Strong Fabric
From designing cut and sew textiles to welded non-wovens, we’ve worked with a wide variety of materials and manufacturing processes. To support our expertise in soft goods design, two of our staff are dedicated soft goods developers. They continue to grow our deep relationships with domestic and international vendors to help clients realize product solutions.
Our soft goods design process includes conceptualization, developing specifications, fabricating rounds of prototypes, conducting supplier and material research, and providing manufacturing support through production. This unique strength is leveraged with our expertise in other areas to efficiently integrate soft goods design with hard components.
Soft Goods Design Expertise:
- Cut & Sew
- Seamless Construction
- 3D Knitting
- Pattern Making
- Sourcing
- Technical Packages
- Hard and Soft Goods Integration
- Material Exploration
