Flexible Apparel Development Approach

Our turnkey product development approach can be adopted in whole or unbundled to fit your needs:

Project Overview

Evaluating fabric options, finishes and yarn, analyzing cloth, and aligning garment construction with your vision in order to produce a sample.

First Round Costing

Submitting a cost estimate based on product parameters for client review

Design and Sampling

Providing swatches for clients to choose from, developing finished pieces to determine the fabric’s feel and esthetics, and then looking at various patterns and colors

Final Approval

Planning and specifying trim such as the main label, hang tags, and all the sizing

Production Process

Setting a production plan and schedule based on fabric timeline and source

Packaging & Final Quality Control

Designing packaging and presentation to drive sales, fabric testing at independent lab, then in-factory assessment of fabric readiness to be cut, inspection points based on Acceptable Quality Limits, and random sampling inspection depending on quantity

Delivery & Customs

Handling import, trucking, shipping, preparing all Customs declarations, certifications to the country of origin, fiber content statements, compliance with the Flammability Act and all documents needed so goods go direct to store or warehouse once they arrive to the US
