Anyone looking for a knitwear workshop is not just looking for a machine: they want someone who starts from the right yarn and answers for the finished garment. We direct this work in the Prato textile district, with a single contact from the first idea to delivery.
Every brand comes with different needs: some want a knitwear capsule fast, others want a knit garment built around their idea.
That's why we work along two routes.
We start from base knit garments already produced and turn them into your product with embroidery, labels, tags and packaging. The garment already exists, so development is light.
The garment starts from your sketch or a technical sheet: the yarn is chosen, the pattern is built, the prototype is made. It's the Made in Italy route, with yarns worked in the Prato district.
Each step closes with your approval before the next.
Before we talk costs, we ask what price you'll sell the garment at and how much you want to make on it. From there we work out what production can cost and which of the two routes makes sense.
Your sketch, or the reference garment, becomes a working sheet. With the sheet we choose the yarn: it's the decision that weighs most, because availability, minimums and the garment's yield change from yarn to yarn.
The first knit garment is made, tried on and corrected. Usually several prototypes are made before the style is right. Development is always quoted separately, apart from the per-piece price.
The approved garment becomes the reference sample in size S, the copy the whole production is checked against. The sample is paid for separately and in advance, because it is real work. Only once it is approved do we move to the run.
The style is developed across all the sizes in its grade — each size has its own proportions, it is not a scale-up. Then production, with finishing, brand label, composition and care labels, tags and bagging.
Minimums, costs and lead times are given by our specialists after they have seen the project and spoken to the workshops. A number given without that work is a number that changes. Ours doesn't.
The more you tell us up front, the sooner we come back with something concrete.
