Womenswear
About four fifths of what leaves this building is womenswear, and the book runs roughly 80% woven to 20% knits.
The work we do best is the awkward woven dress. A viscose print in four colourways with a bias skirt and a self belt; a cambric tier that has to hang straight after a wash; a yarn-dyed co-ord where the shirt and the skirt come off the same dye lot and still match at the stripe. Those are the styles a cut-and-sew unit steers a buyer away from, and they are what the pattern room was built around.
We originate them. Send a category and a season and you get a range back — fabric, print, fit, colour — sampled in 7 to 10 days from the brief. Send a tech pack instead and we execute it, and come back with the questions rather than assumptions.
Indian wear sits alongside, mostly kurta sets in voile and cambric with panel embroidery. Athleisure runs in cotton lycra and viscose lycra with a pearl finish.

A first womenswear drop is usually 10 to 20 styles. Prints and embroidery are the long poles: an all-over print needs the strike-off signed before bulk fabric moves, and embroidery adds two to three days per style in sampling.
