A fabric brief,
not a guess.

- Weight / GSM
- Share your target grams per square meter. Available weights are confirmed against the fabric selection.
- Handfeel & surface
- Describe the feel you want: soft, structured or textured. A physical reference helps make it specific.
- Measurements

Sampling: around 15 days
Standard samples usually take around 15 days after design confirmation and payment. Complex designs may need 20–30 days; confirm material availability and the sample scope first.
Approve the sample
Review fit, neckline, fabric, artwork placement and the appearance after any wash. Record changes and confirm the final specification before production.
Bulk: around 30 days
Agree the production start date against payment, approved specifications and material readiness. Bulk production is usually around 30 days; special finishes and order details may change the schedule.
These are planning estimates. Sample revisions and transport are separate parts of the schedule. Tell us the destination and required arrival date so shipping can be reviewed. See how the development process works.
