What is Development?

We get asked these questions very frequently by start up designers, what is development and do I need it? and the answer is YES! Before we produce any product, we first need to create a mold(pattern) for it. The process is a little more intricate than it sounds. To help you understand what it is, see the video below the step by step process. Thanks to NICK VERREOS.

For those you are not good at sketches, no worries our team will help.

Our Clients

  • Love you guys for being the key to my success. I couldn't have done it without you. I almost walked away from what's now a multi-million dollar business, after going through hell with so many unprofessional development facilities. I guess the biggest lesson in my life is that I only had to be right once, so glad you were it. We’ve been at it for five years, and cheers to the next 5… "kisses"

  • I can't begin to thank the team for their incredible assistance and knowledge of the fashion business even outside of the manufacturing. Thank you for being super attentive and making sure I got all the tools and information to build my business. I was never charged for all the connection and sources that were provided to me, that’s unheard of.  We can't wait to to fly to LA for our spring season launch...
