Imagine you’re a designer with a great idea, solid sketches, or even a self-sewn prototype. Maybe your piece is “home sewn” level and wearable, but not yet refined. Perhaps your pattern isn’t fully developed, or you need elevated construction, better fabrics and a production ready version worthy of selling to customers.
That’s where we come in.
As a full-service design and production house, we specialize in transforming your vision into a luxury-level garment that not only meets, but exceeds your expectations.
We elevate your design with:
• High-end seaming and construction methods
• Custom facings and couture-grade closures
• Precision pleating and balanced proportions
• Expert print-matching in seams and plackets
• Perfect hems and fit corrections
• A finished design that looks and feels like it came straight from a luxury fashion house
