Woo hoo! You’ve drawn your ideas and your designs are finalised. Ok, so let’s get the ball rolling. First step is to fill out the forms on our website, fill out your “design submissions” from our website. From there we will email you your quote.
The specification sheets / tech pack includes design details, fabric and specific construction instructions (for example pleating, darts, French seams, beading etc.). This insures consistency in your collections and allows us to produce pieces exactly how you see them in your head. Not sure how to do one of these,? That’s ok! We offer this service for a separate fee which will be outlined in your quote.
We can develop your patterns from the specification sheet. These unique patterns then become your property forever. We are able to use our generic size charts for your pattern grading or you may provide your own size charts. This is entirely up to you and how you wish to size your collection.
To produce the pattern and Toile (first sample made out of a cheaper fabric) takes up to 3 weeks. You are allowed up to two changes to the sample. The true sample can take around 3 weeks to complete, however timing can be impacted by dying, printing, embroidery, fabric sourcing, production schedule etc. Your position in our production schedule will be secured upon paying your deposit.
You are welcome to arrange your own fabrics and trims. However, we do offer this service for a fee of $300 AUD. Fabrics are limited to what is available in Indonesia. We have access to the best suppliers and do our best to seek and deliver your ideal fabric. You are welcome to import your own Fabric. However, it must be under 100kg and less that USD$1000 in value. If it is over these figures you must employ an importer, as by Indonesian law it can be confiscated and/or you will be charged extremely high fees by customs. Any customs charges we have to handle cost an administration fee of $50. All fabrics/ trims supplied by you must be delivered to our factory.
Standard wash/ care labels and size labels are included in your quote. We are able to source and arrange your swing tags and design labels, but all artwork must be ready-to-print. Please note that lead times for these depend on the type of label you are after. Generally allow 3-6 weeks.

Our current preferred method is EMS/POS Indonesia which can take up to 5-7 days. All shipping costs are added to your invoice. You are welcome to explore and arrange other shipping methods.
All dying, printing and embroidery is outsourced. We liaise and coordinate on your behalf with the suppliers. Any colour variances, design errors or faulty workmanship is not our responsibility. We will check for any errors or discrepancies and advise you. It is then up to you to decide how to proceed with the fabric and you become accountable for any additional costs incurred. All artwork for printing must be in ‘ready-to-print’ format.
