FAQs

Sampling

Samples are constructed following your handover of designs, considering any notes you added regarding fit, construction, and stitching.

Once we’re clear on all points, you will be assigned a swimwear specialist, who will contact you to introduce herself and arrange a callback to clarify any points. She will be on hand throughout the process, ready to discuss other issues, such as branding, prints & so on. These issues are always best sorted whilst the samples are on the go, ready for your bulk PO.

Samples are assembled in-house in our sample studio, where our team of pattern makers, tailors & sewists, merchants & assistants produce around 50 customized samples daily.

Labels, Packaging & Accessories

While your samples are being fabricated, you will have the opportunity to discuss the branding of your designs throughout the entire line. Your custom logo or brand will be heat pressed onto the inside back of each item, including bikini clips, hygiene liners, and any custom packaging such as drawstring cotton bags. When handling this during sample production, you can save weeks in your production schedule and be ready to place your bulk order.

Custom Prints

If you are requesting custom prints, now is the time to prepare a strike off.

Our requirements for custom prints and branded accessories are in Vector format in either AI, EPS, PDF, CDR, or JPEG, 300 dpi, repeatable, and to scale. In most cases, we are able to assist you free of charge, if required.

One Sample Set or Two?

When producing two sets, we charge only the estimated bulk price without a management fee for the second set. When you order just one set, you have to send it back to us to use against your production order, plus courier fees and import taxes into Bali, making two sets cost about the same as one.

In the case of two sets, the set in our office is used to compare against the first cuts in your production.

Save Time and Money in Sampling

If you choose from our ready-to-order designs, you can skip sampling and proceed directly to your bulk PO. You will receive exactly what you see in our catalogue in the colours and prints of your choice.

You can contact us, and a swimwear specialist will get back to you to discuss your requirements.

Custom Designs

Manufacturing custom designs according to a buyer’s request could be considered an art form. Our experience as a specialist manufacturer of custom swimwear for over 30 years has taught us a thing or two about the process required to achieve a high degree of proficiency and eliminate all normal nitty-gritty issues. The orders are sent to the production department for processing as soon as the fabrics have been cut and the heat press applied. Here, we set up teams in what is referred to as ‘rolling orders’. Essentially, one person sews one section of each design before handing it over to the next in line to complete the assembly.   result is collections arriving at our quality control section consistent across the entire collection. If you’re all clear on the designs you want produced.

MOQ

Our minimum order quan.tity (MOQ) is the lowest globally, starting at a mere 100.

Colours & Prints

You can select from over 80 trending colours we hold in stock. They are not leftover fabrics but imported in rolls as orders are cut. If the colours are not in stock, we import them in 70m rolls, which must be used in your production order. 

Prints are handled in Nylon from REPREVE®, a superior recycled fabric from the US, using MS Italian print machines due to colour richness & hues being far superior to anything printed in Bali.

Colours never fade, looking like new after many years of use.

Bulk PO's

To place a bulk order:

  1. Fill in a bulk order form.
  2. Add the amounts per design,colour or print to your size breakdown & mention the
    fabric colour or print you want them produced in.

We will send you an invoice for a 50% downpayment as soon as we are clear on your PO.


Note

Some buyers find assembling collections to fit MOQs tricky. That’s why we have one person designated to help. If you need assistance, contact us.

Before we start production, we require your approved samples returned via courier or request we pick them up. If you ordered two sample sets, the set in our office is used to produce your bulk POs.

 Read how two sets costs the same as one.

Branding

Upon receipt of your bulk PO, we heat press your custom-branded logo to the inside back of each article. To ensure these never flake, crack or peel, they are produced at the Lululemon factory in Shanghai and flown in weekly. We can add your brand to hygiene liners, packaging, metal bikini fasteners, etc.

Artwork for branding & prints is required in Vector format in EPS, PDF, CDR, JPEG format, high resolution 300 dpi & to scale. If you require assistance with custom branding, layout, etc., our highly skilled graphics team is available to assist, in most cases, free of charge.

Discussing your custom branding ideas during the sampling process with your swimwear merchant can save weeks in the production process.

Reversible styles have a cutaway satin label sewn in.

Accessorizing

To ensure your swimwear stands out from the crowd, we add some luxe quality custom-branded accessories, giving your buyers that all-important WOW factor when they open their packages.

QC

All orders pass through three quality control stations before being approved for pickup.
A first station will assess the sizing and grading of the swimwear; a second station will check the stitching and ensure no loose threads; and a third station will steam press the swimwear where we add fabric and custom branded hangtags. Upon approval of each article, the barcode is added, and each article is packaged into biodegradable bags to be boxed ready for DHL to pick up.
An article will be removed and remade if it does not meet our strict standards.

Dispatch

Orders are dispatched via DHL or FedEx using our company account or yours. DHL arrives daily at our office, picking up orders & dropping off samples & accessories. Allow 3-5 working days from pickup to delivery to your door. Read more about Dispatch & Delivery.
