Full Custom Swimwear Manufacturing — Powering the Growth of Northern Coast Swim (Canada)

Client Background

Northern Coast Swim is a growing swimwear brand based in Vancouver, Canada, founded by Sophie Miller. From the beginning, Sophie wanted her brand to stand out through custom silhouettes, sustainable materials, and unique detailing—not off-the-shelf designs.

However, as a small team with limited technical knowledge, Northern Coast Swim needed a manufacturing partner capable of providing true OEM/ODM services, not just basic production.

Key Challenges

Before working with us, the brand faced several obstacles:

No technical patterns or production-ready tech packs

Need for fully customized designs, not stock styles

Limited budget requiring low MOQ and flexible scaling

Uncertainty about which fabrics and constructions would perform best

Concerns about maintaining quality consistency across growing order volumes

Our OEM / ODM Custom Solution

We provided a one-stop custom swimwear manufacturing service, covering every stage from concept to bulk production:

Design & Development

Translated mood boards and references into original swimwear designs

Developed custom patterns based on the brand’s target fit and sizing

Multiple sample revisions with detailed fit feedback

Material & Craft Customization

Recommended recycled and OEKO-TEX certified fabrics based on stretch, recovery, and durability

Customized digital prints exclusive to the brand

Applied ruching, handcrafted detailing, and functional elastic engineering

Production & Quality Control

3-day rapid sampling for fast design validation

Low MOQ starting at 50–100 pcs per style

Flexible scaling as sales increased

100% full inspection on every order

We acted not just as a factory, but as a technical partner—helping the client avoid common production mistakes and improve product performance.

Results & Customization Impact
