    From the floor

    A Paris-based womenswear label came to us with a tight sampling window. We finished prototypes in 10 working days while sourcing the fabric — with the certificates they required — in parallel. Final samples, with custom prints, embroidery and finishing details, were shipped within three weeks of starting. We were commissioned to make 12 samples, charged at €45 per sample including the custom printing and embroidery.

    From Sample to Dispatch

    How it works

    MOQ

    100 pieces per style; built for runs of 100–5,000 pieces per style.

    Sampling

    5–7 working days, with up to three corrections before bulk.

    Bulk lead time

    Bulk shipment in 4–5 weeks from the approved sample.

    Production route

    Full-package with fabric sourced by us, or CMT with client-supplied fabric.

    Sampling starts with brief and tech pack review, followed by a base pattern, a fit sample in muslin and up to three corrections before bulk. Pattern making, cutting, stitching, finishing, QC and packing are all in-house. Seven-stage quality control runs from size-set approval to AQL 2.5 final inspection before dispatch.

    What we don't do

    • Heavy embellishment

      We focus on well-made woven garments, not heavily embellished pieces.

    • Runs under 100 pieces

      Our minimum is 100 pieces per style.

    • Passing the blame

      If something goes wrong at our end, we own it and fix it.
