PPS sampling.

Our stage-based PPS system checks design intent and structure at every step, cutting unnecessary sampling cost and time.

CAD instead of hand patterns, a paper mock-up before any sample. The final sample lands in one go.

Steps

CAD pattern

Patterns are engineered in CAD, so revisions and grading move fast.

FAQ.

What is your minimum order quantity (MOQ)?

From 50 pcs for production in Korea, and from 150 pcs for production in China.

How long does sampling take?

From about two weeks. Our in-house development team in Seoul makes the patterns and samples themselves, with nothing outsourced.

We don't have a professional designer or a detailed tech pack. Can you still make our product?

Yes, absolutely. Even without a formal tech pack, a physical sample you like, photos or a simple idea sketch is enough. Our specialists will work out the details with you, so feel free to get in touch.

What products do you make?

Bags, wallets, belts, keyrings, shoes and other small leather goods, plus living items such as trays and coasters, for luxury, premium, contemporary, wholesale and artist-merchandise lines.

Which materials do you work with?

Genuine leather, vegan leather, cotton, nylon, polyester, and special materials such as PVC.

Where is production done?

We develop in Seoul and produce in Korea, at our own factory in Qingdao, and with partner factories in Dongguan, Guangzhou and Yiwu. We recommend the location that fits your quantity, material and target cost.

How do you manage quality?

Production is managed to ISO 9001 and ISO 14001, inspected against our own standard, ASQ (Amescotes Standard Quality), and supported with after-sales service after delivery.

What do samples cost and what is the production lead time?

Both depend on the product and quantity, so we confirm them with your quote. Our PPS process fixes size and structure at the paper and toile stages, which cuts the number of samples and their cost.

Do you work with brands outside Korea?

Yes. We work with Japanese brands through our Japan subsidiary and supply distributors in China, Japan and Indonesia.

Our product was made at another factory, and the pattern and material details are unclear. Can you take it on?

Yes. Send us the existing product (a physical sample) and we will rebuild the pattern from it as new technical drawings, then source high-quality materials closest to the originals to recreate the same look and feel.

We saw a leather sample. Can it be made in fabric or synthetic leather instead?

Yes, of course. When the material changes, we redesign the internal reinforcement that holds the shape, along with the pattern, so the original design fit is kept. It also works the other way: fabric or synthetic leather products can be converted into premium leather.

How do I get started?
