What This Department Does

Turning a brief into an approved fabric sample

Before a single roll of fabric goes into bulk production, the Design & Sampling department works through a buyer's requirements — target fabric weight, stretch, hand-feel, color and end use — and translates them into a concrete construction: yarn selection, weave or knit structure, and finishing plan.

Small-batch sample yardage is produced first so the buyer can review and approve the fabric before it commits to a full production run. This keeps grey-to-finish manufacturing accurate the first time, reducing rework once bulk weaving, knitting, dyeing and printing begin.

  • Reviews buyer specs for weight, stretch and finish
  • Plans yarn, construction and finishing before bulk runs
  • Produces sample yardage for buyer approval

Its Place In The Process

Where sampling sits in grey-to-finish

Design & Sampling sets the direction for everything that follows on the floor.

01

Brief & Spec

Buyer requirements are reviewed and converted into a fabric construction plan.

02

Sample Yardage

A small run is woven or knitted to the planned spec for evaluation.

03

Approval

The buyer reviews the sample against their brief before bulk production is scheduled.

04

Handoff

The approved construction moves to Weaving & Knitting, then Dyeing & Finishing.
