Synthetic leather & sewn goods.
Sourcing to production.

We specialise in synthetic leather, contract sewing and finished-product OEM. We find manufacturers, review samples and specifications, and work with factories to agree production requirements.

Material review starts with the product

The right material starts with
knowing how it will be used.

From bags and hats to automotive accessories, we review materials and processing methods to suit each product’s structure and use.

01 · Synthetic leather

Not just the surface.
We look at structure and use.

Colour and grain, backing fabric, thickness, feel, and the tests the product requires. We look at how the material is used today and find samples and suppliers that fit.

If no available material meets the specification, we review alternative materials or processes with the factory. Before production, the buyer approves the reference sample, and the buyer, REGEN and the factory agree on the inspection items.

PVC synthetic leather

We review thickness, backing fabric and grain for the intended use, and agree any printing or surface treatment with the factory.

PU synthetic leather

Samples are compared against the intended use and processing method. Test items and conditions are agreed with the supplier.

Material review checklist

Silicone synthetic leather

We source the material, confirm the specification and test conditions, and develop samples with the supplier.

02 · Fabric and processing

What the finished product needs
becomes the material specification.

Fabric and backing, printing, coating and lamination, embossing and colour development. We read the design you can see and the conditions production actually needs at the same time.

03 · Sewing and product development

We choose the materials
and take the order through sewing production.

We settle the trims a cap or bag needs and agree sewing conditions with the factory. Knowing the product is what makes the right material and processing possible.

REGEN does not run its own factory; we work with the factory that fits the project. Before production starts, we set who handles what and which items are inspected.

Agreeing responsibilities before production

Buyer
Product purpose, quantity and schedule; sample and specification approval
REGEN
Manufacturer evaluation, material and process proposals, production coordination
Partner factory
Manufacturing and process control to the agreed specifications

From what you ordered to what could be better

Meeting the specification is the baseline; we also look at what you want to change in the product. Suggesting a different material, thickness or process before you ask is what we mean by ODM.

What we settle before production

    Purpose and requirements

    We start with the use, reference samples, quantity and schedule. Where a specification is still open, we work through it together.

  2. Comparing print artwork and colorways

    Samples and approval criteria

    Material, colour and processing samples are compared to fix the approval standard, and quote and order terms are settled at the same time.

    Production, inspection and dispatch

    We set what is checked during production and who inspects and ships. If the specification changes or a problem appears, the response is agreed in advance.

Minimum order, development time and lead time depend on the item and the factory. Once the scope is clear, we check the conditions and come back to you.
