## What they make

- The Rome atelier develops womenswear, menswear, lingerie, swimwear, bridal and other apparel, with cut-and-sew work and hand embroidery.

## Minimums and pricing

- Technical work can start with one garment style. Production starts around 20 units per style; smaller quantities are considered individually at a higher unit price.
- Development is EUR 499 for a tech pack, EUR 1,500 for a paper pattern or EUR 1,999 for both, per style. Samples, grading and garment production are separate.

## Samples and lead times

- Sampling starts at EUR 299 per paid round, excluding fabric, materials, trims and shipping. Acceptance into sampling is separate from buying technical work.
- Estimates are 7–10 business days for a tech pack, 1–3 weeks for a pattern plus courier, 4–6 weeks per sample round and 6–8 weeks for production.
- Technical timing starts with the order and complete final brief.
  - Accepted stage bookings control later work. Schedules pause for answers, approvals or payment; design complexity, materials, artisan availability and Italian August closures can add time. Estimates are not guarantees and delay alone gives no refund or cancellation right.

## Shipping and fulfillment

- Tech packs arrive by email as Portable Document Format and editable Illustrator files. Original paper patterns ship worldwide by tracked express courier, with shipping included.
- Sample shipping and inbound materials cost extra. Import duties and destination taxes are your responsibility; request separate freight terms for garment production.

## Where they produce

- Development and garment production are in Italy, with the atelier based in Rome. The contracting operator is Giardina Atelier LLC, registered in Texas.

## How to order and pay

- Submit a final written design brief after payment, using sketches or front-and-back references and fabric direction. Pattern-only orders can use an approved existing tech pack.
- Technical services and sampling are paid upfront. Production is usually 50/50, or 70/30 for selected projects, with the balance due before shipping.

## Returns and misprints

- Design changes are allowed within 24 hours of the final brief. One tech-pack correction round must be requested within 72 hours of delivery; the paper pattern is final.
- Custom services and product sales are final, without refunds, returns or cancellations. Technical work is not refunded if later manufacturing is declined; an unresponsive project may pause or close after 30 days.
- Paid deliverables belong to your brand and can be taken to another maker. Sampling updates are included only after acceptance into paid Giardina sampling; otherwise your chosen sample maker handles updates.
- A tech pack or pattern purchase does not reserve sampling or production. Those stages require separate written acceptance and payment; technical work remains nonrefundable if declined.
- The initial pattern covers one base size. Grading follows sample approval and costs extra; samples, production and later outside-maker updates are also separate.
- Supplier fabric or construction errors can receive a free sample remake. Aesthetic refinements requested by the buyer need another paid round. Agree the issue, approval and remedy before further work.
