Thirty-five years on the factory floor.
We are not a marketplace and not a broker. Thirty-five years spent making sure a garment comes off the line correct and arrives the week it was promised — our people, our standard, on whichever floor it is made.
Our own throughput across the three countries we produce in, into three markets.
Across the three factories we work in — cutting through to packing, under our own supervision.
Standing capacity available to us, before a booked programme opens a second shift.
Signed off before it leaves the mill
Our own auditors and QC professionals — our employees, not the factory’s — check fabrication on the production line, not in a warehouse after the container has landed.
The standard travels with us. It does not belong to any one factory, and it does not slip because a line is busy or a season is tight — which is why a repeat order comes back identical to the first.
Certified, not just claimed
The paperwork EU and US buyers now ask for before they place an order — held at the mills we produce in.
Certified organic cotton with the chain of custody intact from field to carton.
Exactly how much organic fibre a blend carries — counted and verified at every stage.
Recycled fibres traced through the chain, with environmental and social criteria attached.
Every component tested for harmful substances — the one your customers wear against skin.
No animal-derived materials and no animal testing — pledged and listed with PETA.
Ethical trade data on file, so a buyer's compliance team can tick their box in a day.
Certificates and audit reports are sent with the line sheet on request — including scope, mill and expiry date.
Three decades of high-street programmes taught us what a shop floor actually needs: consistent sizing, colour that repeats, and cartons that arrive when the promotion starts.
Who we sell to
Wholesalers, distributors and own-label brands across the United Kingdom, Europe and the United States — alongside the independent shops, traders and marketplace sellers who started us off.
How we are set up
Mercewell is UK-registered, so your contract, your invoice and your legal position all sit under English law. Behind it is our own team — the people who write the spec, stand on the line and sign the batch off. That is what you are buying, and it does not change with the factory.
