Process & timings
The 9 Phases
This method is as flexible as you need it to be. Each step will be dependent on the needs of your product and supply chain set up. Some steps can be skipped, some steps we’ll recommend extra time for – depending on your brand’s goals as you scale.
// weeks 1 - 2
Planning & design
Use our market research framework to find early signals, validate ideas, learn your customers desire, map and prove your “problem” and “solution”. Create a custom timeline so you can plan and execute in good time. Use our proprietary framework to create the “right” product. We’re creating a brand following and legacy, not just making nice clothes.
Deliverables:
Development roadmap, budget, market research, design brief and design sketches
// weeks 3 - 4
Materials & Sourcing
Access our network of contacts and resources. We will define your sustainability and supply chain requirements, and find you partners who’ll be a good fit for your unique needs and set up. We’re not just looking for vendors, we’re finding your key stakeholders who’s partnerships you’ll nourish as everyone works together mutually to grow.
Deliverables:
Supplier lists and introductions
// weeks 5 - 6
Technical
Dive into the technical details and flesh out every detail of your product intentionally. The strategy is to balance customer functionality, quality and cost. We’ll translate all the details so you’re able to hand off the sewing to your suppliers. We make the most reliable tech packs in the industry, they can be used in perpetuity to manufacture and scale.
Deliverables:
Tech packs
// weeks 7 - 8
RFQs, costing & first samples
Cost your idea so that your profit is planned and you have a realistic idea of costs and appropriate budget. Compare quotes from multiple sources and find the right supplier for you. We will onboard your chosen factory and hand off the tech packs to them. We will have them complete a first sample for you so we can see your version 1 IRL (the most fun step!)
Deliverables:
Supplier quotes, costings
// weeks 9 - 10
Test & Evaluate
We will fully review your first sample against our specifications, quality standards and all design briefs. If needed a fitting on a live fit model can be done. Any comments or improvements will be documented and submitted to suppliers for review. We use our honed evaluation method to keep iterations efficient and get to the approval stage ASAP.
Deliverables:
Test/fit sessions, sample evaluation forms
// weeks 11 - 12
Pre-production & beyond
We will execute on any pre-production tasks needed for a smooth and on time production run.
We will help you create your “block” or base styles, so that future development projects can stack (so you don’t have to start development from scratch each time). We will explore the “ecosystem” method (generates revenue) and the “bricks” method (cost saving) for new product development.
Deliverables:
Size set samples, salesman/photography samples, lab dips, strike offs,
Your Investment
It is important to realise that launching a new product is a large investment. But it is an investment with big rewards: a fresh design that solves a need for your customer, may just be the new lease of life you brand needs, or – just get things started with a bang!

“Minimal to no questions for the first sample. The result was spectacular!”
“The process is flawless. They...make the client feel understood, but also provide effective feedback. Belinda and her team were able to provide a top-notch document that was utilized overseas with minimal to no questions during the production of the first sample. I have had two other companies provide services for my tech pack and none completed the project--yet continued to charge me.
M. Bajric | Madicél
"Came out perfect the first time"
"The first sample was amazing I am so exited! I can’t believe how good it turned out. The fact that I didn’t need to make any changes to it, it just came out perfect the first time… is everything.
I wish I had found you earlier, I’ve wasted 6 or 7 years not knowing what to, or who to get help from. I just had no idea that someone like you existed. So happy to have found your team."
