Q: We have our designs set and ready for sampling. What do you need to from us in order to start the product development?

If you plan to develop your custom designs, your jewelry or textile pieces need a proper tech pack - this is the blue print of your design. We can either help you and create the tech pack, or you can provide the tech pack yourself. There are various details a tech pack has to carry to help us understand your design better. Here you can find more details.
Usually the sample will be done in alternative fabric, nevertheless based on your request we can also provide a sample in the final fabric. We can discuss this on our on boarding call as well as further details.

The product development doesn’t end with the tech pack yet. Once the first proto sample/prototype is ready, we will send it to you for feedback until final approval for bulk production. We can help you to review the sample and do the fitting with the tech pack. One round of revision is included.

Through the sampling process we will ensure that you will receive the product you are after, in regards to quality, budget and aesthetic.

Q: What is the MOQ for production?

With our low MOQ of only 25 units per style and color we can cater your start-up brand as well as a small to medium size brand easily.

Q: I only want to manufacture with Stellar Creative. How much does it cost to produce my designs?

Generally, the cost of manufacturing clothing or jewelry depends on quality, quantity and the type of material you want to use. Therefore there is no fixed standard price.
In order to give you a clear answer we need a better understanding of your designs. Usually we require a proper tech pack from the brand which carries all relevant details such as CAD drawing, construction details and reference images, colors or print, fabrics, BOM, measurements, grading etc. and a few more instructions. Based on these factors we will be able to give you an estimated price quote. We will then make a PPS (Pre-Production Sample) which needs your feedback and approval. After that we can log in the final production price and with your approval, only then, we will go ahead with manufacturing your order.

Textile Samples: 5-10 business days
