From digital 2D AutoCAD vector grading to tactile prototype fitting with Italian Carvico Vita and REPREVE® fabrics, Swime Swimwear Co., Ltd. eliminates manufacturing discrepancies before mass production.
For emerging designers and tier-one swimwear enterprises alike, partnering with a dedicated swimwear sampling studio is the decisive barrier against fit recalls, fabric puckering, and inventory wastage.
Founded in 1993, Swime Swimwear Co., Ltd. operates in Kerobokan, Bali, as an uncompromising product development center. Rather than standard apparel lines that treat swimwear as an afterthought, our studio concentrates strictly on 4-way stretch elastomeric materials, anatomical ergonomics, and salt/chlorine resistant bonding. Leading brands such as Bydee and Leni Swims engineered their inaugural collections directly across our sampling tables before scaling into international stockists.
Swimwear fit cannot be drafted like conventional streetwear. Water absorption, elastane recovery coefficients, and hydro-friction alter how a garment grips the human body.
Inside our sampling studio, every silhouette begins in digital 2D AutoCAD. By calculating directional warp/weft elongation percentages for specific textiles—such as Carvico Vita (78% Recycled Polyamide, 22% Elastane) versus ribbed Sumatra textures—our 6 specialized pattern makers build anatomical grading rules. Whether drafting an underwire bandeau with cantilevered internal boning or an ultra-clean seamless reversible one-piece, we consistently match handover specifications on the initial sample iteration.
Our Kerobokan facility employs 65 veteran technical artisans, each holding a minimum of 10 years of focused swimwear manufacturing tenure.
Prototypes fail when sampling fabric does not match final production stock. We hold Bali's largest factory-owned repository of authentic imported Italian swimwear fabrics.
By carrying over 100 in-stock colorways of certified Carvico Vita, Sumatra, and Pantelleria, supplemented by denier-matched Eco Lustra from the USA and 100+ shades through our partner Paramatex, designers bypass customary 6-week mill lead times. We cut strike-offs and fit prototypes within 24 to 48 hours of design approval.
Our Indonesian bonded customs certification slashes approximately 35% off textile landed duties. This reduction is directly passed onto our clients' sample and production costing sheets.
Physical USD 75 international fabric swatch kits delivered globally via DHL Express, fully deductible against your inaugural bulk production order.
Engineered from ECONYL® regenerated nylon. Unmatched recovery modulus, resistance to sunscreen oil degradation, and OEKO-TEX Standard 100 non-toxic dye profiles.
A fine-gauge corrugated weave providing tactile dimension, shaping compression, and superior drape across asymmetric resort pieces.
Premium rib-structured knit that maintains structural recovery under wet stress, perfect for sporty silhouettes and sculptured bra tops.
Engineered with recycled micro-fibers providing a soft pearlescent luster, ideal for glamorous evening swim and holiday resort capsules.
Whether launching an innovative technical cut, repurposing validated silhouettes, or curating an omnichannel capsule, our studio aligns pattern engineering with your specific production roadmap.
Bring your hand sketches, mood boards, or full Illustrator CADs. We draft proprietary AutoCAD files and test stitching tolerances from scratch.
Select from over 80 pre-graded, market-validated silhouettes. Apply custom colors, digital artwork, and hardware with zero pattern drafting delays.
Blend signature proprietary silhouettes with proven studio ready-shapes to optimize development budgets while maintaining distinct brand individuality.
AI-assisted supply planning and shifting environmental mandates are permanently transforming how enterprise procurement managers conduct sampling operations.
Modern sampling studios integrate 3D avatar drape stress-testing before fabric is even cut. While digital twins cut 30% of preliminary iterations, physical fit confirmations remain mandatory for tactile elasticity assessment.
Procurement teams are shifting away from monolithic annual production runs toward rolling 300–500 unit capsule drops. This mitigates unsold deadstock risk and capitalizes directly on real-time social virality.
Global regulatory bodies (EU Digital Product Passport) require end-to-end certification. Future sampling protocols demand verified GRS documentation for ocean waste and post-consumer regenerated threads at the sample stage.
Environmental standards are phasing out wet-process screen printing. Digital pigment injection machines offer high color saturation with zero chemical wash-off effluents, representing 85% of future sample pipelines.
Unlike massive factories that bury small sample batches behind massive 10,000-unit runs, our facility operates a self-contained sample room dedicated strictly to prototypes.
Bulk production orders are configured per collection rather than per individual silhouette. For instance, build an order of 400 total units incorporating 4 bikini styles across 3 sizes and 3 colors, avoiding excessive inventory lockup.
