Production & capability
What runs inside our Hangzhou workshop, and how each stage protects your order.
Six stages, one silk cluster
Stage names and sequence, so you know exactly where your order is at any point.
Pattern & fit
Digitised patterns, graded to your size chart and checked on a fit sample before cutting.
Fabric inspection
Silk inspected for slubs, colour and usable width before it reaches the cutting table.
Cutting
Careful single and multi-layer cutting so bias lines stay stable on slip dresses.
Sewing
French seams, rolled hems and piped edges for sleepwear, robes and scarves.
Digital printing
Reactive printing with a wash-fastness check on every print batch.
Finishing & QC
Thread trimming, steam pressing and 100% piece inspection before packing.
From fabric to folded product
Fabric booked
Silk is ordered to the confirmed momme, width and colourway, then inspected on arrival.
Cut to your chart
Patterns are graded to your size chart and cut with the nap and bias direction controlled.
Sewn & printed
Sleepwear is sewn on partner lines, with printing scheduled before cutting on printed styles.
Inspected & packed
100% piece inspection, steam pressing, then folding into retail or bulk packaging.

Where we are honest
We are a small studio rather than a large plant, so we quote the capacity we can hold - and we say no when a deadline is not realistic.
Visits
Buyers are welcome to visit the workshop by appointment; we will share the address and a schedule once your sample is approved.
Capacity, stated plainly
We schedule against the lines we control plus long-term partners in the same silk cluster, and we quote the volume we can actually hold rather than the volume you want to hear.
Asked before most first orders
On printed styles we print the fabric first, then cut, so the pattern placement is consistent across every panel in the order. Placement prints and all-over repeats are both possible, and we always send a printed strike-off for approval before bulk.
Panels are cut from the same dye lot and shade-banded before sewing, so pieces from one order match. If an order is split across two dye lots for capacity reasons, we tell you before production rather than after.
You send fit notes, we adjust the pattern and re-sample. Sampling continues until the fit is signed off in your base size and your largest size, so the bulk order reproduces an approved garment.
