The textile sourcing process starts with the product and material decisions you already have. Add design, sampling or partner production where needed, with the scope, costs and approval points agreed in writing.
Before purchasing, approve the item or material specification and cost. Before making a custom sample, agree the design inputs and what the sample must test. Before bulk production, confirm the reference version, quantity split, packaging and order terms. Before forwarding goods, review the agreed checks and any issues that require supplier follow-up.
Keep changes in one dated record so the studio, buyer and supplier work from the same approved details. A changed fabric, dimension or color can affect cost, material availability and the sample reference. We clarify the effect and obtain agreement before the additional work or revised order proceeds.
Send a reference, product or supplier link, sketch or tech pack, together with an estimated quantity and destination. Tell us which details matter most: fabric feel, stitching, fit, finish or packaging.
We clarify whether you need sourcing, design, sampling, OEM production or a combination. The written quote separates applicable services and external costs, with deliverables, approvals, payment stages and responsible parties.
For sourcing, we review available products and materials. For ODM, our designers prepare the agreed design files. For OEM, we review your specifications with a manufacturing partner. Sample costs and revision rounds are agreed before development.
Confirm the sample or purchasing specification, materials, colors, quantities, packaging, quality checks and delivery plan. We coordinate agreed collections and supplier payments. Bulk production starts after the required approvals and payment milestones.
Our team checks received sourced goods and smaller orders, or visits the factory for bulk production. Findings are checked against the agreed requirements. We follow up with suppliers on returns, replacements or corrective work where needed.
We coordinate the agreed pack-out and freight-forwarder handoff, then share available shipping information. Freight, insurance, duties, taxes and destination charges are identified in the quote where applicable; transport timing depends on the selected route.
You can commission design, source a material or review a sample before deciding on a bulk order. Minimum quantities depend on the product, materials and production process. A sample or design commission does not commit you to a production order.

Fabric feel, stitching, measurements and finishing matter. We agree what will be checked for your product and order.
For sourced products, samples and smaller orders received by us, our team checks the goods before forwarding them to you. If we find an issue, we contact the supplier to arrange a return, replacement or another agreed solution.
Receipt → agreed checks → issue follow-up → forwarding
For bulk factory production, our team visits the factory to inspect the order. We agree the inspection scope in advance and record any issues and required follow-up before shipment.
Factory visit → inspection record → corrective action → shipment review
Inspection scope, coverage and acceptance criteria are agreed for each order. Independent third-party inspections and laboratory testing can be quoted separately.
