Custom Bra Development: From Brief to Approved Bulk Production
By LXSC · Sourcing and product-development guides
Original new-design bra production at LXSC starts from 10,000 pieces and requires project-specific feasibility review. It is different from ordering an existing catalog model at a 100-piece minimum per model. A development plan should define the input, output and approval needed at each stage before bulk production is released.
Confirm the route and development scope
Describe the intended customer, size system, appearance and functional requirements. Identify any authorized reference and what must change. Ask whether the request can use an existing model, needs an adaptation or requires a new pattern or tooling. A minimum quantity does not guarantee that every requested construction can be manufactured.
Agree outputs, fees and approvers
Set the sampling and tooling scope, ownership, payment milestones and any credit conditions in writing. Do not assume a fixed number of revisions or a universal lead time. Keep an approved specification revision so a later request can be identified as a change rather than absorbed into an ambiguous original brief.
| Stage | Output | Release condition |
|---|---|---|
| Feasibility | Proposed route and open technical questions | Buyer and supplier accept the scope |
| First development sample | Identified sample with measurements | Comments recorded and revisions agreed |
| Size and material approval | Approved range and components | Required checks completed |
| Pre-production approval | Production-reference sample and packing | Named approver signs the final revision |
| Bulk and dispatch | Inspection and shipment records | Agreed release conditions satisfied |
Approve fit, materials and the size range separately
One attractive sample does not establish a full size run. Review the intended range, relevant size samples, material substitutions and construction changes explicitly. Test performance claims using appropriate evidence before including them in listings or labels. If a critical requirement remains unresolved, hold the next stage instead of treating silence as approval.
Release bulk against a stable reference
Confirm component availability, production scheduling, inspection criteria and packing files before the bulk start. Separate the planned factory completion date from transport and warehouse receipt. Any later deviation needs a recorded approval and an assessment of cost and timing. Retain the final specification and reference sample for later orders.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is custom OEM production available at the catalog minimum?+
Original new designs start from 10,000 pieces. Existing catalog models start at 100 pieces per model; modifications require a separate assessment.
Does approving one sample approve every size?+
No. Define the intended size range and required size-sample approvals separately.
Send your model or project requirements, quantities, size and color plan, and destination. Julie can confirm the applicable order route and what the quotation includes.
Existing-style wholesale starts from 100 pieces per model. Original-design custom production starts from 10,000 pieces. Color and size allocation, branding and packaging terms are confirmed separately.
