CONSULTATION 2-3hrs

125.00

An initial consultation meeting is required to discuss the concept/collection in the Zobi Studio. During this in-depth consultation with our team, we will analyse your design concept, describe in detail the production process (as this varies from design to design) and determine the next steps to the production stage. At this time, we discuss everything from the chosen size rage to material selection.

Our staff are very experienced in pattern drafting. We can also work from designer’s own pattern should it be required. Approximate prices per piece (complex design will change the price):

Tops from €30
Tailoring (dress, skirt, trouser) from €45
Outerwear (jacket) from €65
Evening, bridal from €85
Shirts, blouses from €40

SAMPLE PRODUCTION

1st Prototype/ Toile

A toile is the first sample made in cheaper, cost effective, fabric. This is an important part of the process used to define the style and shape of the garment accurately before making it in the correct fabric.

PRODUCTION CRITERIA

Fully developed designs – detailed sketches

Fabric type outlined – or swatches

Chosen size range for the target market

Tech Packs (if possible)

Time lines- be realistic about the timeline, allow 2 months for sample development. 3 months for fabric, trim and thread sourcing to delivery and allow 3 months from sample approval to bulk orders production.

Zobi has fabric options available also if necessary – 2 month lead time

*Note:  if designer is sourcing their own fabric, please ensure delivery to the Studio is on schedule with the sample production timeline.
