How the factory works
NOVA is a womenswear factory in Panyu, Guangzhou. Pattern-making, sampling, bulk production and inspection all happen with us, not with a subcontractor you never hear about.
Pattern room
Every order starts in the pattern room. We draft the pattern from your sketch, photo or reference garment, write up the measurements for every size, and keep both on file for reorders.
Sampling
We cut and sew the sample in 3–5 days, review it with you point by point, and make the pre-production sample that the whole order is held to.
Bulk production
Cutting, sewing and finishing take 20–25 days, with checks on the line as pieces come through.
Inspection and packing
Every order is checked against the approved sample and the size chart before it is packed and shipped. See How quality control works on a bulk order.
What we make
Womenswear, all of it: dresses, blouses and tops, blazers, skirts, trousers, knitwear, coats and outerwear, and sets. If your style sits somewhere between categories, send it anyway.
In numbers
We keep the numbers short and true: a minimum of 100 pieces, 3–5 days for a sample, 20–25 days for bulk production, and more than 10 years making garments.
