The parts of a bag order that usually go wrong
Most bag programmes do not fail on price. They fail on the second shipment not matching the first, on a trim that was never tested for the destination market, or on a sample that was approved before anyone checked the bulk fabric.
1. Nothing moves without a written sign-off
Brief, prototype, pre-production sample, production. Each stage closes in writing before the next one starts, and the signed pre-production sample — not the prototype — is what the line copies.
2. The pre-production sample uses bulk material
Bulk fabric, bulk trims, bulk decoration. A sample sewn from leftover development material tells you nothing about what will come off the line.
3. Seams are inspected against the sample, not against opinion
Stitch density, bar-tacks at every stress point, and whether the notches met when the panels were closed. These are checked before the container is sealed.
4. Capacity beyond our own lines
Where a category is better served elsewhere, we place it with a BSCI-audited partner factory we already work with, and we stay the single point of contact and the single point of responsibility.
