This is where the magic truly begins! Think of the pattern as the blueprint for your garment. Once we have the technical sketch and tech pack, our skilled patternmakers start shaping the garment. Their expertise ensures the right balance, structure, and, most importantly, fit. From tank tops to wedding gowns, everything begins with a pattern.

Your sample is the first garment crafted from your new pattern. It’s the piece that brings your concept to life and allows you to refine and perfect your vision to suit your needs. Our tailors and sample makers collaborate closely with the creative team and patternmakers to produce the best version of your design. With their expertise in various fabric qualities and finishing techniques, they elevate your design into a finished garment that exceeds expectations.

Before moving on to full-scale production, creating samples is essential. Samples are the crucial first step in transforming your ideas into finished products. This process helps minimize errors in mass production. By using trial and error during sample production, our team ensures your garments are in top-notch shape before moving forward.

Whether you bring us an existing garment or have created your first sample with us, we meticulously fit and perfect each piece. A fitting session typically lasts between 15 to 45 minutes, during which we conduct a thorough evaluation of the seams, fit, and overall appearance of the garment. We record all notes and corrections during these sessions to ensure that the subsequent steps are carried out precisely

Our team diligently searches both domestically and internationally to secure the best quality fabrics.

After sewn products are completed, it is critical to have your goods cleaned and finished. Cleaning, refers to clipping all threads and finishing refers to pressing the garment. Both are important to have done following a bulk production.
