Whether you are a seasoned designer or this is your first time designing a bag, we understand that reaching out to a factory and beginning the process of transforming your vision into a reality is no small step.
Choosing the right company to partner with will determine how seamlessly the sample development process will go. While having samples made overseas can be a lower investment, there are certain things only an American factory can offer.
Communication
Maybe the most important thing in any partnership, is that communication is a key element in getting your ideas across. As The Factory you can talk to, at Clutch Made we pride ourselves on our customer service, providing easy communication channels.
Most of the communication is email-based, but you always have the option of booking a free call to review questions you might have about your project. This call is the best way to get started as we discuss your project's needs and how we can help you achieve your design goals.
Materials
The materials and hardware used to make your sample will deeply impact the final result, and residing in the same country means there will be no surprises when your sample finally arrives.
We specialize in working with people from all over the country, and during the material sourcing stage of the sample development, we will be shipping submits of swatches so you can touch, feel, and review your options before choosing the materials you want for your sample.
Location x Shipping Time
After spending a few weeks working on tech pack development and selecting materials, seeing the finished sample as soon as possible is everyone's desire. Our sample makers take their time to ensure the patterns are correct and your accessory is made with the best finishes, so this usually takes a few weeks. However, once the sample is ready, being in the USA means we can deliver it to you within a week.
With an approved sample at the end of this process, you will have everything you need to move forward with production: a tech pack, the final list of materials, patterns, and a Top of Production sample.
Whether you are looking to have production made overseas or looking for a company to stick with in the long haul, making your sample in NYC with The Clutch Made Team is the best way to ensure a high-quality accessory.
