Before we start.

Can we start from a reference photo?

Yes. Share the reference style and describe the fabric, fit and wash you want. Our team can discuss development requirements and sampling with you.

What is the minimum order quantity?

Minimum quantities depend on the style, fabric, wash and customization. Include your estimated quantity when you send your brief so the team can confirm the applicable requirements.

How long do sampling and production take?

Timing depends on the approved design, materials and production requirements. Confirm the sample plan and delivery schedule with the team before placing an order.

Can I buy an individual piece?

Visit the retail shop for styles with published sizes, prices and stock. Development examples are for discussing wholesale or custom projects.
