SOURCE ANYTHING BY THE/STUDIO
A thong is a minimal-coverage undergarment designed with a narrow back panel for a seamless look under clothing, popular across both women's and men's intimates lines. THE/STUDIO connects your brand with vetted thong manufacturers in China and beyond, giving you a built-in production team to manage everything from your initial brief and tech pack through samples, custom development, and final delivery.

WHAT WE BUILD
From seamless basics to custom boxer-style thongs, our factory network in China manufactures every silhouette your private label or white label line needs.

High waisted
A higher-rise front and back panel that sits above the hips for extra coverage and a smooth finish under clothing.

Scoop neck
Features a deep scoop-cut front or back opening that creates a minimal, skin-baring silhouette.

Seamless
Body-mapped tubular knit construction that eliminates side seams for an invisible look under any outfit.

Ribbed
Textured rib-knit fabric adds subtle stretch and visual interest to an everyday custom thong.

Boxer
A hybrid style combining the low-profile back of a thong with a wider, boxer-inspired waistband and leg opening.

Your spec
Bring your own pattern or tech pack and we build to it.
A plain Cotton thong is straightforward manufacturing - clean seams, standard elastic, finished in volume without complexity. A fully developed custom thong built with Sublimation across every panel, edge to edge in permanent dye, is the kind of construction our production team handles daily. The elaborate end is the norm for most brands we work with, not the exception.


START YOUR BRIEF
You don't need a finished design to begin. Bring a sketch, a reference thong, a tech pack, or an AI-generated spec, and we develop it into a production-ready thong.

A rough concept is enough to start a thong brief.

Send a spec or a reference thong and we build to it.

Bring a spec from ChatGPT, Gemini, or Copilot. We productionize it.
