ONE PARTNER, THREE WAYS TO BEGIN

From your first product to your next collection.

Choose the support that matches your stage. Quantities, timing, production location and deliverables are confirmed for your project; there is no universal minimum or automatic commitment to bulk production.

01

Private Label Production

Develop products and collections under your own brand, with support from product direction to production.

Plan your own collection
02

Sample Production

Turn your brief into physical samples and agreed technical files. Review fit, materials and finish before scaling.

Explore sample development
03

Bulk Production

Produce first runs and repeat orders around an approved product standard, feasible quantities and agreed quality checks.

Sample Development Package

What your package includes

One style · one base size · one main colour · two physical samples · one revision round

Physical samples

  • Initial prototype to review fit, construction and materials.
  • One revised physical sample after your consolidated feedback. If the first prototype is approved without changes, the second piece is an approved copy.
  • Measurement and workmanship checks, photos and a sample-review meeting.

Technical handover

  • Final base-size pattern as a printable PDF; knit construction and measurements where a cutting pattern does not apply.
  • Front/back technical views, base-size measurements and tolerances, materials and trims, key construction and decoration details.
  • PDF technical pack, editable measurement/material tables and a dated sample and revision record.

Material sourcing support and the stated sample-material allowance are included. The allowance covers both samples together. Any overage, specialist material or supplier minimum is quoted before purchase.

After full payment, you receive the agreed project-specific final pattern and technical files and may use them with other manufacturers. There is no additional reuse licence fee. Supplier-owned machine programs and pre-existing tools are identified separately.

One clear revision round

Send one consolidated list of comments on the first prototype. We refine fit, proportions and finishing within the agreed design direction and make one revised sample. New silhouettes, material systems or additional rounds are quoted first. Corrections of our work that does not meet the agreed specification do not use your revision allowance.

A consistent scope. Pricing by complexity.

Starting fees per style include the core package above. We assess construction and materials, then confirm a fixed project total before payment. Specialist projects and non-apparel textiles are reviewed individually.

Development is paid 100% upfront after the written scope and agreement are accepted. Shipping and applicable taxes are separate. No automatic credit against bulk production. Prototype, revision and delivery dates are set after material and capacity checks; courier time is additional.

Optional services and clear extra fees →

Would you prefer to review materials in person?

An atelier visit can be arranged around your project. We confirm the location, agenda, availability and any additional fees before booking. Travel and hospitality are not included in the standalone package. The Co-Creation Experience has its own separate scope.

Questions about your development package

Do I need a tech pack to start?

No. Send an idea, sketch, reference or existing files. We agree the brief, base size, fit direction and material requirements before cutting.

Are XS–XL sizes included?

The core package develops one base size. Extra-size grading is optional. For a Standard style with M as base, four extra sizes cost €180. Physical size-set samples are separate.

Can I use the files with another manufacturer?

Yes. After full payment, you receive the agreed final project-specific files and can use them with another manufacturer. Printable PDF patterns and a base-size tech pack are included; DXF and specialist source programs are separately scoped.

Does the revised sample approve bulk production?

Development does not authorise a production run. We record what is approved and what remains open. Bulk materials, size grading, tests and any pre-production approval sample are confirmed before a separate production order.

What if I want more changes?

One consolidated revision round is included. Additional preferences or a new direction are quoted before further work. Errors against agreed specifications are corrected without charging a customer revision.

What does the material allowance cover?

The category allowance covers sample fabrics and standard trims for the two pieces together. Special materials, overages and supplier minimums are disclosed and approved before purchase.

How and when do I pay?

Development is paid in full after accepting the written scope and agreement, before work starts. Optional costs and shipping are identified before you commit. Bulk receives a separate offer.

When will I receive the samples?

Your quote gives separate targets for the first prototype and revised sample after material and capacity checks. Feedback and courier time are included in project planning; there is no single guaranteed timetable for every garment.

FIVE DECISIONS

How development moves

  1. 01

    Send a short brief about the style or capsule and the materials you already have.

  2. 02

    We review feasibility, specialist needs and the proposed scope before any payment.

  3. 03

    Approve the written scope and fee. Your Project Owner confirms the first technical review.

  4. 04

    Review physical samples and make fit, material and construction decisions with the team.

  5. 05

    Receive the agreed final sample and documented handover, then decide separately whether to proceed to production.

TWO DEVELOPMENT OPTIONS

Choose the right way to begin.

Choose the per-style development package or the separate Co-Creation Experience for up to three coordinated styles. Each route has its own written scope.

Pay in two stages
  1. €2,000 after feasibility review and acceptance of the written scope, when development begins.
  2. €2,900 when you arrive in Bursa, before the workshop begins.

You don't need every technical answer before you start. Bring your idea, references, sketches or tech pack. We guide the decisions, coordinate the complex work and help you enjoy seeing your collection take shape. The agreed capsule defines the scope.

  • Up to three coordinated apparel styles under one collection direction, with one base size and one principal colourway developed per style.
  • Product direction, technical design, base patterns, specifications as needed, and fabric and trim direction with standard sourcing coordination.
  • Physical development samples across active styles, with fit and construction review and further physical iterations where technically required.
  • Iterative fit and technical refinement within the agreed development direction, plus one final physical sample for each agreed style.
  • A dedicated Project Owner, shared Project Room, WhatsApp milestone contact, weekly development reviews and one included workshop day in Bursa.
  • The experience welcomes up to two guests and includes up to three hotel nights. We confirm the room arrangement with you before booking. A guided Istanbul sightseeing day is included.
  • A versioned production handover with current specifications, sample references, decisions and any open production assumptions.

New styles, major direction changes and specialist technical work receive a separate scope before they begin.
