Sample Making

See the garment for real, try it on and decide what stays before you produce.

What a sample tells you

On paper, a style can look finished. Sewn up, you see how the fabric behaves, how the garment moves and whether every detail earns its place. Many designers add or remove parts of a style once they see the sample.

We sew womenswear and menswear samples, from simple tops and pants to tailored and occasion pieces, and agree fabric and finishing with you first.

Sample Making questions

Can you sew from a pattern made somewhere else?

Yes. We check it before cutting and flag anything that needs correcting.

What if I want changes after the sample?

We update the pattern, and if you are moving to production we can grade it and make markers too.

Do you make single garments for individuals?

Yes. One-off garments are welcome.
