    Our Story

We guide clients through concept, fit, sampling and production with a clear, collaborative process designed to create elevated, intentional products and a smooth path to market.

    What Sets Us Apart

    A Development Process Built for Small Brands

    Our workflow is designed to guide emerging brands with clarity. We break down each stage, explain technical decisions and keep communication organized so clients feel supported from concept through production.

    Hands On and Highly Collaborative

    We take on a limited number of clients each season so every brand receives personal attention. Each project has a dedicated point person who manages details, provides guidance and ensures a smooth, transparent process.

    Private Label and Custom Development Options

    We offer both private label and full custom development. Private label allows brands to start with proven silhouettes and materials, reducing cost and timelines, while custom development supports fully original designs built from the ground up.

    Commonly Asked Questions

    We collaborate with clients through a clear, organized and supportive process that is designed to make product development feel approachable for small and emerging brands. Every project begins with a kickoff conversation where we review the vision, confirm priorities and establish the scope of work. From there, we create a structured development plan that outlines key stages, timelines and deliverables so clients always understand what comes next. Each brand is paired with a dedicated point person who manages communication, tracks progress and coordinates with our internal patternmakers, technical designers and production partners. This keeps the experience streamlined and ensures that clients can rely on consistent guidance throughout the project. We stay closely connected through email updates, shared documents and scheduled check ins at important milestones such as fabric sourcing reviews, pattern approvals and sample fittings. Our collaboration is highly educational and transparent. We explain why certain decisions matter, how technical choices affect fit and performance and what steps are required to move from concept to production. Many founders are navigating product development for the first time, and we prioritize clarity so they feel confident and supported. During sampling and fit reviews, we walk clients through recommendations and outline the adjustments needed to refine the silhouette. We manage all communication with vendors and factories, source materials that align with the brand’s goals and provide clear pricing and production guidance. Clients are involved in all aesthetic and strategic decisions while we handle the technical and logistical details behind the scenes. We limit the number of projects we take on each season so we can offer a hands on, tailored experience. Our goal is to operate as an extension of each client’s team, offering thoughtful direction, premium execution and a reliable path to bringing elevated apparel to market.
