From the first sketch to the packed carton.
Nine stages, and the same people accountable for all of them.
Sketch to carton.
Design
Either we develop it with you from a mood, a price and a season, or we work to the drawing you send.
The spec
Measurements, construction, trims and sizing, written down once and used as the reference by every stage after it.
Fabric
From our own library or newly developed at the mill. Colour is matched and approved before anything is cut.
Sampling
Made in our own sample room by machinists who do nothing else, then photographed, measured and sent to you.
Fitting
On video or in person. Every session is written down with photographs and the exact change agreed.
Cutting
Automated spreading and cutting, with the marker checked so we get the most out of every metre.
Sewing
Lines sized to the order. The first garment off each line is checked before the rest of the batch runs.
Checking
During sewing rather than only at the end, so a problem is fixed while the machine is still set up for it.
Packing
Labelled, tagged and packed the way your warehouse wants it, then shipped.
Lines sized to the order, not one line forced to fit every job.
Where a machine beats a person.
Automated cutting
Cutting tables with nesting software, so we use more of every metre of fabric — which on a large order is real money.
Digital patterns
Every approved block is stored and versioned. A repeat order starts from the pattern that shipped last time, not a reconstruction.
Traceability
Bundles are tracked from cutting to packing, so we can tell you which line and which day made any garment in the shipment.
3D sampling
Virtual samples for shape and print placement before anything is cut. It saves a round of samples and a lot of air freight.
We wash our own clothes before you do.
Fabric and finished garments are washed, stretched, rubbed and measured before we approve them, because most complaints come from what happens after the first wash rather than from what the garment looked like on the rail.
Garments are checked at the cutting table, on the line, and again before they are packed.
Come and see it.
Buyers are welcome to walk the floor before there is an order. Most do.
