Yarn & colour selection
Review available yarns, knit textures and colour references before confirming the sample direction. Physical swatches and written colour references help align expectations.
DETAILS THAT SHAPE THE SAMPLE
Review the material, fit and finishing—not just the sketch.
Sample development brings several decisions together: colour and yarn selection, garment measurements, workmanship review and brand presentation. The images below show the kinds of details that can be discussed during development.
Measurements & fit review
Review key garment measurements against the agreed specification. Fit comments and measurement changes should be recorded clearly for the next sample decision.
Construction & workmanship
Examine the hand-feel, knit structure, finishing and visible details. The final review criteria should be agreed for the specific product rather than assumed to be universal.
Brand trims & packaging
Discuss main labels, care labels, hangtags and packaging during development. Custom labels generally require a minimum order quantity, so confirm specifications and quantities before bulk production.
SAMPLE DEVELOPMENT FOR FASHION BRANDS
From your product idea to a sample you can evaluate.
BARYSSO supports apparel and knitwear sample development through Dongguan’s established knitwear industry resources. We review your design, materials, construction, workmanship and intended order before confirming the development scope.
There is no universal sample price. Development fees are quoted individually after the project requirements have been reviewed.
A CLEARER START
Share what you know. We will help identify what still needs to be confirmed.
WHERE ARE YOU IN THE PROCESS?
Different projects need different starting points.
Choose the situation closest to yours. These are common project scenarios, not customer testimonials or guaranteed outcomes.
I have a tech pack
Share measurements, artwork, construction notes, materials and reference images for a technical review.
I have a reference garment
We can review the reference garment, available measurements and the details that can or cannot be inferred from it.
I have a design concept
Start with sketches, mood boards, target materials and intended retail positioning. Missing details can be discussed.
I need yarn or colour guidance
Tell us the preferred composition, hand feel, colour references and performance priorities. Availability and matching require review.
I need private-label details
List logo application, labels, hangtags, packaging and trim requirements so feasibility and related costs can be reviewed.
I am planning a bulk order
Share the target quantity, size and colour breakdown, target market and delivery window. The sampling plan should align with the intended order.
HOW SAMPLING WORKS
Eight steps from brief to review.
The exact sequence and timing depend on the product, materials, workmanship, partner capacity and how quickly decisions are confirmed.
Share the brief
Send your tech pack, reference images, sketches or initial requirements through PSQ or email.
Review feasibility
Review construction, yarn or fabric, workmanship, target quantity, timeline and information gaps.
Confirm scope and quotation
Confirm the proposed sample, materials, processes, deliverables, development fee and payment terms before work begins.
Arrange materials and development
After the agreed terms are met, coordinate material sourcing, pattern or program preparation and the required workmanship.
Make the sample
The sample is developed against the agreed brief. Any material or construction limitations are communicated for review.
Send the sample for your review
The sample is sent to you. After receipt, your team can try it on, test or evaluate it, and send feedback for the next decision.
Revise and confirm specifications
If revisions are needed, review the requested changes and confirm whether additional development work or charges apply. Approve the final specifications in writing.
Plan bulk production
Bulk production starts only after the order details, specifications, quantity, price, timeline and applicable terms have been agreed.
HOW DEVELOPMENT FEES ARE SET
Quoted for your actual project.
Sampling costs vary with the design complexity, material availability, yarn or fabric requirements, pattern or programming work, special techniques, sample quantity and requested revisions. We review these factors before issuing a project-specific quotation.
- The development scope and deliverables are clarified before payment.
- Material purchases or testing arrangements are discussed as part of the agreed scope.
- Any additional revision or extra work is discussed before proceeding.
PLAN FOR THE INTENDED ORDER
Sampling should match your buying plan.
Ready-stock styles
Mixed-style or mixed-item purchasing may be possible without a fixed minimum order quantity, subject to actual available inventory and confirmation.
Custom-developed styles
The general minimum order quantity is 100 pieces per style. The final quantity, colour and size breakdown must be reviewed for the specific project.
Repeat or adapted styles
Some previously developed styles may have records that help with review, but materials, colours, construction, timing and repeat feasibility must be reconfirmed.
BEFORE YOU SHARE SENSITIVE DETAILS
Prepare the information that matters.
You do not need every detail to start. The more relevant information you can provide, the easier it is to assess feasibility and prepare a meaningful quotation.
Product type, reference images or sketches
Measurements, size range and fit preferences
Material composition, yarn or fabric references
Colours, Pantone references and tolerance expectations
Special workmanship, logo, labels and packaging
Target quantity, target market and required timeline
Confidentiality:
If you need an NDA, review and agree on the applicable terms before sharing sensitive designs, artwork, tech packs or brand assets.
