Custom Cardigan Development

Cardigan Development Built Around Your Tech Pack

Cardigans are the most construction-sensitive style in a knitwear range: the front opening, button or zip placement, collar shape and body length all interact with the knit structure. Our team reviews each element before sampling so the first sample is as close to your intent as possible.

OEM / ODM

OEM and ODM Cardigan Manufacturing

Both models can support your cardigan programme. Which one fits depends on how complete your design specification already is and how much development support your project needs.

OEM Cardigan Manufacturing You provide the tech pack, measurements, yarn, colour and construction details. We manufacture the cardigans to your approved specification, with sampling before bulk so fit, gauge and finish are confirmed in advance.
ODM Cardigan Manufacturing You provide a design direction, reference photo or product concept. We support yarn selection, gauge, knit structure, fit development and sampling to turn that direction into a producible cardigan.

How It Works

A single development path, with each stage confirmed before the next one starts, so nothing is produced against an unapproved specification.

04
