Challenge
The constraint
Vestra needed a festive range with complex intarsia and a consistent hand-feel across 14 styles, but had been burned by reorders that drifted in shade and fit from the approved sample.
Approach
What we did
We developed all 14 styles against a single sealed reference garment, ran a managed shade library, and produced bulk on our circular and flat knitting lines with bundle ticketing back to the reference.
Result
What it delivered
The reorder matched the salesman’s sample at 1:1 across a four-month season. Shade variance stayed inside the approved window on every lot, and Vestra moved the whole range to us.

Sampling & Development
Proto, fit and sales samples with a documented make-sheet so bulk production is a repeat, not a re-invention.
