Develop a bag or leather accessory through physical samples. Georgie Tym helps turn an idea, drawing or existing design into something you can handle, assess and refine.

Build, review and refine.
Sampling gives you a practical way to assess a design before deciding what to make next.
01
First prototypes
Explore a design in physical form, considering its proportions, construction and intended use. The starting point can be an idea, reference or drawing.
02
Development samples
Review an existing design or sample, work through construction problems and make agreed refinements to the next version.
03
Production & repeatability
For suitable projects, discuss small batches or a route towards larger production. Quantity, design, materials, capacity and timing are agreed for each brief.
How it works
01
Share the brief
Send drawings, dimensions, references or photographs of an existing sample.
02
Scope the making
Agree the sample purpose, materials, development work, quotation and timing.
03
Make & review
Assess the physical sample and discuss the changes it needs.
04
Plan what follows
Agree further refinement, a batch or the next production step as appropriate.
A development sample is a stage in the process. It helps you review the product; further versions or production are agreed separately. For finished goods featuring your company branding, visit corporate gifts & white label.
A few practical questions
Do I need finished technical drawings?
No. Send the information you have. Georgie will explain what needs clarifying and whether consultancy or design development should come before making.
Can you work from an existing sample?
Yes. Share photographs and explain what needs changing or resolving so the work can be scoped.
Can you manufacture the finished design?
Production is available for suitable projects, including agreed small batches and larger runs. The route, quantity, cost and lead time are confirmed after reviewing the product and requirements.
Tell us what you want to develop.
Include the product idea, current design or sample, intended dimensions and materials, what the sample needs to achieve, likely quantity and timing. Email drawings or photographs with your brief.
