01 · What we do

Design, sampling and production for independent fashion labels.

The product development room a label does not need to build in house. Good labels do not always need a factory. Sometimes they need the right product team. We take a garment from an idea or a tech pack to a sample that is genuinely ready, then into careful short runs. We value accuracy and communication over the lowest price per piece.

05 · Why we exist

We built the partner we wished we had.

While building our own label, IKKHO, we found that sampling was one of the hardest parts of turning a design into a finished product. So we built the support we had needed ourselves. Because we have taken a brand from zero, we understand both sides of the table.

06 · Why labels choose us
