Before your first enquiry

A few questions,
answered

Helpful details for planning your next clothing project.

Can I start without a complete tech pack?

Yes. Start with a sample, sketches, inspiration images or an early concept. Share the details you have, and we can discuss the development work needed to define your product.

Can I use a catalogue style as my starting point?

Yes. Add the styles you like to your enquiry and explain the changes you have in mind. Fabric, colour, sizing and branding options need to be reviewed for the individual project.

Can I discuss a sample before committing to production?

Include your sampling needs in your brief. The sample process, any charges and the approval steps should be agreed before moving ahead.

What are the minimum order quantities and lead times?

These need to be confirmed for your products, materials, quantities and development requirements. Share an estimated quantity and preferred timeline so they can be discussed together.

What if I already have labels or packaging artwork?

Mention these in your brief and describe what is ready. Artwork specifications, materials and how they will be used can then be reviewed as part of the project.

How do I share a tech pack or physical sample?

Start by telling us what you have and what you need. File-sharing instructions or sample delivery arrangements can be agreed during the initial conversation.
