Design development connects collection direction with fabric, fit and construction. Our teams translate a reference, tech pack or product brief into a practical sampling route for sportswear, outdoor and lifestyle apparel.

Fabric selection, pattern development, prototyping and sample review are coordinated before bulk production. Approvals, specifications and performance requirements are recorded for handover to the production team.
