Process
01
DESIGN & DEVELOPMENT
Our design team works closely with our clients to go grom ideation, research, sketches, and material selection. Our process includes detailed tech packs, measurement charts, and, when beneficial, 3D visualization through CLO3D to streamline development and minimize waste.
02
PATTERN
Our expert pattern maker, Nijole, after 20 years of experience, still thrives on new challenges. Working closely with our design team, she translates creative concepts or technical files into precise patterns—whether it’s a simple jersey garment or an intricately tailored piece.
03
SAMPLING
We create prototypes to test fit, silhouette, and fabric behavior, refining each iteration until we achieve the ideal balance of aesthetics and functionality. This stage allows us to make adjustments before moving into full-scale production.
04
PRODUCTION
We prioritize quality over quantity, producing each garment with care, precision, and sustainability in mind. By managing production in-house, we maintain complete control over the process—guaranteeing fair treatment of workers, responsible manufacturing, and garments made to last.
Craftswomanship
We merge traditional craftsmanship with modern technology, creating one-of-a-kind garments where hand-stitching and intricate needlework seamlessly complement precision machine work.
As ethical makers, we believe in fair play and fair pay, ensuring sustainability through a people-first approach. With 27 out of 28 team members being women, we embrace the power of women supporting women, growing together, and setting new industry standards.
Atelier Kameleon is more than a workplace—it’s an ethical atelier where quality extends beyond our garments. From fair wages and safe working conditions to growth opportunities and a respectful, inclusive environment, our flat structure ensures that every team member is valued, heard, and empowered.
We are committed to a sustainable future for the textile industry—because true sustainability starts with the people behind the product.
