we believe that textiles are more than just materials—they’re an expression of creativity, culture, and craft.
The initial sketch and design are crucial first steps in creating any piece of clothing. This sketch serves as a visual guide, outlining the direction of the garment and providing a foundation for both fashion designers and manufacturers. It should detail key elements such as color combinations, embellishments, proportions, pocket placements, and accessories.
When creating the initial sketch, consider the following factors:
Our services include helping designers turn their initial sketches into a first sample garment. This prototype allows designers to better visualize their concepts and make necessary design adjustments and revisions.
Each design requires the creation of an original pattern, which acts as a template for cutting and assembling the garment. This pattern outlines the precise measurements needed for each part of the garment. From this master pattern, variations for different sizes are produced.
Patterns can be developed either manually or using computerized systems. They are graded according to industry size charts, allowing for the creation of patterns in various sizes. The grader adjusts the patterns for different sizes, while the marker uses these patterns to plan the fabric layout for efficient cutting and minimal waste.
Computer-Aided Design (CAD) in the fashion industry leverages software to streamline the creation, modification, and optimization of designs. CAD tools help designers produce detailed sketches and blueprints for garments, accessories, and footwear.
Tech packs are comprehensive documents that serve as the technical blueprint for a garment. They typically include images, fabric and accessory details, label information, and precise measurements. By providing a thorough overview of the garment’s specifications, tech packs facilitate clearer communication between designers and manufacturers, minimize errors, and often lead to reduced production lead times and faster turnaround. While not mandatory, tech packs significantly enhance the product development process.
A garment sample, or pre-production garment, serves as a prototype to evaluate key aspects of a design, including fit, size measurements, color, fabric quality, trims, and overall construction. This initial sample is crucial for assessing and refining the garment before proceeding with bulk manufacturing.
Once the first sample is created, we offer on-site fittings with our pattern makers. This process allows for quick and efficient pattern corrections and adjustments.
A fit model, a professional trained to assess garment fit, can provide valuable feedback on the garment’s fit and comfort. While not mandatory, using a fit model can ensure that your apparel meets the desired fit standards. Alternatively, some designers opt to use their own size or friends for fittings.
With the vast array of fabric options available, sourcing the right material can feel like searching for a needle in a haystack. To streamline this process, we recommend that designers bring a sample of the fabric they wish to use.
Here are some important considerations:
Utilizing our extensive network, we can facilitate the sourcing process by sending fabric swatches directly to suppliers. This allows us to provide a range of color options and fabric choices, giving our clients more flexibility in selecting the perfect material for their designs.
Sewing and cutting are critical operations in garment production, each playing a key role in transforming fabric into finished apparel.
Efficient and precise sewing and cutting operations are crucial for achieving high-quality garments, minimizing waste, and meeting production timelines.
Our garment manufacturing process begins with precision cutting of fabric from finalized patterns. Each piece is carefully laid out and hand-sewn together, with meticulous attention to detail and the addition of any necessary accessories.
Upon completion, every garment undergoes rigorous quality control checks to eliminate any manufacturing defects before shipment. This comprehensive approach enables us to offer domestic production in our vertically integrated factories.
For larger orders, we provide overseas production options. All our international facilities are SGS-approved and adhere to stringent ethical standards to maintain the highest quality. Our overseas Research and Development teams oversee the manufacturing process from start to finish, ensuring consistency and excellence across all production stages.
Garments and apparel are packaged and finished according to store requirements.
