How We Work · Step 1 of 5

Clothing prototype

Define the garment, materials and fit before sampling.

Start with the garment you have in mind

A clear brief connects your idea with the decisions needed to make it. A complete tech pack is helpful, but a sketch, reference photograph or existing sample can start the conversation.

We review the intended product, fabric, fit and construction with you, then clarify what is still needed before sampling. This stage defines the direction; the physical garment is developed in the next step.

What to include in your brief

Send the information you already have. Mark any undecided details as questions so we can discuss them with you.

The style and its purpose
Reference images, sketches or a sample, together with the intended wearer and use. Point out the features you want to retain or change.
Fabric and finishing
Fabric composition, weight, hand feel, colours, prints and trims where known. Customer-supplied fabrics, trims and patterns can also be discussed.
Fit and measurements
A measurement sheet, size chart or reference garment. Include units and any important points of fit.
Quantities and delivery
Your size and colour breakdown, destination and target timing. Our minimum order quantity is 1,000 pieces per style, per colour.

Agree the scope and quotation

We review feasibility, material options and quantities, then discuss the quotation and business terms for the agreed brief. Confirm the scope and pricing with our team before moving into sampling. We treat your designs and project information as confidential.
