KNOW HOW
Detail begins long before the finished product
Materials, cutting, making, embroidery, lace and finishing depend on technical knowledge, experience and attention at every stage.
DISCUSS A REQUIREMENT
APPLIED KNOWLEDGE
Experience, people and technology within one process
SamValentim’s know how results from knowledge passed on across generations, making experience, careful material selection, expertise in embroidery and lace, and rigorous attention to finishing.
Technology expands these capabilities, but the final quality of each piece is guided by the judgement, experience and responsibility of the people behind it.
This relationship between knowledge and execution makes it possible to consider each product as a whole, from material selection through to the final finishing.
MAKING
Precision can be recognised in both the whole and the detail
Making is one of SamValentim’s central capabilities. The final quality depends on decisions and checks that are not always immediately visible.
Cutting and measurements
Precision in proportions and measurements influences the construction and presentation of the piece.
Seams and hems
Execution should remain consistent and appropriate to the fabric and intended use.
Symmetry and finishing
Alignment, finishing and integration of details contribute to the overall result.
Presentation
The finished piece is considered as a whole, including the relationship between its different elements.
IN HOUSE EMBROIDERY
From design to integration into the finished piece
Embroidery is developed in house and the process extends beyond machine execution. Each design must be prepared, adapted to the fabric and product, and integrated into the final making.
01
Design
Development of the motif to be applied.
02
Technical preparation
The preparation required for appropriate execution.
03
Adaptation
Adjustment of the design to the characteristics of the fabric, product and intended composition.
04
Execution
Production of the embroidery using the appropriate equipment.
05
Integration
Incorporation of the embroidery into the construction and finishing of the final piece.
SCHIFFLI TECHNOLOGY
Lace developed through knowledge and technology
Schiffli technology enables SamValentim to develop lace and allover designs. The value of this capability lies not only in the equipment, but also in the knowledge required to design, prepare, produce and integrate the result into the finished piece.
01
Design
Define the motif and intended repeat.
02
Preparation
Adapt the development to the technical requirements of the process.
03
Production
Produce the lace or allover through Schiffli technology.
04
Integration
Relate the result to the fabric, making and final composition of the piece.
An allover is an embroidered or lace pattern repeated continuously across the usable width of the support.
MAKING AND DETAIL
Different finishes, different ways to define a piece
Finishing can change the presence, structure and relationship between the elements of a piece. The choice depends on the product, material and intended result.
- Hems
- Decorative stitching and lines
- Applied bands
- Single and multiple piping
- Embroidery
- Lace
- Ruffles
- Contrasting fabric applications
The availability and suitability of each finish depends on the product and the relevant assessment.
FROM DEVELOPMENT TO VALIDATION
A sample can turn an idea into a solution worth assessing
Sample development is particularly relevant for customised projects and professional clients. It makes it possible to bring materials, measurements, embroidery, finishing and construction together before a final decision.
01
Brief
Understand the product, use and intended result.
02
Selection
Identify suitable materials and possibilities.
03
Development
Build the solution to be assessed.
04
Review
Evaluate the result and define any changes before production.
The specific process, sample costs where applicable and development conditions are defined according to the request.
RESPONSIBLE FLEXIBILITY
Customisation means assessment, not unlimited promises
SamValentim can assess adaptations designed to align a product or composition with the requirements of a client or project.
- Measurements
- Materials
- Colours
- Embroidery
- Lace
- Applied bands
- Piping
- Product combinations
- Sample development
Each request depends on technical viability, quantity, timing, capacity, available materials and commercial conditions.
KNOWLEDGE THAT REMAINS
Technology expands possibilities. Experience guides the result.
Part of SamValentim’s technical knowledge has been built through accumulated experience, repetition, observation and the resolution of real production challenges.
Machinery enables new solutions and greater precision, but it does not replace the knowledge required to prepare, follow and assess each piece.
Preserving this knowledge means continuing to practise it, pass it on and organise it so that it can evolve with the company.
