What is the difference between your OEM and ODM service for accessories?

OEM and ODM — what actually differs

The difference is who creates the product. In OEM you supply the design and we build to it exactly; in ODM we take part in creating the design, advising on fit, fabric and construction to suit your customers.

This affects the starting documents: OEM usually begins with your tech pack or reference sample, while ODM can begin with a mood board, a brief, a target price and a few styles you like.

It also affects development time and cost. ODM involves more of our development work up front, while OEM is more direct once your specification is clear. Both are quoted according to your project rather than from a standard sheet.

Many clients mix the two, running standard styles through ODM to move quickly and signature pieces through OEM for exact control.

Tell us how much of the design you want to keep in-house and we will confirm the route and the next steps.

For either route, the clearer your starting information, the faster development moves. A short brief, a few reference images and a target price give us enough to quote and to propose a route.

Projects often combine the two: existing styles can be adapted through ODM to save development time, while the pieces that define your brand are built through OEM for exact control.
