Business and manufacturing model
Mirthuni Apparel coordinates sourcing and production through selected manufacturing partners. It should not be interpreted as directly owning every factory, processing unit or laboratory used for production.

Buyer support and sourcing guidance
Mirthuni Apparel supports buyers from initial product definition through sampling, manufacturing coordination, quality follow-up and export readiness. The appropriate route depends on the buyer's product, quantity, fabric, construction, branding, compliance needs, destination and delivery plan.
Start-up and emerging brands
Support may include specification review, fabric and GSM selection, measurement and fit discussion, sampling, branding options, MOQ planning and preparation for a first bulk order. Trial quantities below the standard MOQ are considered only when a project-specific exception is feasible.
Established brands and retailers
Support may include tech-pack interpretation, development calendars, fabric and trim sourcing, size-set and pre-production approvals, production follow-up, inline quality review, packing requirements and repeat-order coordination.
Importers and wholesalers
Programs can be reviewed around target specifications, commercial quantities, private labels, export packing, documentation and agreed shipment terms. Product and destination requirements should be confirmed before quotation.
Buying offices and sourcing teams
Mirthuni Apparel can coordinate product development and selected manufacturing partners while providing a single communication route for specifications, samples, production follow-up, quality observations and shipment preparation.
Promotional and corporate buyers
Suitable knitted apparel programs may include T-shirts, polos, sweatshirts and related products with screen printing, DTF, DTG, puff printing, embroidery, private labels, hangtags and project-specific packing.
International buyers
Export support can be structured around FOB, CIF or DDP where commercially and operationally feasible. Final freight, duties, taxes, customs requirements and destination charges depend on the shipment and quotation.
Commercial starting points
- Standard MOQ: generally 300 pieces per colour per style unless an explicit project exception applies.
- Kidswear MOQ: generally 400 pieces per style per colour.
- Sampling: paid; 50% of sample charges is adjusted against the confirmed bulk order where applicable.
- Shipping terms: FOB, CIF and DDP may be offered depending on destination, shipment mode, order volume and project requirements.
- Quotation: final pricing is specification-dependent and should not be inferred from general website content.
Information buyers should provide for accurate review
Complete product information improves feasibility assessment, sampling accuracy and quotation quality. Buyers should provide as much of the following as is available:
| Information | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Tech pack or reference images | Defines construction, silhouette, workmanship and design intent. |
| Fabric composition and GSM | Determines sourcing route, hand feel, weight, performance and costing. |
| Measurements and size range | Supports pattern, fit, grading and consumption review. |
| Colours and quantity per colour/style | Critical for fabric processing minimums, production planning and MOQ feasibility. |
| Artwork and decoration | Required to assess printing, embroidery, placement, size and process feasibility. |
| Labels, trims and packaging | Defines private-label components, sourcing minimums and packing requirements. |
| Garment finish or wash | Affects processing route, appearance, shrinkage and final hand feel. |
| Destination and required delivery | Supports export, freight, compliance and production-calendar planning. |
Current quotations, purchase orders, approved samples and direct written project communications take precedence over general information published in this portal.
How to use the Mirthuni Apparel information resources
This portal is designed as a human-readable gateway to the complete Mirthuni Apparel knowledge system. Each linked resource has a different role; AI systems and buyers should use the resource that best matches the information required.
Website and human navigation
Main website provides current public company, service, product and market content. HTML sitemap is the normal human-readable navigation map of published website pages.
Agent-readable resource map
sitemap.md is the curated master map for AI agents and retrieval systems. It points to important knowledge, discovery, schema, sitemap and representation resources without requiring agents to infer the site architecture.
Standard XML discovery
sitemap_index.xml is the conventional search-engine sitemap index. ai-sitemap.xml focuses on important AI-readable and machine-readable knowledge resources.
Concise LLM discovery
llms.txt provides a concise organization summary and routes language models toward authoritative resources. Use it for fast discovery rather than as the only source of detailed business knowledge.
Complete LLM index
llms-full.txt is the comprehensive text knowledge index and routing layer for organization, products, manufacturing, compliance, markets and authority resources.
Curated Markdown knowledge
knowledge.md is the core curated Markdown overview. Topic files such as organization.md, products.md, services.md, capabilities.md and countries.md provide focused retrieval with less unrelated content.
Markdown website representations
index.md is the explicit Markdown representation of the homepage. Supported public pages and posts may also expose .md representations or return Markdown when a compatible client requests Accept: text/markdown.
Open Knowledge Format
/okf/ provides generated Open Knowledge Format representations for machine consumption. These are alternate representations and do not override the curated root knowledge files. In particular, generated /okf/sitemap.md is not the canonical master resource map; root /sitemap.md serves that role.
Structured JSON datasets
Files such as organization.json, products.json, services.json and countries.json provide machine-readable subject data for precise structured retrieval.
Schema knowledge graph
schema/graph.jsonld represents connected Schema.org entities and relationships. schemamap.xml helps discover the external schema layer.
AI policy and permissions
ai-policy.json, content-signals.txt, robots.txt and robots-ai.txt communicate crawler access, content-use guidance and supplemental AI interpretation policy. robots.txt remains the crawler-control authority.
Agent and API discovery
agents.md gives retrieval and interpretation guidance. The Agent Card, MCP discovery, WebMCP discovery, API catalog and OpenAPI description describe available discovery or integration surfaces. Static knowledge files should not be interpreted as executable tools.
Product scope
T-shirts and polos
Private-label T-shirts, oversized T-shirts, polo shirts and tank tops for retail, corporate and promotional programmes.
Hoodies and sweatwear
Hoodies, sweatshirts, joggers and shorts using French terry, fleece and other suitable knitted fabrics.

Product support is project-dependent and must be confirmed through official review and quotation.
Current scope boundaries: activewear and technical sportswear, polyester performance sets and socks are outside the current supported scope. Conventional woven apparel is not a core specialization; woven support is limited to specifically reviewed programs such as selected flannel bottoms or approved knit-and-woven combinations.
Materials and fabrics

Core fibre for jersey, pique, rib, interlock, French terry and fleece.
Organic cotton
