Pre-Production Consultation

We will discuss what you want to produce. You can bring us your sketches, materials and/or inspiration for us to see the full scope of your vision. We will give tips and necessary feedback as to what will be functional and what will work in today’s market.

 

 

Sourcing

We have been able to connect with wholesalers both in Nigeria and abroad to ensure a solid network of vendors who can provide our clients with the materials necessary to run a successful production whether it be fabric, notions, trimmings and/or labels for your garments.

Sample Making

We will produce a prototype in the sample size of your choice based on the sketch you give us out of muslin. Then we conduct a fitting with a model to see what needs to be adjusted either in person or on video call. This sample can also be sent to you for approval and the notes can be sent back to us. When you approve the prototype, we will move forward with the next step.

 

 

Pattern Making

After we have the approved prototype and you have decided to run with the production, we will then have the pattern made in the sample size then graded to the other sizes you wish to produce. These patterns are for you to keep and for potential reproduction.

Production

We will create a timeline for production in which we will give you updates on the progression. The minimum amount time allotted for production is 4 weeks depending on the size of the order.

Quality goods is something we pride ourselves far beyond quantity. Therefore, we will have quality control managers to ensure that your order us made to your specifications. Inspections will occur twice during production and once more after production is completed.
