Apparel Manufacturing for Fashion Designers
Design-led brands usually arrive with a clear idea and an unclear production plan. The work then is to protect the idea while making it producible at a price that supports the retail figure you have in mind.
Turning a Design Into a Specification
The first step is to separate what is essential from what is expensive. Silhouette, fabric hand feel and the details that customers touch decide whether the garment reads as intended; internal finishes that no one sees are where cost can be removed without changing the piece.
From there, fabrics, trims, measurements and decoration placement are written into a specification, and a sample is cut against it. Sampling typically takes around two weeks and is quoted separately and upfront.
First Drops Without Overcommitting
Our standard minimum is 100 pieces per style, per color, with sizes mixable inside one colourway. For a first collection that usually means fewer colours, deeper size runs, and adding the remaining colourways on reorder once one has proven itself.
Where a first run is smaller than the standard minimum, tell us early: trial quantities below the minimum can sometimes be agreed and are assessed per style according to the fabric and the processes involved.
Where Development Time Goes
Pattern development, wash development and decoration testing are the three stages that consume most of the calendar, and each one happens before bulk. Getting them right on the first pass is what keeps a launch date credible.
Bulk production typically takes three to four weeks after the sample is approved, and reorders carry the same minimum, so a bestseller can be restocked without renegotiating the order size.

Minimums and Timelines
Our standard minimum is 100 pieces per style, per color, with sizes mixable inside one colourway and each colour treated as its own order. Sampling typically takes around two weeks and is quoted separately and upfront; it may be credited against the bulk order only where the bulk quantity is large enough.
Bulk production typically takes three to four weeks after the sample is approved, and reorders carry the same minimum. Shipping by sea, air or land is quoted as its own line, so the transit cost is visible before the goods are finished.
