Fabric Selection and Preparation
At AnkaApparel, with our 27 years of production experience and the strength of our modern facilities in Egypt, we build the foundation of the highest-quality products through accurate fabric selection and meticulous preparation processes. Every collection we offer to fashion brands takes shape following this detailed and careful workflow.
Fabric selection—the first stage of production—is crucial for both the durability of the product and the end-user experience. For this reason, we thoroughly analyze various types of textiles such as denim, cotton, Tencel, elastane blends, and functional fabrics according to criteria like quality, weaving structure, weight, elasticity, color fastness, and sustainability.
Before entering production, selected fabrics undergo inspection, testing, and pre-preparation stages. Technical tests such as color fastness, shrinkage rate, durability, post-wash performance, and texture stability are carried out in accordance with international standards. This preparation process is essential for achieving the look and quality expected by both our design team and our partner brands.
In our integrated facilities in Egypt, fabrics are processed through pre-production stages and brought to their ideal form for cutting and sewing. By leveraging technology, we create a more precise, faster, and more sustainable preparation system, ensuring the production of collections progresses in a controlled, efficient, and high-quality manner.
Fabric selection and preparation are not only the beginning of the production process but also one of the most important components of AnkaApparel's quality assurance offered to brands.
