The Source Direct Design and Production Process

The design and production process in an apparel trading house starts with understanding the client's requirements and creating design concepts. Once the designs are finalized, the trading house sources materials, develops samples, and works with manufacturers to produce the garments. They manage the entire production process, ensuring quality control, and handle logistics for shipping and distribution. The trading house ensures that the final products meet the client's specifications, timelines, and quality standards, providing a seamless and efficient process from design to delivery.

Design Conceptualisation

Design conceptualization is the process of turning an idea into a visual plan for a product. It involves creating sketches, mood boards, and prototypes to define the style, fabrics, colors, and overall aesthetic of the design. This stage helps refine the vision and sets the foundation for the next steps in production and sourcing.
