Bridal and Eveningwear Development
San Francisco

About

At TEG San Francisco, we pride ourselves on being an invaluable resource for bridal and evening wear designers from around the U.S.  In a vertically-integrated factory on Market Street, right in the heart of San Francisco, TEG has a special development and production emphasis on bridalwear, eveningwear, and couture construction.  This provides an excellent resource for bridalwear and  high-end designers seeking small volume fulfillment for orders ranging from 1-10 pieces per order.  

All garments are sewn by seasoned year-round full-time employees, allowing the highest level of quality to be found.  These highly-skilled sample production sewers are well-versed in the special handling of the most complex textiles or complex gown projects.  Most of our in-house team have worked together for many years and all regard their sewing as their craft, taking each project into special consideration. The SF team works closely with the designer to create a customized program for their collection's unique development and production needs.

Examples of recent bridal and eveningwear designers TEG has developed include the following:

Services

Clients work directly with our team, to create patterns and samples, with special attention to the details and construction to suit their market.  During the development process, TEG will house all fabrics and trims securely, providing a beautiful workspace for the brand.  Following a similar format as TEG's standard development packages, the services have been altered slightly to best-serve these designers' detail and complexity, from concept through small volume production.  

Once styles are developed, TEG will provide production costing for 3 different volume levels (1-10 pieces, 10-50 pieces, and 50-100 pieces).  There is a $150 costing fee that will be applied to any production contracts placed.  For active clients, TEG will house the designer's pattern library in it's facility.  The designer maintains their inventory of fabrics and trims, and provides the necessary amounts to fulfill each order.  This service works very well for bridal designers fulfilling individual orders, or very small volume of up to 10 pieces per style.

Background

Drawing on the distinct backgrounds of TEG International's development team, all with extensive experiences in couture,  this service is designed to allow creativity an uniqueness in formalwear and bridal wear, made locally and beautifully by hand.  Together, our craftsmen create the ideal team to allow forward, unique designs, conceptualized by our client's designs.
