Sample Development
CORE FRAMEWORK
What Quality Control & Audits Means
At GARMA C.B., Sample Development is the bridge between a design concept and a finished product. It involves creating physical prototypes to test the design, fabric, and fit. This meticulous phase ensures every stitch aligns with your vision before large-scale production begins.
Prototype to Approval
Rapid iteration of concepts into physical forms for stakeholder review and aesthetic confirmation.
Fit and Construction Review
Technical evaluation of garment drape, seam strength, and ergonomic movement on live models or mannequins.
Ready for Bulk Production
Finalizing the 'gold standard' sample that serves as the blueprint for all subsequent manufacturing units.
