All happy families are alike; they are all dressed in knitwear.
Our Services
Our work combines the expertise of a designer with the precision of a product manager, overseeing every aspect of the product’s journey.
We specialize in developing your sample from every angle, balancing both technical and aesthetic elements. Whether you need original designs crafted from scratch, aligned with the latest seasonal trends, or support in managing prototyping, production, and quality control, we’ve got you covered.
Located in Milan, our studio sits at the heart of the fashion industry’s leading districts, fostering a strong connection with the dynamic realities that surround us.
We transform your ideas into tangible products, guiding each step with precision.
From an initial briefing with your design team, we shape your vision—whether it’s a sketch or a concept—by researching shapes, textures, yarns, and suppliers. We handle every detail, from fabric selection and treatments to prototypes, so you can focus solely on approvals.
Once the prototype is finalized, we create fit samples for complex designs, define size grading, and ensure measurement accuracy. A final quality check on the top sample and production guarantees a flawless end result.
