DEVELOP
Engineered for the Customer, Sourced for You & the Planet
At RESTORE Clothing, development is where vision meets engineering. This stage transforms ideas into wearable reality through an intentional process of refinement, precision, and collaboration. For designers and brands searching for a development partner to bring their fashion lines to life, our studio offers the structure, expertise, and network needed to turn creative concepts into beautifully executed garments.
We understand that apparel development isn’t just about making samples—it’s about creating a system for consistent, scalable production. Having the right supply network allows us to move efficiently from initial fabric swatches and trims to pattern refinement, fittings, and production-ready prototypes. Each iteration brings your garment closer to perfection, ensuring it not only looks great but performs, fits, and feels exactly as your customer expects.
Our development process begins with collaboration. We review your design intent, study your technical specifications, and refine details such as fabric behavior, fit adjustments, and construction methods. Through a series of fittings and sample reviews, we help you achieve the ideal balance between creativity and manufacturability. Whether you’re developing activewear, outerwear, swimwear, or ready-to-wear collections, our experienced technical design team ensures your garments are engineered for comfort, durability, and style.
We handle every stage of apparel product development with precision. Our team creates or refines tech packs, coordinates pattern making and grading, manages fit sessions, and tracks each prototype through multiple rounds of revision until the product meets your design standards and production requirements. We work closely with both domestic and global factories, ensuring every step aligns with your quality benchmarks, cost targets, and brand values.
Having built long-standing relationships within the NYC Garment Center and beyond, we source and develop with efficiency and integrity. Our trusted supplier network gives us access to mills, fabric converters, trim vendors, and sample rooms that specialize in the full spectrum of apparel categories. From performance textiles to organic cotton, regenerated nylons, recycled polyesters, and low-impact dyes, we identify the materials that elevate your product while meeting sustainability goals.
Source — Sustainability Is in Our DNA
Sustainability isn’t an afterthought—it’s embedded in the way we develop every collection. RESTORE prioritizes eco-friendly sourcing, ethical labor practices, and responsible production at every stage of the supply chain. For brands and designers seeking sustainable manufacturing partners, we offer guidance on selecting materials and factories that reflect your environmental and social values.
We believe in sourcing smarter, not just cheaper. That means working with suppliers who share our commitment to transparency, traceability, and circularity. Whether you’re producing domestically or offshore, we identify mills and factories with certifications such as GOTS, OEKO-TEX, Bluesign, and Fair Trade, ensuring that your finished garments meet international sustainability standards.
Our sourcing strategy focuses on balancing design integrity with planetary impact. We help you evaluate material options based on lifecycle considerations, from fiber origin to end-of-life recyclability. We connect you with fabric mills that specialize in organic cottons, TENCEL™, bamboo, hemp, and recycled fibers—materials that align with both your aesthetic goals and your brand’s sustainability mission.
By integrating responsible sourcing into development, we enable brands to create collections that resonate with modern consumers—those who value authenticity, transparency, and ethical production. The result is a product that feels good, performs beautifully, and stands for something meaningful.
Our team also emphasizes local and nearshore manufacturing opportunities. When possible, we source and produce within the United States, minimizing carbon footprints, shortening lead times, and supporting the domestic apparel industry. For brands seeking global scalability, we connect you with vetted international partners who share the same standards for quality and sustainability.
At RESTORE, development is about aligning design, sourcing, and production into a seamless process. We guide you through each phase with clarity and communication, ensuring every decision supports both your business goals and the planet’s needs.
