We are committed to ethical fair trade practices to prevent the exploitation of workers or natural resources in the manufacturing of clothing.
Our factories do not have forced labour practices, which means that no one is forced to work overtime against their wishes and if they do work overtime, there is an extra overtime pay allowance.
The manufacturing facilities are equipped with proper lighting & sanitation facilities and the working conditions and equipment are safe as possible to prevent work-related injuries.
Some examples are that there are no exposed electrical wiring/sockets, there is sufficient space between workstations, and safety equipment like steel mesh and gloves and facemasks are available for use.
Yes, we do work with third-party suppliers and service providers on some processes like printing, embroidery, labels and packaging.
We are not able to allow factory visits due to the confidential agreements with some of our clients.
We offer custom washes like softener, vintage, sand wash, custom colour dyeing and distressing techniques.
Please enquire with us to check if the technique is suitable for the design and fabric.
Yes offer tie-dye services.
Pattern development is the process of making templates of different parts of a garment.
They are created in one base size and will be used as the template to cut out fabric to create the samples.
Grading is the process of using a base sample size to create additional smaller or larger sizes.
Grading does not create a new silhouette and just increases or decreases the size of the original silhouette proportionally.
Garment measurements refer to the measurement of different measurement points of a sewn garment.
Size charts are usually body measurements of average body shape for each different size and can have variance due to different body shapes.
Most garment measurements are bigger than the wearer’s body measurement as they will need to have allowance in order for the wearer to put on the garment and allow for movement.
You can get samples made in every size, but there will be additional charges for each sample created.
We preshrink all fabrics before cutting & sewing them for bulk production, to reduce shrinkage to acceptable levels when you received and wash the final product.
Most orders are made using in-stock fabrics from wholesalers and mills.
Due to the time gap when the fabrics are purchased for sample and production, there may be some tonal (1-2 shades darker or lighter) difference in colour and fabric weight (+/- 10%).
This is due to fabrics being produced, dyed & processed in different batches. This also applies to custom dye jobs as the fabric bought for samples and production may be from different production batches.
As we source stock fabrics, they will come in colours that are determined by the fabric suppliers.
Also, the colour options may differ on different fabrics as they may come from different suppliers.
Usually, the number of colour options will range from 15 to 60 colours, depending on the popularity of the fabric. Popular & common fabrics like jerseys for t-shirts and terry for hoodies will come in more colours.
It is possible for fabrics to have a specific colour, but it will require a custom dye job.
Custom dye jobs will incur more costs and time.
Furthermore, custom dye jobs have a higher minimum order as a bigger amount is required for an efficient dyeing process.
The process for sample-making is:
Pattern Development
Purchase of fabrics & trims for samples
Cut & Sew of sample
Printing / Embroidery
Quality Control Check
Do note that tech packs have to be finalized and completed before starting on the pattern development.
