Getting Started: The Spark of Inspiration

Every great design starts with an idea, a spark of inspiration that captures your imagination. At KOCO, we begin by listening. We want to understand the story behind your designs and the essence of what you’re trying to convey. This initial consultation is where the magic of collaboration begins, setting the foundation for everything that follows.

Pattern Writing: The Blueprint of Creation

The journey from concept to creation begins with the tangible step of pattern writing. Our talented team of pattern writers work to ensure that every nuance of your design is captured in a detailed knitting pattern. This blueprint is essential for our knitters, guiding them to reproduce your vision accurately and consistently.

Material Selection: The Heart of Your Garment

Choosing the right yarn is about more than just color or texture; it’s about ensuring the material reflects the quality and sustainability of your brand. We help you navigate this selection, offering options aligning with your creative and ethical standards. We have developed contacts worldwide to source the world’s finest and most innovative yarns. Whether it’s luxurious merino wool, eco-friendly bamboo fibers, or a rich collection of recycled yarns, we source the best materials to bring your designs to life.

The Artisan Touch: Bringing Designs to Life

With patterns and materials ready, our artisans begin the heart of the process: hand-knitting your designs. Each stitch is made with care and precision, embodying the skill and dedication of our team. This stage is where the true spirit of your design emerges, knitted into every loop and stitched by our master knitters.

Quality Assurance: The Promise of Perfection

Each garment undergoes rigorous quality control checks during production and before it leaves our hands. Led by our experienced QC team, this process ensures every piece meets both KOCO’s and your exacting standards. Over many years, our trainers and systems have constantly refined the KOCO process. We rise to the creative challenges of our brand partners and designers to ensure we can deliver your vision. It’s our promise of perfection, guaranteeing that your knitwear is not just handmade but masterfully created.

Seamless Logistics: Ensuring Smooth Transitions

After our rigorous quality assurance checks, the journey of your knitwear design enters a critical phase – logistics. We understand the creation of your garment doesn’t end with knitting; it must reach you efficiently and reliably. Our dedicated logistics team, in partnership with trusted carriers like DHL, organize receiving supplies and shipping your finished designs.

We manage every detail of the logistics process, from the careful packaging of garments to ensure they arrive in pristine condition to navigating customs and delivery schedules precisely. Our goal is to make the final step of your design’s journey as seamless and worry-free as the rest, providing you with a complete service that extends far beyond knitting. Whether coordinating the arrival of specialty yarns for your project or organizing the shipment of your finished collection to multiple destinations worldwide, KOCO’s logistics support is designed to keep your project on track and on time.
