Start with an existing pattern
Explore existing pattern references, then adapt a starting style to your material, target sizes and fit requirements.
Browse existing pattern references ↗FABRIC IN USE
From fabric to garment.
DRAPE · CUT · FIT
See how your fabric takes shape. Review its drape, movement and fit. Make choices with a sample in hand, refine the details through sampling, and agree fabric and finish for production.
Garment development, by project.
Choose a starting point. Develop your garment.
Denim & trouser development
Start with a straight, wide or curved silhouette. Discuss rise, length, ease, fabric and wash direction from a design or sample, and review the details through pattern and sample development.
Discuss jeans & trousers ↗Start with your own design
Develop tops, skirts, dresses, outerwear or coordinated looks from your drawings, references or samples. Begin with the intended wearer and use, then discuss materials, construction and sampling.
Develop your design or sample ↗
Bra Top development
Choose your sleeve preference and one of sixteen neckline and shoulder references, then develop top length, fabric, support and fit — or bring your own design.
Explore Bra Top development ↗Explore possibilities, from pattern to product.
Compare silhouette, placement and layering, then develop the direction around your brief.

We work towards: Match manufacturing, communicate quality requirements and coordinate production and delivery to the agreed scope.
YOUR DEVELOPMENT BRIEF
Start with your design or sample. Define the material and garment brief.
DESIGN · BODY · MATERIAL
Develop the fit for the people you want to serve.
Body proportions, sizing conventions and fit preferences vary across target markets. Chinese, European, US, Japanese and Korean dress-form and sizing references are available. We work with your brand size chart and target wearer to develop the pattern, ease and grading.
中国 / CHINA欧洲 / EUROPE美国 / USA日本 / JAPAN韩国 / KOREA
Define the target wearer
Market, garment category, size range and preferred fit guide the reference data.
Let body and cloth inform the pattern
Proportion, stretch, drape and movement needs guide the ease in the pattern.
Fit the sample, then establish specifications
Review wear, movement and the complete outfit, then approve adjustments and establish sizing and grading rules.
CUSTOM BUTTONS & TRIMS
Let the garment guide the button.
Placement, fabric thickness, fastening and brand character guide form, size, weight and finish. Compare material and sample directions, then review physical samples, custom details and tooling.
Zinc alloy
Form, relief, brand detail, finish and fastening construction.
Button materials and details.
Discuss zinc alloy ↗
Mother-of-pearl & shell
Shell type, lustre, thickness, diameter and holes; Japanese sourcing and processing can be discussed.
Shell type, lustre and appearance are confirmed through physical samples.
Discuss mother-of-pearl & shell ↗
Injection-moulded resin & tooling
Custom forms, colour and brand details, through tooling, injection moulding and sample review.
Material and form reference; discuss tooling and sampling for your design.
Discuss injection-moulded resin & tooling ↗Confirm all forms, colours, dimensions and performance against selected samples and project specifications.
MATERIAL INTO EVERYDAY LIFE
A little landscape. Made to travel with you.
Explore how fabric can take a smaller, everyday form through charm and bag design studies. Jacquard denim and blended plaid are examples; material selection and development follow the intended use.
Origami, Garden, Animals and Christmas charms open up new material possibilities.
Explore charms & bags ↗BEFORE WE BEGIN
Clarity before commitment.
Can we start without a full specification?
Yes. Start with the product, desired hand and available references, then define which material and process questions need validation.
How are sample costs, timing and minimums agreed?
They depend on the substrate, process, colourways and quantity. Agree the scope before confirming a quotation and schedule.
How are quality requirements defined?
Start with intended use and delivery market. Agree the approved sample, specifications and relevant testing or review requirements, and record the decisions in project documents.
Can the project extend to apparel or footwear?
Garment, upper and product construction development can be discussed per project. Assess material and process suitability through samples before agreeing the next scope.
FROM LINE TO SILHOUETTE
From line to silhouette.
Understand the design, read the cloth and fit the complete outfit. Detailed cutting studies and sample comparisons can be reviewed face to face around your project.
Explore cut and fit development ↗Jacquard and wash, developed from your design.
Develop fabric through motif, weave and wash trials, then take denim or other trousers forward around your silhouette, sizing and use.
Define the fabric direction.
Develop colour, pattern, fibre, structure, hand and finishing for the intended use, then confirm the fabric and its production specification.
A CLEAR FIRST STEP
Start with a clearly scoped development task.
Tell us the product, market, quantity and timing you have in mind. Together we define the materials and development scope, then discuss sampling, tooling or making costs and the plan. Start with a fabric, one garment sample or a set of trims.
Approval basis: fabric or garment samples, selected trims, size and appearance specifications, and agreed review and delivery items.
