Uniquely beautiful designs and outstanding service throughout the years, has made our Studio the design source of choice. Many of our fabrics are still in use at name brand companies and knitting mills all over the globe. Fabdesigns, Inc. continues to create proprietary designs confidentially for many prominent companies. Most of our customers come to us with specific ideas in mind, and a need to develop them into designs to fit in their lines. Whether they are small novelty designs, large garment panels, technical fabrics, jacquard patterns, complex fashion panels or they require particular colors or repeat we are able to accommodate almost any request. We also develop entire lines of designs and have affiliate graphic and industrial designers with many specialized areas of expertise whom we can bring onto a project from molding, screen print design, to woven designs. Customized designs created for licensed products, are the most complex since they must comply with restrictions of the licensor. Understanding the way most licensing companies approve design work is a key factor to our success. We also can help you certify your green products, source production, or find green, sustainable fibers for manufacturing. All work is confidential and is never shared with any other clients. We provide services in several phases, based on budget and client needs. We are a full service studio that is deadline driven.
Our focus and dedication to every individual project, combined with competitive pricing structures, gives you the piece of mind of buying art and services from a highly trusted, experienced and professional design studio. Every project and client is different so call us for personalized attention and any questions. How it works: We customize your project according to what you need. We can align a full blown multi-phase project or an a-la cart service arrangement to tweak a small gap in supporting your in-house team’s effort. We try to work within your company’s development budget and give you a project estimate up front. We also let you know the cost of any revision work and what’s included so that we all manage expectations, resources and time wisely. Depending on the size and scope of your needs we usually can arrive on a budget that suits most companies.
Phase 1. Initial meeting-Consultation. We create a design brief with the client that outlines the scope of the project, Manufacturing capabilities / limitations, key milestones, a realistic time line for meeting those goals, we identify which areas the client wishes us to focus on, and what their specific needs truly are. Our first phase of R&D work speaks to the client's desire for conveying a particular "Brand image". We take into consideration the end consumer’s lifestyle, environment, demographics, psychographics; Our client’s merchandising strategies, specific features of their brand, merchandising characteristics of the store racks, interesting details and other aspects that are distinct to that particular client and customer shopping experience. We deliver: Design Brief, timeline, project contract/budget estimate (pro-forma invoice). We can deliver: JPG, Tiff, or PSD renderings in layers. If the client has a stitch count from their factory the digital fabric can be rendered according to the mill requirements. We create the digital jacquards based on body placement, manufacturing equipment, client’s supplied cutting pattern and stitch counts, any hardware. Jacquards can be emailed via SIRIX-mail to other Stoll mills around the world. Photoshop work can be emailed or burned onto a disk for client's PC or MAC. Options for knit designs: -
Should the client needs swatches of jacquards or structures, we can program Stoll Sintrail to achieve the desired result. Cost of programming depends on complexity of fabrication. Fees start at $350 for example a basic 2 or 3 color jacquard with a standard industry rib. Swatching is charged per hour plus a fee for set up, yarns, and a nominal fee per hour for any machine accessories (such as intarsia feeders, plaiting feeders, back winders, etc.). We deliver: a body sized swatch (usually 24”X24”)
Our original flat knit designs contain fresh images, unique motifs and richly textured patterns complimented by unusual blends of some of our very favorite yarns; soft, luxurious yarns such as Italian extra-fine viscose, soft mercerized cotton, decadent rayon boucle, lurex and other exquisite fibers. We adeptly combine the age-old methods of quality and design with state of the art textile technology. High tech CAD and sophisticated European looms make quick turns possible for our clients.
