At Ametlab all our services revolve around the two foundations of manufacture: Production and Logistics. Both require separate activities, but there is a strong connection between the two to achieve the most streamlined and cost-effective production.

Designs usually arrive to us already in a tech pack. We also welcome drawings or a sample of your own if you prefer and we can work from these to create your patterns. The process of pattern making, pattern placement and size grading is taken care of by our Production Technicians. The patterns are created on the most up to date software and CAD programs to ensure a perfect outcome including the size grading. With the aid of computer software, pattern placement is also important at this stage to eliminate wastage and elevated costs. This is the basis of the final garment. From the new pattern we make up prototypes, culminating in a canvas sample ready for production. This is a vital step as you are able to check the ‘finished’ product before we start cutting, and any desired or necessary tweaks to your design happens at this stage.

Sourcing Fabrics and Trims: The Ametlab Approach
At Ametlab, sourcing fabrics and trims is more than just procurement—it’s a meticulous process driven by innovation, sustainability, and performance. Whether curating materials for a high-fashion collection or developing technical textiles for cutting-edge applications, we ensure that every fabric and trim is fit for purpose, technologically advanced, and environmentally responsible.

Where and How We Source
We travel extensively to source the best materials, starting with Milano Unica, one of the premier textile trade shows in the world. Italy remains a cornerstone of our sourcing strategy, thanks to its renowned heritage in textile production and its commitment to sustainability. However, we also expand our search across Europe and beyond whenever a specific technical fabric or specialized trim is required.

Our sourcing philosophy is rooted in selecting the best suppliers that align with our core values of sustainability and innovation. We constantly research and evaluate the latest industry advancements to provide our clients with the finest materials that meet both aesthetic and functional needs.

Sustainability at the Forefront
With the fashion and textile industries undergoing a significant shift towards eco-conscious practices, we ensure that all our sourced materials are organic, sustainable, and certified. This means working with manufacturers who adhere to strict environmental standards, reducing waste, and utilizing processes that have minimal impact on the planet. By prioritizing fabrics and trims that are responsibly produced, we help brands create collections that not only look great but also support a greener future.

Innovation Meets Functionality
A beautiful fabric is only as good as its performance. That’s why, at Ametlab, we place equal emphasis on functionality and technological advancements. We seek out fabrics that are breathable, durable, and adaptable to various design needs, whether for haute couture, ready-to-wear, or performance wear. Our partnerships with cutting-edge textile innovators ensure that the materials we provide are ahead of the curve—featuring properties such as moisture-wicking, thermal regulation, and eco-friendly dyeing techniques.

A Wide Selection from Leading Manufacturers
By working closely with Italian manufacturers and other top-tier European producers, we guarantee access to high-quality fabrics and trims that support the vision of any collection. Italian textile production is known for its artisanal expertise and low environmental impact, making it a prime choice for designers seeking excellence and sustainability in one package.
