Who we are

NAC Studio is an apparel manufacturing partner with in-house design development, not a pattern house or a knitting mill. We help independent designer brands turn a concept into a finished, producible collection — without ever showing one client's work to another. For who we are and why founders trust us, see our About page.

What we do

We develop non-knit apparel end to end. We do not take knitwear or sweaters. Minimum order is 50 pieces per style; sampling in 7–10 days, bulk in 60 days.

Design development

From your sketch or reference to a resolved, manufacturable design — silhouette, construction, material direction.

Pattern & tech pack

Grading, pattern making, and full tech packs you own and can take anywhere.

Draping & fitting

Live draping in the real fabric and fitting to de-risk samples before cloth is cut.

Sampling

Proto, fit and sales samples to production standard, typically within 3 rounds.

Bulk production

60-day bulk runs from 50 pcs/style, with partner printing and embroidery.

Sustainable sourcing

GOTS / GRS-certified and sustainable fabrics sourced through vetted mills.

Sampling workflow

A typical development runs through about three sample rounds before bulk. We keep the loop tight so fit and construction are solved on the stand, not after the order is placed.

  1. Brief & tech pack You share your concept, references and constraints. We confirm feasibility and the development plan before any work starts.
  2. Proto sample (Round 1) First toile / proto built to test silhouette, construction and proportion. Adjusted on the stand in the real fabric where the shape is complex.
  3. Fit & revision (Round 2) Revised sample resolving fit, detailing and material. This is where most development risk is retired.
  4. Sales / PP sample (Round 3) Pre-production sample signed off to production standard — the reference for bulk.
  5. Bulk 60-day production, quality controlled, shipped FOB, CIF or DDP.

Confidentiality

Your designs are yours. Every engagement is covered by a signed NDA; each brand is developed in its own isolated, access-controlled space; and one client's work is never shown to another. This is the reason many founders choose us.
