before you decide

Clear answers about approval flow.

01Do every order require the same confirmations?

No. The scope of approval is determined on an order-by-order basis according to product structure, materials, brand applications and delivery method.

02Who should make the decision?

Identifying authorized people in your brand at the beginning to make decisions that affect the product's appearance, cost or delivery date speeds up the process.

03What happens if a decision is delayed?

Delay in fabric, sample or production decision may affect the start of next steps. When the date effect occurs, the new plan is clarified in writing.

It is aimed to share important product, material and production decisions in writing and in a way that has the same meaning for everyone.
