OEM when you have a specification. ODM when you need development input.
OEM is most effective when your team arrives with a defined technical brief. ODM becomes valuable when the product direction is clear but the construction, material route or production solution still needs to be developed. In either case, the objective is a garment that lands as intended, not merely one that can be made.
Apparel categories to develop
Use these product families to start a conversation; the final range is set with your team after reviewing the design, material, pattern, construction and intended market.
- Knitwear: sweaters, cardigans, knit tops, dresses and separates.
- Cut-and-sew apparel: shirts, blouses, tops, dresses, skirts, trousers, shorts and outer layers.
- Mixed-construction styles: knit combined with woven fabric, embroidery, hand crochet or print.
- Accessories: scarves, shawls and small blankets.
- Collection development: coordinated private-label styles based on a tech pack, sketch, sample or moodboard.
Have another category in mind? Include a reference and target use; the team can review feasibility and confirm the appropriate production route with you.
From product family to production-ready brief
- Start with the garment: category, intended wearer, silhouette and how it should be used.
- Define the material direction: fibre or fabric preference, weight, drape, hand-feel and any reference swatches.
- Share construction details: measurements, artwork, trims, stitch or finish references, and grading needs if available.
- Align the programme: target market, planned style count, estimated quantities and timing so feasibility can be reviewed.
Where Auralis Atelier is most useful
- Premium ready-to-wear programmes that include knitwear and other apparel categories.
- Collections that combine knit with woven fabric, embroidery, hand crochet or print.
- Product teams that need constructive feedback during sample development.
- Brands that value a clear path from feasibility through sample review and final inspection.
A decision-led production path
Feasibility before promises
We look at what the garment needs to do before committing to a route: material behaviour, construction, workmanship, target, timing and approval points.
Samples that answer the right questions
Sampling is a working phase, not a formality. It should prove fit, finish, hand-feel and technical execution so the bulk approval is meaningful.
Production that protects the approved intent
Once the specifications are approved, production is managed around consistency, in-line control, finishing and final inspection.
Questions buyers ask
Do you make apparel beyond sweaters?
Yes. In addition to knitwear and accessories, the team can discuss shirts, blouses, tops, dresses, skirts, trousers and other apparel briefs. Share the product references so construction and feasibility can be confirmed for the specific style.
Can I start without a finished tech pack?
Yes. A sketch, reference garment, moodboard or early product brief can start the discussion. The team will identify the details needed to move into development.
Do you offer OEM and ODM?
Both routes can be discussed. OEM starts from your defined specification; ODM includes development input on materials, construction and product decisions. The project route is agreed after reviewing the brief.
