FROM THE BEGINNING
the production process
The headquarters of our dye-works, wash-house and Opro GmbH Management in Sumperk (in the Czech Republic). About 60 employees work in different departments.
FABRIC INSPECTION
Before production begins, all fabrics and materials needed for production are examined. In one season up to 200.000 meters (656.000 feet) of fabric are manually scrutinized.
ATELIER
The designs and garment descriptions developed in Munich are passed on together with production specifications to the atelier and the sewing workshop.
PREPARATORY WORK & CUTTING
Every design is individually hand-cut by our pattern cutters according to its quality and tailored in our sewing depart-ment by qualified seamstresses.
NOTIONS
Each model’s notions, e.g. buttons, zippers, inlay strips, etc. are specified in close coordination with Design. Each piece is assigned the matching notion in accordance with its workmanship and colour.
IRONING
Every garment is ironed by hand after being sewn.
WASHING & DYEING
We wash and dye small quantities of 20 – 150 pieces for each shop in large machines. Every retailer receives his/her order from one dye bath. The washing process and dye finish influence the individual feel of each garment piece.
QUALITY CONTROL & SHIPPING
Manual examination in the final inspection. After being sewn, all garments undergo a final quality control before being packaged in hanging cartons and shipped to over 20 countries worldwide.
