Turkey  Fashion Sourcing

COSTİNG :

Once the designs stage is complete, all of your Tech Packs will then sent to our suppliers for 1to1 costing.

• When sending your designs for costing we will consider things such as; the product type, likely production quantity, likely production lead time, likely average regional unit costs, as well as other specific factors specific to your project when deciding which suppliers & likely location of manufacture is most suitable.

• We have a large network of established & trusted suppliers for all product types across multiple production cities in Turkey.

• If you would like further information which city of manufacture might be most suitable & the pro’s & con’s to each region, we can discuss this with you.

Once unit prices are returned, we will then advise you of the exact unit prices for your bespoke designs.

• We will help you estimate not only the individual unit prices of each style, but any other possible additional charges such as Freight, Duties or Taxes to deliver your products.

• Most of the time, due to average prices being used, the estimated production budget in the Range Plan Calculator is an over-estimate & normally the final overall budget usually come back cheaper (subject to your bespoke designs) and therefore usually your production budget will stretch slightly further than the Range Plan Calculator might first estimate.

​

SAMPLİNG:

Once your bespoke garment prices are approved in principle (subject to samples), we will move forward to sampling stage.

Initial samples of your designs will be produced. Please note;

• As no official bulk order has yet been placed, initial samples will be made without any labels or trims.

• The majority of the time your designs will be sampled using the correct fabrics however, on occasion, if the fabrics is specialised or not available then a substitute similar fabric might be used.

• During initial sampling not every style in every colour might be produced. On occasion one sample of one colour way might be sampled & additional dyed colour swatches might be supplied for the alternative colour ways. Other elements such as prints or embroideries might be supplied on fabric swatches.

• The idea of initial sampling is to turn your 2D designs into the 1st 3D sample for you to fit & comment upon.

• Think of initial sampling as a recipe of elements, a fit sample, a colour swatch, fabric swatches, print or embroidery swatches, etc. All the elements which will make up your bespoke designs.

• Any brought samples that you might supply us for references (i.e. fits, fabrics, constructions) we will endeavour to return you however we are afraid that we cannot guarantee their safe return. Due to the volume of reference samples going through our factories & the fact reference samples are often sent out to other 3rd parties (such as fabric mills, embroidery & print houses) that reference sample can, on occasion, get misplaced. Also, on occasion, reference samples are required to be cut or defaced in some way to allow the factories to test fabric compositions, weights & pattern pieces. Therefore, we cannot guarantee the safe return of reference samples however we do endeavour to return reference samples where possible.

• We strive, where possible, to ensure your initial samples are as close to your bespoke design as possible but without order commitment it’s not always possible.

​

BULK ORDER:

Once your initial samples have been commented upon it will be time to place your bulk order.

• Placing the bulk order allows our factories to produce your bespoke fabric, dye your bespoke colours & produce your bespoke labels & trims.

Once your fabrics, label & trims arrive in-house a further 2nd sample will be produced of your styles. This is called a ‘Pre-Production’ (or ‘PP’) sample.

• Your PP samples will have any comment changes from your initial sample, be in the exact fabric, colours & have all labels & trims attached.

• A PP sample is supposed to be representative of your final bulk production.

​

BULK PRODUCTION:

• Once you have given approval to do so, the physical bulk production can start.

• During production, in-line quality control checks will take place. In-line quality control checks are undertaken at random throughout the different stages of the production process to try to eliminate or rectify any possible issues as they occur.

• Once your bulk production is complete your products will go to the pressing & packing stage ready for shipment.

• During the packing stage, once your products are in sealed boxes ready for shipment, an end-of-line quality control check will take place. An end-of-line control means that boxes will be opened at random to check a reasonable % of your finished goods. Only if these checks are OK is an order approved to ship. Should the quality control fail for any reason, then further checks will take place including but not limited to a 100% quality control.

• A further & final sample will be sent to you. This is called a ‘Shipment Sample’. This sample is pulled from random from your bulk production.

• Due to Shipment Samples being provided from finish bulk production, no comments or changes can be made.

• The purpose of a Shipment Sample is for you to confirm the final production matches your expectations & for you to give the approval to ship.
