Development & sampling
Turn tech packs or references into samples, manage fit and design revisions, and bring each style to an approved reference.
What we manageFrom sourcing through delivery
What we
take on.
We take programmes into bulk production in China and manage them to shipment. The sourcing, costing and development that come first are how we make sure the order is right before it is placed.
01 / DEVELOPMENT, SOURCING & COSTINGProduct, materials
Product, materials
& commercial feasibility.
Worked on in parallel, to get a programme ready to place.
Fabric & trim sourcing
Source fabrics and trims to the brief, develop alternative suppliers, and check availability, minimums and lead times.
Factory sourcing & costing
Match suitable factories, obtain and compare quotations, build up the cost, and negotiate price, delivery and terms.
02 / BULK PRODUCTION & DELIVERYFrom agreed basis
From agreed basis
to bulk delivery.
The confirmed sample, price and terms become the order we manage.
Bulk order management
Set up the order with the factory, follow materials, cutting, sewing and finishing against the plan, and act early when dates are at risk.
QC & issue resolution
Arrange inspections against the approved sample, raise defects with the factory and follow rework or replacement through.
Delivery follow-through
