Patterning Cycle

The patterning cycle is the path an underwear model takes from the first prototype to its release for series production – a highly complex process of over 50 work steps that takes almost nine months and involves many employees.

From colour workshop to sales launch

From the colour workshop to the sales launch, the task is to develop the right models from the right fabrics, to advance production planning and to complete the market- and distribution-related preparations. Finally, the products are priced and released for the sales launch.

Why the effort pays off

Only this long process of testing and coordination ensures that nothing but fully matured models go into series production – with tested fit, approved materials and consistent workmanship.
