This is the first range of samples that I have developed of my designs with multiple factories. The purpose of this was to see how difficult it was to deal with 3-4 different factories , producing different products, but with the same design features, colours, processes, materials and logo's to produce matching sets.
This process set out to be extremely difficult at first, with 13 samples coming back completely wrong or some right and then the other products not matching. This was a very good project for me to set out on as it really helped me learn where the language barrier and communication was breaking down between the factories, my translators and of course ME, and what systems and processes I had to put in place to ensure quality assurance and control while dealing with multiple factories and multiple projects. This eventually turned out to be an extremely beneficial project. Even though some hard times were endured , I really established a strong respect and understanding with the factories that I was working with of the level of quality that I and the Australian market demand.
The samples range that I had designed consisted of Hats, T-shirts, Hoodies, & shoes, all with a common artwork and fabrics. So as you can see all the products came from my raw design and eventually into product and then into catalogue form.
