Who we work with here
- Clothing and accessory brands developing new collections
- Wholesalers sourcing stock programs and fabrics
- Brands needing sampling, grading and production follow-up
What buyers in this category usually ask
- Can grafting samples from a sketch be trusted without a physical sample round?
- How do we buy small-batch fabric rolls (200–500m) with consistent dye lots?
- Who owns grading & fitting changes during sampling loops?
MOQs, sampling & typical lead times
Fabric: 500–1000 m per colorway; garment sampling: 1–10 pcs, 7–15 days; whole-collection programs need 60–90 days.
What we screen for
In-house pattern room vs outsourced, dye-lot documentation capability, sample-stocking speed, remote-buyer communication quality.
What gets checked on-site
- Pattern room sample precision
- Dye/finishing consistency
- Sewing line fit-checks records
Where it goes wrong
Dye-lot drift between repeat runs, late sampling loops, port-changes when both sampling and production extend beyond the calendar.
