Sampling & Production
For custom designs, we must produce samples. Provide a clear handover, such as front and back screenshots, tech packs, or clear line drawings, with any adjustment notes included. Send via email or WhatsApp for faster costings and precise sampling. When possible, keep your handovers to a maximum of one style per page. If you have selected ready-to-order styles, you can skip sampling and move straight to production.
Swimwear samples take about 2 to 4 weeks, depending on how many you require.
Production is about 3 to 4 weeks once all fabrics and accessories are in-house and payment, spec sheets, and branding approvals are complete. Timelines can vary slightly with design complexity, imported colours or prints, and the time of year.
For custom swimwear designs, the MOQ is 400 pieces.
For ready-to-order designs, the MOQ is 300 pieces across as many styles, colours, and sizes as you desire.
Yes, after your initial order.
Custom designs: 250 pieces, 50 per style and 5 per size and colour.

We hold Bali’s largest selection of imported recycled fabrics from REPREVE in the USA and Carvico in Italy. All fabrics have a super-soft handfeel, are body-enhancing, and offer UPF 50+ with saltwater and chlorine resistance. We are the only manufacturer in Bali offering digital printing on recycled American nylon, using OEKO-TEX certified inks for outstanding clarity and colour depth.

Yes. We import fabrics for many clients through our tax-free facility. We do not accept fabric shipments. All digital printing is handled on Italian MS machines for excellent clarity and depth.
Send vector files in AI, EPS, SVG, or CDR. If a vector is not possible, send high resolution JPEG, PNG, or PDF. Do not convert low-resolution images into vectors. Artwork should be repeatable and to scale. Our graphics team can help if needed, often at no extra charge. Read more at prints.
Ethics & Sustainability
