THE PROCESS

STEPS IN COLLECTION DEVELOPMENT
AT AVDG CREATIVE STUDIO

CONSULTATION

After you’ve reviewed our quotes, we coordinate a paid consultation to assess your design needs. This pivotal step allows us to capture your vision accurately. 

Additionally, we can present options of fabric swatches and trims options during this session and showcase examples of our previous projects. Taking your queries on board, we formulate a workable plan to bring your vision to life.

DESIGNS

We will request your design references, such as similar clothing photos, sketches, drawings, notes, or tech packs, to assess your needs. Please contact us for assistance if you need more clarification on what you should send us.

QUOTE

After reviewing your design references, we’ll provide a tailored quote considering your specific service needs, such as the quantity per style, preferred fabrics, and seam finishes. Please note quotes are valid for one month and sent via email.

PATTERNS

We’ll create tech packs and patterns using your reference images and sketches or replicate them from physical samples if needed – we will discuss this with you during the consultation phase. This phase usually takes 2-3 weeks, depending on the workload required.

TOILES

For new designs, we create a toile to streamline the process of achieving the perfect fit for your garments. 

Please note that we do not revise toiles – a new round incurs additional costs. Expect a 1-2 week timeframe for toiling.

GARMENT FITTING

Once the toile is ready, we undertake a fitting session to evaluate any adjustments to the pattern and implement them. Any subsequent fit alterations after this session will incur additional charges.

SAMPLES

Following pattern adjustments, we’ll bring your vision to life by producing your final samples using the chosen fabrics and trims. The sampling process typically spans 1-3 weeks, subject to our schedule and design complexity.

GRADING

Once you approve the fits and fabrics, we’ll grade your patterns. You can choose to use our tried-and-tested grading rule, provide your own, or let us recommend one based on your brand and garment types. Grading typically takes 1-2 weeks.

FABRIC/TRIMS ORDER

We’ll order your bulk fabric concurrently with pattern grading if you’ve contracted our fabric sourcing services. Do note that the timeline for materials depends on the supplier.

PRODUCTION

We complete the final stage by creating your garments in our Barcelona workshop within 4-12 weeks – timing varies based on order size, style, and complexity.
