AGENDA
7. The world of the fashion industry
Production: specific
8. The methodology
Question:
Do we leave everything to the good care of the
manufacturer ?
Or do we take the lead ?
Options:
A. I design the model myself and leave the rest to the
manufacturer
B. I design, make the first pattern and leave the rest to
the manufacturer
C. I design, make the first pattern, make the prototype
and leave the rest to the manufacturer
D. I buy from the manufacturers collection or I choose
something exclusive
Production: specific
9. From idea to product
The creative idea / the first sketch
The development of the first pattern
The first prototype
The realization of the collection samples
The size set samples
The gold seal sample or reference sample for production
Bulk production
Production: specific
22. Stitch types ISO 4915 (international standard)
Class 100 : chain stitches
Class 200: hand stitches
Class 300: Lockstitches
Class 400: Multi-thread chain stitches
Class 500: Overedge chain stiches
Class 600: Covering chain stitches
23. Seam types ISO 4916 (international standard)
SS - Stapelnaad (Superimposed Seam)
LS - Overlapnaad (Lapped Seam)
BS - Gebonden naad (Bounded Seam)
FS - Platte naad (Flat Seam)
29. The right manufacturer
Good to know
Start prospecting before the season starts - first come,
first served
The time factor is utterly important.
Be on time, respecting the right time zone
Summer collection (November until February)
Winter collection (June until August)
Select a supplier according to your product needs eg.
Tricot machinery tricot
Better a few models / week than all at once
30. The right manufacturer
Creamoda & its members
Belgian Designer Partners
Manufacturers are willing to work on the
realization of the collection(s) of starters and
to do an additional effort
Meet & Greet events
Creamoda website contains a substantial list of Belgian
manufacturers
Advantages of production with a Belgian partner:
Coaching & advise
Visit, control & corrections
Small orders
31. The right manufacturer
Questions to ask
Working with starters ? Product types ?
Volume big or small orders ? Quality level ? Price level ?
Are modifications possible ? Capacity booking ?
Timing ?
Terms of delivery ? Payment terms ?
Social compliance ?
Product Safety ? Product testing ?
Sustainable manufacturing ?
32. The right manufacturer
Price & conscious choice
Basic Model: if you have a good basic fit re-use it . With some minor
modifications = can be less expensive than making a completely new one.
Careful with Fabric Consumption (draperies)
Manual finishing or machine finishing.
Bio / Eco materials and finishing
MOQ Minimum order quantities
33. Remember
A good preparation makes half of the work
A clear communication = crucial ( Technical file )
A clear quality sketch sometimes says more than words
Provide a sufficient amount of fabrics and additionals ( buttons can get
broken in the factory)
Think about your labels, composition, brand, size, care instructions
36. EU-Regulation No 1007/2011
from 27/09/2011
Prescribes the way the fibre composition of products needs to be indicated
by means of a label/marking in order to protect the needs of the customer
Textile products may only placed on the EU market when they comply with
the directives of that regulation
The full name needs to be used: cotton, acrylic, polyester,
http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=
OJ:L:2011:272:0001:0064:EN:PDF
37. EU-Regulation No 1007/2011
from 27/09/2011
Article 12: extra notice contains non-textile parts of animal origin
Percentage does not matter and the animal species does not need to be
specified
IMPORTANT: even a leather label on a textile product needs to be
mentioned!
38. Fibre composition
Legally obliged in all European countries for all textile products
Textile product = a product min. 80% by weight made out of
textile fibres
Needs to be written in the national language
Abbreviations are not allowed
Written in descending order eg. 50% cotton 40% wool 10% nylon
39. Fibre names
Fibre names are determined by law only
Official fibre name (generic name) = NOT a trademark or
marketing name
Not related to the manufacturer
Eg. Coolmax, Lycra, Tervira, Tencel, Danufil...are not generic
fibre names
In principle there is only 1 generic name
There is 1 exception: polyamide and nylon are synonyms
Flax and Linen can both be used
41. The Care label
The care label is not abligated by law in the EU member states however:
Obligated use of symbols in Austria
Obligated use of symbols or text in Italy
The symbols indicate maximum resistance to care and laundring
The pictograms are the property of GINETEX. ETITEX owns the rights for
Belgium and Luxemburg
42. The Care label
Use the symbols with care
Respect the sequence of the symbols
When using the symbols, you need to pay a fee to Etitex
http://www.etitex.be
Continuous text = allowed but needs to be written in the national
language

but not every customer outsources all of those steps :
66. HOW TO FIND THE BEST
PRODUCTION SOLUTION??
*STARTING POINT: STYLING
From a (modified) shopping and suppliers collection
to your own design
! Anticipate: Talk with your production partner
about the technical possibilities or potential practical issues
about the prices (secure final price!)
about the right fitting
about the moqs (fabrics & accessories)
and have this talk before you start to work out a collection: save a lot
of time & money!
67. *PRODUCTION PROCESS: KEY QUESTIONS!
1. Sampling
*Patterns by the production company OR by you?
*How many samples? Sms? Prototype? PPS?
*Sample yardage ordered by?
2. Sourcing (fabrics & (packing) accessories)
*Fabrics: proposed & delivered by the supplier OR by you? (finished garment vs make)
(Trousers = most of the time different from other items!)
*Accessories (buttons, lining, ..) : proposed & delivered by the supplier OR by you?
(Basics usually by supplier / personalised items by the brand)
*Packing accessories (pricelabels, tags, ..): delivered by the supplier OR by you?
! Chose the right supplier: some suppliers offer full solutions, others only offer the make,
and ask to deliver everythingsave money & time
! Talk with your producer about technical possibilities, practical issues, fitting, prices
(alternatives!)
68. *PRODUCTION PROCESS: KEY QUESTIONS!
3. Make
*Long term/Short term? Quantities?
Price difference can be huge; quality level can remain!
4. Logistics
*Transportation cost to/from production facilities, transportation cost
from fabrics, import taxes..
* Packing instructions: make it easy on yourself! Flat packed (online!)
or hanging?
* Extra partner for handling & direct deliveries?
Same logic as for the sourcing of fabrics: economy of scale makes a
huge difference!
69. General tips & tricks
Define your own way of working & then chose the right
production partner
Strategy: go for high end exclusivity or go for volume
Outsourcing? Can be the answer for a startup, but also
for brands/retailers willing to keep their focus on
design, marketing & sales
Go for a long term, respectful & honest relationship
with your (production) partners
