Production

Our production, our control.

We manage production inside our own organisation — woven and denim — and hold the standard at every stage, from the approved sample through to the finished garment.

No figure appears on this page until it has been measured. Where one is missing, it is missing on purpose.

The thread

One order, followed end to end.

Design, sampling, sourcing, production and quality control sit inside one structure, so a decision taken at one stage is not renegotiated at the next. These are the eight stages every order passes through.

  1. 01

    Design and development

    We follow the market, work through your expectations and develop the product against your collection and your specification.

  2. 02

    Pattern and sample

    The pattern and sample department carries the product from the first idea through to final sample approval.

    Fabric and materials

    Fabric and trims are sourced from our own network of mills and suppliers in Türkiye and abroad, with alternatives offered from the fabric showroom.

    Approvals

    Nothing is planned into production until the product, the fabric and the sample have all been approved.

  5. 05

    Planning

    Once the approvals are in, the production slot is planned and the order is scheduled against it.

    6–8 weeks from approval

  6. 06

    Production

    Woven and denim on our own floor. Volumes our floor cannot take go to three partner factories in İzmir, chosen by quantity and by product.

Materials

What we work with.

Fabric comes from our own network of mills and suppliers in Türkiye and abroad. The showroom and the hangers in it are kept current, so alternatives for a collection can be put in front of you quickly rather than chased.

Cotton Woven, across weights
Cotton and elastane Where the garment needs stretch
Viscose Drape-led blouses, dresses and shirting
Yarn-dyed Checks, stripes and colour-woven fabrics
Piece-dyed Solid colour, dyed after weaving
Denim Its own production, with garment wash and garment dye
Quality

Quality starts at the beginning.

Not at the end. Five checks run through the order, each against the approved sample and your specification. A lot that fails one does not move to the next.

One · fabric

Fabric control

Every roll is checked before it is cut. A roll that fails goes back rather than into the marker.

Two · first article

First article

The first piece off the line is checked against the approved sample before the line is allowed to run.

Three · inline

Inline control

Checked at the line while it is still set up, so a fault is corrected where it happened instead of at the end.

Four · final

Final control

The finished lot is checked against your specification before it is packed.

Five · packing

Packing control

Carton contents, labels and packing are checked against your packing list before the order leaves.

Rework and claim rates are not published yet. They go on the quarterly record once the first full period has been measured.
