For ten years I worked on the pattern and production side of womenswear. I ran my own label and presented two collections at London Fashion Week with Fashion Scout, after working on design and production for other brands. Having been the brand that places the sample orders is how I learned which notes a factory follows, and which ones come back as a question three weeks later.
A moving strip of works and press photographs. Drag left or right to browse, or activate a photograph to expand it. The strip keeps moving after you release; keyboard focus pauses it.
You send a brief for one style: a short questionnaire and a sketch or clear reference. I review each request and follow up if anything is missing. Work does not start until I approve the request. It is not an instant booking. You receive a fixed quote within 24 hours of the brief. After you confirm, I build the 3D sample so you can approve look and fit. If you ordered the factory tech pack, I write it from that approved sample.
You get a fixed quote within 24 hours of sending your brief. A 3D sample usually takes about 3 working days, and the full package (3D sample plus factory tech pack) about 7. I confirm the exact timing for your style when you accept the quote.
The €190 3D virtual sample is paid in full on confirmation. For the €490 sample with factory tech pack, half is due on confirmation and half on delivery of the factory tech pack.
A sketch or a clear reference of the garment, and notes on the style: what it is, the base size you want to work from, and any fabric or construction decisions you have already made. The more specific the brief, the fewer questions come back before the quote.
A 3D virtual sample is the garment built in 3D so you can approve look and fit before anyone cuts fabric. A factory tech pack is the set of pages a workroom sews from: lead, flats, construction, seams, spec, BOM, labels, colourways and grade rules. You can order the sample on its own, or the sample plus the pack.
