YOUR FIRST DENIM PROJECT

An idea is enough
to start a conversation.

A photo, a favourite pair of jeans, or a rough idea. We help you work out the materials, details and next step.

LET’S MAKE THE NEXT STEP SIMPLE

Start with what you know.

Choose what feels closest. Skip anything you haven’t decided — you can check and change everything at the end.

Nothing is sent until you choose to submit

Prefer to read? See the six-step project checklist.
  1. Starting point: reference photos, a tech pack, a garment or an idea.
  2. Product: choose a category and silhouette, or ask for help identifying it.
  3. References: mark what to keep or change. Measurements and physical references are discussed before sampling.
  4. Materials and details: describe the fabric feel, stretch and extras. Belts, collars and special hardware may require external supplier checks.
  5. Quantity and budget: standard MOQ is 50 pieces per style and colour. Trials from 30 need project review. An initial estimate requires a reliable cost basis; unpriced items remain separate.
  6. Review and enquire: check your editable summary, add your contact details and submit it, or review a WhatsApp message before sending.

YOU DON’T NEED THE RIGHT WORDS

Show us the part you mean.

Circle a detail. Tell us what should stay or change. We help turn that into questions a production partner can act on.

1

“I like this high waist.”

Keep the waist direction. Confirm the actual rise and fit using measurements or a reference garment.

2

“Could the leg be a little narrower?”

Point to the area first. We then discuss the measurement change and check it through the sample.

The first sample has a job to do.

Agree whether you are checking fit, fabric, wash or special details. Unconfirmed parts and any substitutes need to be identified before sampling.

A FEW THINGS WORTH KNOWING

Plain answers.
No production dictionary needed.

Technical terms can wait. The important part is understanding what you are choosing.

What is a tech pack? Do I need one?

It is a document describing the design, measurements, materials and details. You can start a conversation without one. Photos, a sketch or a physical garment can help identify what still needs to be defined.

What does “50 pieces per style and colour” mean?

One style in one colour starts at 50 pieces, with mixed sizes available. Two styles in two colours at 50 each means 200 pieces in total. Trials from 30 per style and colour need a project review.

What are trims?

Think buttons, zippers, rivets, labels and decorative details. You may also want a belt, detachable collar or chain. If you don’t know the name, circle it in a photo. Special items may need external sourcing.

Can I get a price from a photo?

Sometimes an initial range is possible if there is enough information and a reliable cost basis. We explain the assumptions and unpriced items. Special fabric, collars, belts or hardware may need supplier checks before a useful estimate or formal quotation is possible.

How long will sampling take?

The current target is 5–7 days after key development details and the material route are confirmed. Special sourcing, wash trials and revisions can take longer. Shipping time is separate. Agree the working schedule for your project before starting.
