Umsiko

Is a fashion studio specializing in pattern making, samples and production for the clothing industry in New Zealand.

Services

Our team has accumulated decades of experience working in the fashion business in New Zealand.

We work with some of New Zealand’s best known and loved labels and are also proud to help and guide up and coming new designers.

Samples

Our experienced sample machinists will stitch together your initial sample(s) in order to make sure that the pattern, fit and fabric are correct prior to going into production.

Pattern Making

A pattern is a blue-print of your design which when sewn together becomes a three-dimensional garment.

We can create your pattern from a sketch, a magazine/web image or from an existing garment. Do not hesitate to ask about your idea, even if it is not clothing. We have patterned multiple items – as long as it is fabric, I am sure we will get our head around your idea.

Production

We offer a full CMT (Cut, Make and Trim) service including block fusing and garment pressing. There is no minimum order quantity (MOQ), however there is a surcharge depending on the amount of units manufactured – the more you make, the cheaper it becomes.

In the News

Most of Jimmy D’s sampling and production is done there now. “I’ve been fortunate to meet Iona, from Umsiko in Wellington, who does production for a number of designers — most of her machinists are based here,” James explains. “She’s a wealth of knowledge and I feel so lucky to have her here.”
