Not sure where to start?

brand development

Whether you’re starting from scratch or refining an existing collection, our design consultations help you make confident decisions. We advise on silhouette, fabric sourcing, trims, construction, and market alignment to ensure your final product is both beautiful and commercially viable.

Pattern Drafting

We develop precise, production-ready digital patterns from your sketches, reference garments, measurements, or design concepts. Patterns are developed with fit, construction, and production in mind, with fit corrections and revisions available throughout the sampling process.

Sample Making & Prototypes

We create samples and prototypes to bring your designs to life and evaluate fit, construction, fabric, and finishing before moving into production. Following fittings, we can make pattern adjustments and sample revisions to refine the garment and achieve the desired fit and finish.

Sourcing

We connect you with trusted mills, suppliers, and distributors to find fabrics that align with your design vision, performance needs, and budget. Our network includes sustainable, organic, and specialty textile options, giving you access to materials that elevate your collection.

factory services

We help brands establish and manage production operations both domestically and internationally. From sourcing reliable manufacturing partners to overseeing quality control, timelines, and compliance, we ensure your production runs smoothly and meets the highest standards.

warehouse management

We offer secure warehousing solutions to store your products, keeping them organized & ready for fulfillment. We can manage, pack & ship, handling orders directly to your customers. Whether you need short-term storage or ongoing inventory management, we provide a streamlined solution so you can focus on your brand.