Complete digital pattern creation, single piece cut-and-sew, and hardware calibration using stock fabric.
Rapid assembly utilizing our library of tested blocks, customized with your branding assets.
We do not restrict prototype development behind mandatory production commitments. Test your physical market fit, capture promotional content, and evaluate customer feedback prior to placing your bulk deposit.

Pattern printing errors are among the most expensive mistakes in fashion. Our studio features an internal digital test facility to confirm strike-off scale and saturation before cutting.
Swime Swimwear Co., Ltd. is the only manufacturer in Bali equipped with Italian MS industrial digital textile printers capable of direct-infusion printing onto genuine REPREVE® recycled nylon (USA). Unlike paper transfer methods that stiffen elastane, direct nylon printing keeps garments supple, yielding 50+ UPF protection and extreme resistance to sea salt abrasion. For urgent fashion drops, our sublimation lines print test meters on polyester within 48 to 72 hours.
A true swimwear sample must represent the exact finished garment your end customer receives, including branding and hardware.
Our sampling studio applies your high-definition silicone heat-transfer care labels, tests custom zinc-alloy hardware (electrolytically sealed against salt tarnishing and heat under the sun), and produces real sample hangtags with barcodes. Each finished prototype is delivered in an FSC-certified biodegradable zip-lock package, allowing you to present shelf-ready garments directly to buyers, influencers, or investor boards.
Our Balinese artisans provide expert hand-beaded detailing, sequin embroidery, and hand-woven crochet edging—expertly stitched into elastomeric seams so they never detach under tension.
Our studio proves luxury performance can coexist with absolute environmental stewardship. Every meter of nylon cut in our sample room is certified post-consumer waste transformed via ECONYL® or REPREVE® systems.
A dedicated swimwear sampling studio functions as an advanced R&D engineering lab. Rather than running high-speed production lines, our specialists focus on CAD vector drafting, elastomeric recovery tests, tension balancing, hardware compatibility trials, and physical wear-test assessments. This guarantees your pattern holds its fit and shape under wet and dry conditions before cutting thousands of bulk units.
Traditional apparel pattern scaling uses basic mechanical percentage enlargements. With 4-way stretch fabrics like Carvico Vita (containing 22% Lycra), such basic scaling causes sagging leg lines or binding necklines. In 2D AutoCAD, we apply custom vector curves calibrated to the fabric's stretch recovery, ensuring proportional cup depths, apex heights, and torso lengths from XS through 3XL.
Custom designs using in-stock factory fabrics require 1 to 3 weeks for complete prototype construction. Custom samples cost double the estimated wholesale unit price plus a USD 30 development fee per style. This USD 30 fee is 100% credited against your final bulk production invoice once approved.
Direct digital printing onto recycled nylon with our Italian MS industrial machinery embeds acid dyes directly into the fibers, maintaining a silky, luxurious hand feel. Sublimation applies heat to transfer disperse dyes onto polyester; it produces vivid results quickly (strike-offs in 2–3 days), while direct-printed nylon is the gold standard for luxury resort lines.
At Swime Swimwear Co., Ltd., order volumes are structured per collection rather than per individual SKU. Custom patterns start at 400 pieces across the entire collection (minimum 40 pieces per style, distributed across at least 4 pieces per color and size), allowing flexible colorway and sizing distribution.
We stand by our craftsmanship. If a prototype deviates noticeably from your approved technical handover or measurements, our studio amends the digital AutoCAD vectors and constructs a replacement sample free of charge. Your dedicated project coordinator will personally review every revision with you.
Yes. Our sampling studio casts custom branded hardware molds for zinc-alloy cord ends, sliders, and decorative charms, and produces branded compostable hygienic protection liners. Sampling these custom details alongside your core fabrics ensures everything coordinates before production starts.
We operate as a private label B2B contract facility only—we never retail directly, and we never share client patterns. We routinely execute binding Bilateral Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) to guarantee your CAD files and designs remain your exclusive property.
The precision of Swime Swimwear Co., Ltd.'s sampling studio took our brand from initial sketches to high-end boutiques in Sydney in under eight months. The AutoCAD grading fits our curve models across all sizes.
Having our sample yardage cut directly from in-stock Italian Carvico Vita saved us over four weeks of fabric shipping delays. Their sample sewists are among the most skilled in the swimwear industry.
Working with their product coordinators made developing our underwire prototypes seamless. The stitch tolerances and chlorine-resistant hardware exceeded our luxury retail standards.
Their direct digital print testing on recycled REPREVE nylon captured the deep tonal subtleties of our artwork with zero hand-feel stiffness. A dependable manufacturing partner.
