Luxury Swimwear Specialists
Swimwear - the closest you’ll be to being naked in public (hopefully!) Swimwear is a highly specialised discipline of patternmaking. From the fabric choice to the fasteners and clever construction, all components come together to create high quality and long lasting garments. Swimwear requires accuracy and attention to detail, 5mm of fabric can be the difference between a style looking too risqué, too matronly or exactly just right. With experience working with top Australian Swimwear labels, we have a wealth of knowledge and the skills to bring your swimwear label to life. Luxury Swimwear, that is manufactured with care in Australia is our main focus and passion!
Product Development - Do you have a design idea you want brought to life? We can develop your ideas from sketch, photo, sample… (even a verbal description!) and transform them into tangible products.
Patternmaking - We create our patterns digitally, using the latest version of Lectra Modaris CAD Software. From first patterns, through alterations and fittings to final production patterns, we have got you covered. The digital patterns can then be emailed as required to manufacturers.
