A manufacturer for designer brands has one extra job: protect the design.
AUCO MODE works with independent and premium designer brands to develop and manufacture their collections in Vietnam. Founded by a fashion designer, we read a design the way the person who drew it does.
In translation
A tech pack written by someone who does not understand the design records the measurements and loses the intent. The garment arrives correct and wrong at the same time.
In substitution
A fabric swapped for availability or price without testing how it falls. The silhouette changes and nobody flags it until the sample lands.
In simplification
A construction quietly simplified to speed the line. The detail that made the piece disappears, and the explanation arrives after production.
In grading
A block that fits beautifully in the sample size, graded by rule of thumb, falling apart across the size set.
In finishing
The hand work costed as a sample-room flourish rather than as minutes per unit, then cut when the schedule tightens.
Our job is to know which details in your design are load-bearing and which can flex — and to defend the first group when production pressure arrives.
We start from intent
Before any pattern, we agree what in your reference is the design and what is incidental. That conversation prevents most later arguments.
We suggest, we do not impose
Where a construction will not hold, we propose an alternative that keeps the visual result. The decision stays yours.
We write it down
Every fitting round gets a comment sheet. Nothing important lives only in a message thread.
- Your designs
- Remain yours. We do not reuse or resell developed styles.
- Your patterns
- Yours, and written to be read by any competent factory.
- Your tech packs
- Handed over in full, not held as leverage.
- Your suppliers
- If you have nominated mills or trims, we work with them.
Send us the piece you are most protective of.
If we can make that one properly, the rest of the collection is straightforward.
