Our Five-Stage Workflow
Every project we take on travels the same proven path—from that first spark of an idea to a finished product earning its keep on the sales floor. The five stages below outline how we align creative vision with technical rigor, maintain clear communication at every hand-off, and build in quality checks long before a single unit ships. Think of this framework as your guarantee: each milestone has a purpose, each deliverable a measurable outcome, and each transition a dedicated specialist making sure nothing slips through the cracks.
 

1. Brief & Insight

“Clear intent is half the battle.”
We work with you to capture the story, target guest, launch date, and price goals. Everyone signs off before a single line is drawn.

2. Creative Design

“Sketches turn emotions into form.”
Mood boards, hand sketches, and 2D or 3D renders lay out scale, colors, suggested platings, production methods, and packaging concepts. Fast iterations keep momentum high and revisions low.

3. Product Engineering

“Great art deserves bullet-proof specs.”
Approved art becomes manufacturing blueprints: metal/alloy choices, print processes, stitch counts, fabric weights, and packaging dielines. Prototype rounds—when needed—verify feel, fit, color accuracy, and all safety requirements before tooling starts.

4. Production & Quality Assurance

“Consistency builds reputation.”  

Orders run through socially compliant factories with third-party certifications (e.g., BSCI, Sedex, SA8000). Our network handles everything from die-cast zinc and enamel to cut-and-sew textiles, umbrellas, totes, and apparel. Each lot is checked against FDA, California Prop 65, CPSIA/ASTM, Health Canada, and other applicable standards. Photo-stamped reports track color, construction, and packaging; nothing ships until it meets spec.

5. Launch & Reorder Support

“Delivery isn’t the end—sell-through is.” 
We manage freight via trusted international forwarders, handle duty pre-payment, apply price stickers, and transmit ASN files so cartons flow straight to shelf. After delivery, we’ll follow up to confirm everything arrived exactly as expected. When you’re ready for more, just give us the word and we’ll book production and shipping so replenishment lands right when you need it—no sooner, no later.

Sustainability Spotlight

We design for longevity and lower impact:

  • Materials: recycled stainless steel, FSC-certified paperboard, bamboo fibre, wheat-straw polymer, rPET fabrics, organic cotton.
  • Factories: several partners maintain independent environmental-management certifications (e.g., ISO 14001) or equivalent local standards.

We’ll suggest eco-friendly products whenever possible. If eco-friendly products are a requirement for a specific project, please let us know.
