Our Process
From First Idea to
Final Product.
A clear, collaborative process that takes your idea from concept through design, development and production.
What Services We Provide
1.Design and Product Development
From concept and design through to production-ready product development.
We bring collections to life from the initial idea through to a fully developed product. This includes concept and mood development, colour palettes, range planning, design sketches, fabric and trim direction, product development, sampling, fit and refinement, always ensuring the collection feels cohesive and true to your brand.
2.Tech Packs, Specifications & Grading
Detailed, factory-ready documentation for accurate product development and production.
We create complete technical packages that give manufacturers everything they need to accurately develop your product. From technical CADs and construction details to BOMs, measurements, specification sheets and full-size grading, every detail is clearly documented and ready for factory use.
3.Trend Forecasting & Catwalk Analysis
Global runway and trend insights to shape clear direction for future collections.
We research and analyse global runways, emerging trends, colour, silhouettes, key items and fabrics to identify what’s coming next. Our tailored trend reports turn this research into clear, relevant direction for your brand and future collections.
4.Offshore Manufacturing & Production Management
End-to-end management from sampling through to bulk production.
We manage the entire offshore manufacturing process, acting as the key point of contact between your brand and the factory. From manufacturer sourcing, sampling and fit through to costings, critical paths, purchase orders, quality control and bulk production, we oversee each stage to ensure your product is executed correctly, on time and ready for shipment.
