From artwork to delivery in one week

One set of trims, four processes, one delivery date

A woven label, an embroidered patch, a printed label and a cardboard hangtag usually travel four supply chains before they meet your cutting room. We quote them together, proof them together and ship them together — which is how a colour change stays a colour change instead of becoming three.

Six steps between your artwork and the carton

Nothing leaves the plant without a person looking at it. The steps below are the same whether the order is a 500-piece prototype run or a season-long programme.

  2. 02Pattern writingArtwork becomes a weaving or embroidery file, corrected in house the same day.

Equipment

Imported machinery, in-house pattern writing

87 machines — 74 of them imported from Switzerland, Japan and Germany — run alongside a 300-person team of pattern writers, designers, technicians and operators. Because pattern writing and design sit in the same plant as the looms, a corrected artwork does not wait for a third-party file exchange.
