5-Step Glove Development Process: A Snapshot
[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]As the buyer, you may have a basic idea of what features you want in a glove. But if not, Roger, Ed and Peter — the \”master glovers\” at Olympia — have over 90 years in the glove business.
Glove design options are numerous — but we\’ll guide you throught the process, and help you get it done.
Every glove project is different, but here\’s the basic 5-step design process that we follow:
1. After NDA\’s and other up-front needs are met, we review your goals and merchandising plans, target customer, trends, and inspiration samples. We review your design brief, if you have one — or simply have a discussion of what the glove should be, and for whom.
2. Our designers interpret your direction with sketches, and instructions are sent to our factory sample room for the first round of samples. We expedite materials and the first round of samples are made by hand.
3. We review initial prototype samples with you … and your likes, dislikes, and refinements are communicated to the factory for a second or even third round of samples.
4. We review material options/costs/pricing/margins, and finalize design details.
Of course, this process varies depending on how complicated and novel your glove concept is.
