TOUCH BASE WITH US
After submitting your enquiry, we will discuss about your project requirements and send you an order form link to submit your designs.
DESIGN SUBMISSION
Once we receive your submission, we will work out and send you a custom price estimate for your project.
PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
Don’t have a tech pack? No problem—we can draft and design one for you. The techpack will contain technical information, details and instructions that will be relayed to the factories for manufacturing your garments.
SOURCING
After the price estimate is accepted, we will require you to send us samples for fitting and sizing references. We will begin the sourcing process to find suitable fabrics and trims for your designs and will send them to you for selection.
CREATION OF SAMPLES
While the sourcing is underway, our in-house design team will help to finalise your details and develop tech packs for your designs. We will send these tech packs to you for your confirmation before starting on the samples. Do note that as everything is made from scratch, it usually takes 2 rounds of sample to get all the details right and ready for bulk production.
BULK PRODUCTION
Once you are happy with the samples, we will commence on bulk production after we received your approved samples and downpayment.
QUALITY CHECKS & CONTROL
When the bulk production is complete, our quality control team will inspect the products to ensure there are no issues. We will mend pieces and correct any issues before the products are sent to the packaging department.
PACKING & SHIPPING
We’ve come to the final part! In this leg, we will help you handle the shipping paperwork and arrange for your products to be shipped to your doorstep. This stage is where the final payment for the balance and shipping will be required before we ship your products.
