Our Process

Six focused stages that move your garments from idea to production.

Designfrat combines New Zealand coordination with Sri Lanka manufacturing support to create a smoother workflow for development, approvals, production, and delivery.

01
Discovery & Planning

Initial Consultation

We discuss your brand, design requirements, target market, and technical needs through our New Zealand office so the project begins with a clear direction.
