads as heavyweight or raw. Stretch denim adds elastane for comfort and recovery, at the cost of some of the durability and ageing character that rigid denim is prized for. The wash — stone, enzyme, bleach, whiskering, hand sanding — is where a plain pair of jeans becomes a specific product, and where the cost range in this category genuinely comes from.
What's actually in the spec.
Non-stretch five-pocket jeans at moderate volume. Denim quality and the wash recipe drive the range — a rinse wash sits at the bottom, a multi-step vintage wash at the top.

What buyers ask about denim.
Why is denim MOQ higher than for t-shirts?
Two separate minimums stack on top of each other. Denim fabric is woven in long production runs and mills hold higher minimum order quantities than knit fabric suppliers do, so the fabric alone pushes you above a typical knitwear threshold. Then the laundry adds its own: a wash recipe is developed and dialled in per style, and the machines run economically at a certain load size regardless of whether your order fills it. Running 300 pairs through a wash programme developed for your specific style means paying for the development and the machine time across very few units. That is why 800 to 1,000 pieces per style is the realistic floor here, against 500 for a tee — it is two constraints multiplying, not a factory being difficult.
How much does the wash affect the price?
More than any other single decision you make in this category, and it is the line most first-time denim buyers leave out of their budget entirely. A simple rinse wash is close to the bottom of the range. A multi-step vintage finish — enzyme wash, then bleach, then whiskering, then hand sanding, then a final rinse — can involve five or more separate operations, several of them manual, and it moves a pair of jeans several dollars up the FOB range on its own. The fabric barely changes across that spread; the labour and machine time do. When you send a reference pair, we cost the wash against what is actually on that garment, and we will tell you which steps are driving the number so you can decide what to keep.
What's the real difference between rigid and stretch denim?
Rigid denim has no elastane and moulds to the wearer over time, which is what produces the fades and creases denim enthusiasts buy it for; it is also less forgiving on fit, so your pattern and grading have to be right. Stretch denim adds 1 to 3 percent elastane for comfort and shape recovery, fits a much wider range of bodies from a single pattern, and is far more commercially forgiving — but it ages differently, never develops the same character, and the elastane can degrade with heat over years. Neither is better in the abstract. If your brand story is about how the jeans wear in, go rigid and invest in the fit. If it is about comfort and broad sizing, stretch will return fewer garments.
