Fabric Development
Selection of fabric: There are thousands of fabric designs and fabric quality. Fabric selection is done based on fabric quality required, like fabric color, fibre content, surface texture, hand feel, physical and chemical properties. If the required fabric is already available in the market, SIPO will purchase those fabrics from the stock. Our sourcing department need to explore various places for finding the required fabrics. Otherwise, we will work with the fabric supplier to develop the desired fabric quality.
Fabric development: The garment maker gives the fabric quality requirement to the fabric supplier for developing a new fabric design. At the fabric development stage, the negotiation of fabric price is done with the fabric vendors. Lab dip and desk loom are developed at this stage prior to bulk fabric order. Prior to bulk sourcing, fabric sample is tested to check whether the desired quality is matched with the developed fabric or not.
