Begin with the information you have
A reference image, existing garment, sketch or technical pack can help start a discussion. Share the target customer, intended fit, key design features and what can remain flexible.
Development may include material or construction review, swatches, a garment sample and written approval points, depending on the project scope.
Understand the quantity routes
Standard production starts at 60 pieces per order. Colour allocation and the size mix are reviewed separately for the product and production plan.
For quantities below 60 pieces per order, the Startup Brand Program can review development and sampling options for your product, yarn and trims.
Make costs and responsibilities clear
For small quantities, any additional labour or coordination should be described for the actual project, with its scope and charging basis. Development, production, trims, packaging and delivery are listed according to the quotation coverage.
A cost already included in one price line should not be counted again. No example project creates a universal price for another style.
Move from brief to production approval
Clarify the brief, review materials, confirm the sample, record specifications and agree the production responsibilities before an order.
For the latest case notes, eligibility conditions and application route, see the Startup Brand Program page.
Review the current Startup Brand Program.
See its quantity conditions, two separately documented project examples and project-specific fee explanation before sending your brief.
Discuss your project →A customer enquiry: plan the first product before the collection
A new brand approached us with a concept for a first cardigan, an expected small initial run and a request to compare several quantities. Its brief did not yet contain final measurements or materials. The preliminary response separated the sample and potential bulk costs and identified further specifications to resolve. This is an enquiry and estimate, not a completed development or a guarantee of eligibility.
