"Can you make my design?" is the most common question we get. The honest answer is yes — and the useful answer is what the process actually looks like, so you can plan around it.
Step 1 — The brief
You can start from a sketch, a photo, a competitor product, or just a target price and a use case. The more of these you give, the tighter the first quote. A target landed price is genuinely helpful: it tells us which construction and fabric to propose.
Step 2 — Feasibility and cost band
Within a day or two we come back with a construction read, a likely fabric, and a cost band at your quantity. This is where a good partner tells you if your design is wrong for your price point, rather than quoting anything you ask for.
Step 3 — Tech pack and size set
A tech pack with a measurement spec and a graded size set (usually XXS–XXL, extendable) in about a week. This is the document your own team can sell and QA from.
Step 4 — Prototype
A physical sample in your fabric and colour, typically within two weeks of an approved spec. Test it on real dogs — fit and acceptance by the dog is the thing photos cannot tell you.
Step 5 — Production and branding
Once the sample is approved, production runs roughly 15–35 days depending on construction. Branding options: woven labels, heat-transfer or embroidered logos, custom hangtags, poly bags with your artwork, barcode application, and FSC-certified packaging where you need it.
MOQs and tooling
Stocked styles start at 100 pieces, mixable across sizes and colours. A custom Pantone colourway typically starts at 300 pieces per colour. A brand-new bespoke block carries a one-time pattern cost, which we credit back on your first production order over 1,000 pieces.
Modelling landed cost
The number that actually decides a private-label order is landed cost, not FOB. Ask us for a model: unit price + freight + duty at your HS code + your target retail margin. Tell us your port and quantity and we will build that sheet — it is usually the difference between "maybe" and a purchase order.
