Product development

Fashion trends move faster than ever, so having the right style at the right time is critical.

Designed with you

You work closely with our design team in the UK and our R&D centre in Dongguan, China, so we can develop products unique to your needs and relevant to the trends in your market.

Our focus

Focus is critical to how we work. By concentrating on a few product areas, we build strong skills throughout the company and support our brand partners better.

Raw to bleach: wash techniques developed with labs in Italy and Spain, finished in our laundries in South East Asia.

Laundry

Great washing is the difference between a good jean and a great one.

Developed in Europe, finished in Asia

Our laundry technicians develop new washing techniques with laboratories and chemical companies in Italy and Spain, then bring them back to our washing plants in South East Asia, where raw denim becomes a finished jean.

Technology and people

Great washing doesn't happen by chance or overnight. It comes from hard work, investment in the latest washing technology, great collaborations and great people, giving every jean its own identity.

How we work

As a vertically integrated production and sourcing group, we cover design, development, sourcing, production, logistics and financing. Take a style from trend research to your warehouse, or use only the steps you need.

  1. Trend research and design

    Our designers research trends and turn them into new styles for you.

  2. Sales

    We agree the styles, price and quantities with you, and confirm the delivery plan.

  3. Pattern and grading

    Patterns are made for each style, then graded across your full size range.

  4. Cutting

    Fabric is inspected first, then cut accurately to the graded patterns.

  5. Sewing

    Our production lines sew and assemble each style to your exact specification.

  6. Laundry

    Washing and finishing give every jean its look, from raw to bleach.

  7. Trim and inspection

    Threads are trimmed, then garments pass quality checks and metal detection.

  8. Packing and shipping

    Orders are packed to your requirements and shipped from each factory's port.

Responsibility

We are committed to bringing new, more sustainable materials and processes into our manufacturing: better for the environment, and safer for the people who live and work around it.

Greener chemistry

Together with Garmon Italy, we are bringing new, greener chemical solutions into our washing operations across South East Asia. It is part of our aim to bring more green into an indigo world.

Ethical trading

We believe people are our greatest asset, and that fair, long-term partnerships are the only way to grow sustainably. We care passionately about our people and partners: without them, we wouldn't be who we are.

Accreditations

We hold ethical accreditations from three independent inspection bodies:

  • SGS
  • Intertek
  • Bureau Veritas

Our story

We set out in 1998 to build a world-class manufacturer with a simple idea: do it just that bit differently from the rest of the industry.

From the very start, we knew the difference would come from our love of what we do and the way we do business. That still means long-term, fair relationships that work for both sides: with the brands we make for, and with the people who make their clothes.

Today, from our operations across South East Asia, we make more than a million garments a month, and we are fortunate to work with some of the best fashion brands in the world.
