It means a lot to all of us that something we dream of becomes a reality. This is especially important on our side. It’s like a small piece of the seed sprouting and blossoming, and our dreams are coming true.

The dreams we establish with our team in line with colors, trends, and requests, and the designs that emerge from these dreams are the beginning of the process that plays a key role for us. We, as MarkaLab, start the design phase either for ourselves or for other brands in line with requests and dreams.

We draw every detail in detail, sometimes turning to the most traditional technology, imagining the fabric and cut, getting lost in the details from the thread to the button. At the end of the day, for the designs that we say “yes” or are called, the real process begins.

Sampling!

Let’s make a small reminder for those who do not know.

Sampling is one of the main processes in garment manufacturing and it plays a vital role in attracting buyers and confirming the order, as the buyers generally place the order once satisfied with the quality and responsiveness of the sampling. It is the most crucial and most important stage of fashion merchandising.

Because we can also characterize it as a thin line between dreams and reality. From a single room to thousands of shops and wardrobes…

The sampling process covers garment fit checking, fabric and trims quality checking, approval of value-added processes, and approval of complete finished garment. Most of the buyers have a standard requirement for garment sampling for the product for sourcing the bulk garment – what types of samples they need; when they need them; and how many pieces are needed for each sample type.

That’s where we come in with SampleLab. Normally, it can take a long time for a company to take a sample. At this point, we take you on this adventure in exactly 24 hours, do all the steps and deliver your dream product to you.

in an area of 1700m2. Located in Seyrantepe, SampleLab includes; proto sewings, usage of GTX pro (printing) machines, and Ghostshooting. Sample planting of all models whose design is completed is being carried out in SampLelab. In addition, for the product catalog that we will present to our customers at the end of the sample, professional shooting will be done with Ghost shooting for each model. Also, we are looking for details like a product/style code or a reference number, color specifications, kind of fabric, composition, description, quantity, and details of embroidery, buttons, zippers or any other sort of accessories used.

From design to fabric development, printing to ghost shooting in a one-of-a-kind laboratory. Once you get to SampleLab, all you have to do is sit back, dream and enjoy your personalized journey.

In this laboratory, where we examine and weave every point, we pay due attention to the most important process.

 

Not to mention the showroom part and our terrace where we enjoyed hosting everyone. Here we evaluate the samples we produce, and we get a little closer to the final step.

And we gladly continue to try every product until it reaches the reality you want.
