Material sourcing & selection

From concept to finished garment, we support fashion brands and product development teams in sourcing and selecting the most suitable materials and components for each project.

Whether working from a client brief, a physical sample, an image or an initial concept, we identify suitable leathers, fabrics, garment trims and components through a network of qualified suppliers. Each option is carefully assessed in terms of quality, aesthetics, functionality, cost and availability to ensure it meets both the design vision and production requirements.

The right leather for every garment

Our expertise is particularly valuable in the sourcing and selection of leather for apparel. Choosing the right leather requires specialised knowledge: quality, hand feel, thickness, performance, finish, colour and technical properties must all be assessed in relation to the garment design and the desired final result. We work alongside our clients as leather sourcing consultants, translating project requirements and creative ideas into informed material choices that support garment development. For fabrics and speciality materials, we generally work from the specifications and references provided by the client.

Metal trims, zippers & accessories

The selection of metal trims, zippers and accessories is an integral part of garment development. Buttons, zippers, metal hardware and technical components must meet specific requirements in terms of quality, functionality, durability and aesthetics, in line with the design concept and the materials used. Our expertise enables us to identify and recommend the most suitable solutions, managing the sourcing and procurement of buttons, buckles, zippers, rivets, snap hooks and other hardware through a network of qualified, specialised suppliers. From selecting the right finish to ensuring compatibility with leather, fabrics and technical materials, every component is carefully assessed to contribute to the overall quality and balance of the finished garment.
