Why UK Brands Choose India

A manufacturing partner for UK's fashion market

The UK fashion scene — from London boutiques to Leicester-based wholesale labels — is increasingly sourcing production from India rather than carrying in-house factory overhead, and the newly signed India-UK trade pact makes this considerably more cost-effective.

Seona Couture works as a third-party garment manufacturer and private label partner: you own the brand and the design, we handle sourcing, cutting, stitching, quality control, and export paperwork, with finished goods shipped to the UK ready for retail.

UK shipment essentials

  • The India-UK Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) comes into force on 15 July 2026, eliminating duty on around 99% of Indian exports including textiles and apparel
  • Commercial invoice, packing list & HS classification handled for every shipment, including CETA rules-of-origin documentation
  • Standard sea freight routed via Felixstouth or Southampton; air freight available for smaller/urgent runs
  • UK VAT is applied by your customs broker on landed CIF value, separate from any import duty
