Research & Development

We offer on-site Research and Development teams for both domestic and overseas production — combining fabric expertise, trend intelligence, and print capabilities under one roof.

Fabric Sourcing & Trend Forecasting

Our company is committed to providing our clients with the finest quality fabrics tailored to their specific needs. We source tailor-made, Italian-developed fabrics at Chinese prices. Our overseas staff visits the fabric mills directly to ensure that fabric quality and color match the sample fabric confirmed by designers — eliminating the guesswork that costs brands time and money.

We work with a comprehensive range of fabric types across all categories, giving your brand access to materials that would otherwise require multiple vendor relationships:

Knits
Wovens
Organic
Recycled
Sustainable
Vegan
Silk / Faux Silk
Fur / Faux Fur
Leather / Faux Leather
Wool
Cotton / Cotton Blends
Polyester Blends
Poplin
Fleece / French Terry
Linens
And many more…

Our research and development teams stay on top of seasonal trends, offering our clients access to our in-house print collections. We offer digital and screen prints on all fabric types, with additional techniques such as dye-sublimation, reactive, and pigment printing.

We have a vast array of fabrics in our showroom, ready for viewing by appointment. Whether you are launching a new collection or expanding an existing line, our R&D team provides the sourcing intelligence to keep your designs competitive and on-trend.
