From your idea to a sample you approve

You don't need a tech pack. A photo and a few answers are enough to start.

The five steps

Usually 4 to 6 weeks, depending on the rounds of changes.

  1. 1
    Design consultation

    Show us your idea. We advise on fabric, fit and cost for your price.

    You get a brief and a first price
  2. 2
    Fabric and trim sourcing

    We find the right fabric from our 13, plus buttons and trims.

    You get options to approve
  3. 3
    Pattern making

    Our pattern makers draft your pattern, or correct the one you send.

    You get a pattern kept for your repeats
  4. 4
    Sampling and fit

    We sample, fit and correct until it is right. 2 rounds included.

    You get photos, measurements or the sample
  5. 5
    Pre-production sample

    In your bulk fabric and trims, with any handwork, in your sizes.

    You get the sample you sign off

Bring whatever you have

Each of these is a fine place to start.

  • An idea

    Tell us the garment, the fabric feel and the price you are aiming at.

  • Sketches or photos

    Hand drawings are fine. So are photos of something you like.

  • A tech pack or sample

    We read it, flag anything unclear and quote from it.

Your designs stay with our development team. NDA on request.

Questions we are asked

Do I pay for samples?

The sample fee is separate and is not credited against your order.

How long does a sample take?

Sample time varies by design and quantity.

Who owns the pattern?

Once you have paid for development, the pattern and tech pack are yours. We keep a copy only to make your repeat orders.

Can you copy a garment I own?

We can develop from a sample you own the rights to. We don't copy another brand's design.

Tell us what you want made.

One short form, no tech pack needed. We reply the same day.
