Can we create custom designs that align with your brand’s aesthetic? Yes. We specialize in translating your creative vision into physical garments that match your brand identity 100%.
Whether you are a minimalist streetwear label requiring heavyweight 400gsm fleece or a heritage denim brand looking for vintage washes, our production process is built to adapt to your specific “handwriting.”
Here is exactly how we ensure our factory output matches your brand’s mood board.
1.The Alignment Phase: Translating “Vibe” into Data
The biggest cause of production errors is vagueness. Terms like “soft,” “vintage,” or “boxy” mean different things to different people. To align with your aesthetic, we convert subjective ideas into objective manufacturing data.
We align with your brand using three key tools:
- Visual Identity Calibration: We ask for a “North Star” sample—a physical garment from a competitor or a previous collection that represents the quality and feel you want.
- Pantone Matching: We do not guess colors. We use Pantone TCX (Cotton) codes to ensure the lab dips match your palette exactly.
- Fabric Weight & Hand-feel: We define fabric not just by type (e.g., Denim), but by weight (12oz vs 14oz) and composition (100% Cotton vs 98/2 Elastane).
Pro Tip for Brands: When briefing a factory, avoid adjectives. Use references. Instead of saying “I want a cool vintage blue,” say “I want a stone wash similar to the Levi’s 501 ’93 Straight.”
2.Our Design Capabilities: ODM vs. OEM
Depending on your internal resources, we offer two distinct pathways to achieve your aesthetic.
| Feature | OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) | ODM (Original Design Manufacturer) |
| Best For | Brands with experienced designers. | Startups or brands needing creative support. |
| Who Designs? | You. You provide the completed Tech Pack. | We Do. You provide a mood board/sketch; we create the design. |
| Customization | 100% Custom (Fit, Fabric, Trims). | semi-Custom (Based on our existing library). |
| Speed | Slower (Requires new patterns). | Faster (Uses proven blocks/fits). |
| Cost | Higher development costs. | Lower development costs. |
If you have a strict aesthetic but lack technical designers, our ODM team can create a collection for you that looks like it came from your own studio.
3.The Technical Process: Ensuring Consistency
To guarantee the final product looks like your design, we follow a strict Sampling Protocol.
Step 1: The Tech Pack Review
Before cutting a single thread, we digitize your design. We review your Bill of Materials (BOM) to ensure every button, rivet, and zipper pull aligns with your price point and style.
Step 2: Fabric Sourcing
We don’t just use stock fabric. If your brand aesthetic is “Sustainable Luxury,” we source GOTS-certified organic cotton or recycled polyester. If your aesthetic is “Raw Heritage,” we source selvedge denim from premium mills.
Step 3: The “Golden Sample” (PP Sample)
We produce a Pre-Production (PP) sample. This is the final test. You must approve this sample for:
- Fit: Does it drape correctly?
- Wash/Finish: Is the distressing natural?
- Hand-feel: Is the fabric soft/stiff enough?
We do not start mass production until the PP sample is signed and sealed. This ensures the 500th unit looks exactly like the 1st.
4.Case Study: Adapting to Different Aesthetics
We work with diverse clients. Here is how we pivot our production lines for different brand identities:
- Client A (Scandinavian Minimalism):
- Focus: Clean lines, hidden stitching, high-GSM fabrics, neutral tones.
- Our Solution: We used blind hems and sourced high-grade combed cotton to eliminate pilling, ensuring a sleek, premium look.
- Client B (Vintage Streetwear):
- Focus: Heavy distressing, oversized fits, acid washes.
- Our Solution: We utilized our laser-finishing technology to create consistent “worn-in” patterns and developed a custom oversized block pattern to get the “slouchy” fit perfect.
Finding a factory isn’t just about who can sew; it’s about finding a partner who can see what you see. By using precise Tech Packs, clear reference samples, and a rigorous sampling process, we ensure our custom designs align perfectly with your brand’s unique aesthetic.
