Fabric, pattern & fit

Review material options and construction, then develop the pattern and sample around your intended silhouette.

Ready for production

Confirm measurements, approved materials, artwork and trims before agreeing on the production plan.

A FEW THINGS TO KNOW

Before we begin.

Have something else in mind?

Talk to the team
Do I need a finished tech pack?

No. You can start with references or sketches. The team will review what information is available and identify the details needed for sampling.

What is the difference between OEM and ODM?

OEM usually starts with your own design and specifications. ODM can involve developing a design direction with the manufacturer. Share your starting point so the scope of work can be agreed for your project.

How much does development cost and how long does it take?

Development costs and timing depend on the design, material sourcing, sample work and revisions. Request a project review to confirm the scope and schedule.

What quantity should I plan for?

Minimum quantities depend on the style, fabric, color and trims. Include your expected quantity per style and color so the team can review suitable options.
