FAQs
ekakrti is based in Bangalore, INDIA
ekakrti is currently dedicated to garment production. While services like Moodboards, Conceptualization, Range Plans, and Designing Development are not available at this stage, we plan to incorporate them in the near future.
We do not provide Fabric Dyeing, Digital Printing, or Denim Wash services.
Sourcing activities for Fabrics and Trims are carried on a case-by-case basis, depending on the requirements and complexity.
However, it is preferred that designers arrange fabric deliveries to our Bangalore unit before sampling or production.
ekakrti does not enforce a fixed Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ), as each project varies in complexity.
Minimums are determined based on your collection's intricacy and specifications.
We do not have a standard rate card; quotes are provided based on your project brief.
We work exclusively with woven fabrics of varying weights, including cotton, linen, silk, chiffon, wool, among others.
However, we do not work with knit fabrics.
ekakrti is committed to inclusivity, offering both womenswear and menswear sampling and production services.
Turnaround times vary based on the complexity and quantity of orders, in addition to shipping durations.
ekakrti offers comprehensive Sampling and Production services, encompassing a multitude of steps including pattern making, grading, marking, sourcing*, costing, incorporation of trims, precision cutting, expert sewing, thorough finishing, quality control, and careful packing, among others. Given the intricate nature of these processes, providing a detailed breakdown of each cost is impractical. Our production pricing is all-encompassing, excluding only shipping costs. We take pride in delivering "ready to sell" garments adorned with your custom label, size label, and tags. However, if your specific inquiry pertains to the cost of paper pattern services alone, we would address this on a case-by-case basis, tailored to your unique requirements and project complexity.
In adherence to our commitment to client anonymity and design confidentiality, we do not publish our projects in a catalog. However, you are invited to schedule an appointment to explore our in-house collections.
We offer samples from our in-house collection at a specified cost and within a defined timeframe.
Please note that these services are not complimentary, and projects from our clients are not included in sample offerings.
As a made-to-order manufacturer, we do not maintain ready-made collections for white labeling.
ekakrti thoroughly conducts quality control checks at every production stage. The fabric undergoes a careful examination initially to ensure its flawless condition before proceeding to the cutting department.
Regular inspections are conducted throughout all production stages, and a final inspection is carried out for 100% of the products before they proceed to the packing department.
