Sample Development Typically Takes 7–10 Days
Typically, it takes 7–10 days for the first prototype after confirming design details and materials. Timelines may vary based on style complexity, fabric availability, and whether custom materials need to be sourced. For simpler styles with standard fabrics, samples can be ready in as little as 5–7 days. Highly complex designs with custom trims or specialty fabrics may require 12–15 days.
Sample Development Timeline
Days 1–2: Design Review & Tech Pack Preparation
Our team reviews your brief, prepares technical drawings, and finalizes material specifications.
Days 3–5: Pattern Making & Material Sourcing
Patterns are drafted and graded. Fabrics and trims are sourced and confirmed.
Days 6–8: Prototype Sewing & Assembly
Sample garment is cut, sewn, and assembled by experienced technicians.
Days 9–10: Finishing, Inspection & Shipping
Final sample inspection, pressing, packaging, and dispatch to your address.
Factors That Affect Sampling Time
Fabric Availability — Stock fabrics are faster; custom-knit or specialty fabrics add 3–5 days.
Style Complexity — Simple leggings or tops are quicker; jackets, lined garments take longer.
Revisions — Each revision round typically adds 3–5 days to the overall timeline.
