Who we work with

Three ways in

Emerging brand

First style, first run. We cost it with you before you commit, and keep the sample loop short.

Start with a sample

Established brand

Repeat programmes and seasonal drops, held to a quality bar that does not move between runs.

Check capacity

Corporate

Volume, a fixed date and brand guidelines to follow. Packed, labelled and shipped to your spec.

Services

Everything between a sketch and a carton.

Design & development

From a reference photo or a mood board to a buildable style, costed as we go.

Dimensioned drawings, construction notes, a bill of materials and a stitch spec.

Yours to keep, and portable to any factory.

The atelier

One roof in Sidi Ghanem.

Cutting, skiving, edge finishing, assembly, closing, finishing and packing all sit in the same building. Nothing goes out to a broker, so a question about stitch count is answered the same day.
