Much like how a three piece suit can’t do without a blazer, and a tuxedo can’t do without the classic bow tie, any garment is incomplete without the right fabric. And sourcing that perfect fabric so your garment replicates the exact piece as the one imagined in that creative corner of the designer’s masterly mind, is far from an easy task.
There are a gazillion fabrics out there. And every season, mills and fabric makers create a new set of colour palletes, weaves, textures, fiber blends and printing techniques that keep adding to the already ginormous variety. We, at Kashvi Designs, take up a strict fabric sourcing procedure to ensure that there’s no discrepancy between what we ought to create and what you receive.
Here’s our failproof guide to source the best of best fabrics for crafting immaculate apparels:
The Two Essential Q’s
While a large quantity is a given when it comes to manufacturing garments, quality is something that never has to be compromised on either. We do a thorough check to ensure that the necessary fabric is available in the required amount and the quality across all bundles is impeccable and invariant.
Functionality
Creating a real 3D garment after designing those beautiful sketches and illustrations is a whole new ball game altogether! One needs to be sure that the fabric used drapes well or if there are two different fabrics, they go along well together. To ensure this, we create protoype of each style to check the functionality beforehand.
Testing
After testing the fabric’s functionality, it is also important to test the content fabric in case the fabric needs to undergo any kind of finishing procedure. Not all fabrics are suitable for finishing processes such as digital or wet printing, dying, sublimation printing, etc. To check this, one needs to do a thorough research and identify whether the fabric can withstand the application.
Availability
Seasonal fabrics are often only available for a short duration. So, there might be chances that they are unavailable when you order in bulk. To solve this, we pre-plan and place necessary orders making sure we are way ahead of time and never miss out on the trendiest seasonal fabrics.
With these four major hacks, our professional sourcing team ensures everything is done smoothly and with no hassle. After all, crafting the choicest garments requires handpicking the most superior fabric with the help of a team that exudes indomitable passion and determination.
