*5 in house designers in our N.Y. office *3 Europe shops per year for direction *Constant retail shopping in the United States *CAD capable |
Design, we feel, is an ongoing process. Our designers work directly with the retailers in concert to develop the best possible designs in the product class we are working in. We do not wait for product packs from retail in-house design staffs. When we spot a trend, we will sample and send. If the retailer spots the same, we will provide samples.

| *In house fabric sourcing *Fabric sourcing through converters *Direct mill sourcing |
Fabric sourcing is a large part of our success. We not only source fabrics through our own office and enjoy a favorable relationship with mills directly; we also have tremendous relationships with some of the strongest resources and converters in the world. This gives us tremendous flexibility and occasionally, offers resource fabric promotions for our accounts to take advantage of. The mills offer these items to us.
| *Employ the use of factories we have had production with for many years *Have staff in all factories we sew in for quality control *Do not produce in factories for price only. *Enjoy a very strong relationship with our sewing facilities *All factories are Macy's, Van Heusen, and Wrap approved *Cafta Goods Available |
We feel it is best to produce in a core of factories that we enjoy a relationship with. This has proven to be most successful for quality as well as factories holding production time. Surely you have experienced loss of lines for late fabric. Our factories will generally hold or refigure production to ensure on-time delivery.
