FAQ: Do you work with startups/entrepreneurs?

Yes! We work with companies both small and large. We also work with founders and/or inventors who need help creating their idea.

Do you sew samples/prototype?

Yes! We have various sampling options both domestic and overseas. We primarily work with our overseas vendor who offer sample development services and can then transition into production when ready. If US based sampling and production is preferred, we can offer that too.

Can you provide advice on fabrics?

Of course, we are experts in cut and sew construction. We have a library of textiles and have more than a decade of experience with wovens, leathers, stretch fabrics, etc.

What do I need to provide for the design process to start?

We should start with an NDA. Then we hope you can provide a design brief for the project in question. We can provide a design brief template if needed.
