Lead time

60–90 days from PP approval

How the season is planned

We work back from your in-store date. Range review sits 24 weeks out, fabric commitment at 18, PP approval at 12 and bulk cut at 8. Every date lives in a shared critical path so a slipped approval is visible the day it happens rather than the week it hurts.

Fit blocks that stay yours

Your base blocks are graded, digitised and archived under your account. A repeat order two seasons later cuts to the same measurements, so returns data from year one still means something in year two.

Sampling rhythm

Proto, fit and PP in fifteen working days when comments arrive batched. Each round is photographed on a fit mannequin at four angles with measurement sheets attached, so remote approval is genuinely possible.
