Wages and Pay Transparency -Vietnam
Wages & Pay
Transparency
A full breakdown of how we pay our Vietnam production team, how our mixed wage model works, and what our wages include beyond the base figures.
Vietnam Production Unit
Our Vietnam production unit is located in District 12, Ho Chi Minh City, operating from a three-storey house set up for sampling, small-batch production, and garment finishing.
As of 2026, the Vietnam team consists of 12 team members, working across management, sampling, sewing, cutting, finishing, packing, and sourcing support.
Vietnam Wage Model
Wages in our Vietnam production unit are structured using a mixed model, combining monthly salaries and per-order (piece-rate) payments, depending on role and responsibility.
All figures below are shown in Vietnamese Dong (VND) and reflect approximate monthly base pay, excluding additional per-order payments where applicable.
| Role | Monthly Pay (VND) |
|---|---|
| General Manager | 42,000,000 |
| Main Sample Maker | 10,000,000 |
| On-ground Assistant | 10,000,000 |
| Sampling Assistance | 5,000,000 + PO payments |
| Online & Sourcing Assistance | 5,000,000 + tech pack payments |
| Production Assistance & Cutting | 3,000,000 + PO payments |
Some roles receive additional payments tied to production volume, technical work, or purchase orders.
Members of the sewing, cutting, and finishing team are paid per garment, based on output per purchase order (PO).
Working Hours & Conditions
A key difference between our Vietnam production unit and typical garment factories is working hours and flexibility.
- No Saturday work — whereas many factories require full Saturday shifts
- More consistent daily hours, rather than extended 10–12 hour days
- Some roles allow flexibility or partial remote work where appropriate
Vietnam Wage Summary
Because wages in our Vietnam production unit are structured through a combination of monthly salaries and per-order payments, a single average wage figure would be misleading.
Based on internal payroll data and direct feedback from our team:
- Overall earnings are comparable to or higher than local factory wages
- Effective hourly rates are higher due to reduced working hours
- Working conditions are consistently reported as more supportive and less stressful than previous factory roles
Additional Support
In addition to wages, our Vietnam team receives:
- Stable, ongoing work
- Paid leave in line with local requirements
- Flexible arrangements when family or personal needs arise
- Pay advancements when needed
- A collaborative, small-team working environment
