Ági Says
"I never expected to have a factory. I
always thought that I would use contractors to do the work,
but as
my business grew, I realized that the only way to get the
quality I
wanted was to make the clothes ourselves."
"Over the years we've taken more space as it became
available in our
building and have added specialty machines, cutting tables
and
finishing areas to become more efficient. We don't "piece"
the work
out. Each garment is sewn from beginning to end by one of
our
seamstresses. It takes a lot longer to manufacture this way
but the
results in quality and construction are worth the extra
time"
"This is the unglamorous part of the business, but it's the
backbone
of my company. Most of our seamstresses have worked for us
from 5 to 12 years and they take great pride in what they
do, they
are truly professionals and know how much I appreciate their
efforts. I can have the best design idea in the world but
that
wouldn't mean anything unless it's made properly."
"When we put something in the store,
every garment is checked before it goes out the door, and
it's
because of this that we have almost zero
returns."
"We also guarantee all workmanship and fabric and will
either fix or replace anything that might go wrong
within one year of purchase"
