Timing decides whether t-shirts sell at full price or at a discount in Charleroi. Four seasons; peaks include the sales periods, Christmas and community festivals. For t-shirts specifically, t-shirts sell round the year in warm markets and for spring-summer in cooler ones; promotional and event T-shirts spike before elections, tournaments and festivals. Our lead time is 30–45 days including dyeing and print approval; 20–25 days on stock knit fabric, plus sea transit of about 20–30 days, so we advise confirming orders early enough to land the goods before the peak rather than during it.

Typical buyers of t-shirts in Charleroi include promotional-merchandise companies, retail chains and fast-fashion brands, wholesalers supplying street markets and event, sports and political organisers. In Charleroi, they usually order 1,000–2,000 pieces per colour and style, falling to 500 pieces for stock colours with simple prints and reorder the styles that sell through, so we keep fabric, size ratios and labels on file for repeat shipments.

Belgium has distinct seasons, so we split t-shirts into two ranges: lighter fabrics such as 100% combed cotton single jersey 160–200 GSM for spring and summer, and heavier options such as organic cotton on request with GOTS-certified yarn for autumn and winter.

Sizes: S–3XL unisex and men's; women's XS–XL fitted; kids 2–14 years. Colours: Over 40 stock colours in reactive dye; Pantone matching available on bulk.

You are not limited to stock designs. We make t-shirts in bulk in the colour you choose, in the sizes and size ratio your customers wear, and in the design you supply for the Charleroi market. A reference garment, a tech pack, a sketch or even a photograph is enough to start.

How it works: send a Pantone code or fabric swatch for colour and we return a lab-dip; send your size chart and the ratio you want in each carton; send artwork, print, embroidery or label files for the design. We make a sample for approval and then produce the bulk to that approved sample, so the order you receive matches the one you signed off.

For printed and promotional orders, we can supply blanks and printing under one contract, which avoids the quality risk of mixing suppliers and shortens the total timeline.

Tiruppur is the world's largest knitwear cluster, and most Indian T-shirts that reach Europe, America and Africa begin there, as yarn spun in Coimbatore and knitted, dyed, cut and sewn within a few kilometres. That compactness is what lets us quote short lead times and consistent prices on cotton jersey.
