Clothing Sample Development in Istanbul
Sample development
Can I order just a sample, and what does it cost?
Yes. Sampling covers pattern development, fabric, cutting, sewing, agreed decoration and QC. A basic T-shirt with one-colour print or embroidery averages €150, with 50% credited against bulk production. This is an example, not a universal tariff: special setup costs and credits are quoted by project. Sample shipping is extra.
How long do samples and bulk production take?
Samples: 7–12 working days for standard products, 15–20 for specific developments, starting after technical details and prepaid proforma are settled. Bulk: 15–20 working days standard, 20–25 detailed, after sample approval and deposit. Project timing is confirmed before order. Shipping is extra time; urgent work depends on the schedule.
Can we use an existing pattern?
Yes. When using one of our base patterns or a prepared pattern you supply, we deduct the pattern fee from the sample price.
How are sample revisions charged?
For custom-developed patterns, one round of pattern/measurement revisions and the cutting and sewing of a second physical sample can be provided free after the first sample. Print, embroidery and other decoration changes are excluded. Revision-sample shipping is extra. A completely new pattern or further samples are reviewed separately. Previously paid setup fees are not charged again; a new setup required by a change may be charged.
How is the sample approved for production?
We normally send the physical sample directly; photos and videos can precede shipment on request. The approved sample is the production reference for fabric, measurements, workmanship and decoration. Without a physical sample, written approval is required and agreed technical correspondence is the reference.
Who owns the patterns, and are designs confidential?
Custom patterns and technical files paid for in development belong to you and can be supplied for use elsewhere. Our existing base patterns remain ours. We keep developed patterns free indefinitely and sign an NDA on request.
