The operating system behind every order we take

01 COST ENGINEERING

Design Intelligence

We suggest smarter fabrics and construction changes to boost your margins while protecting design intent.

02 PROACTIVE

Risk Reduction

We anticipate issues before they become major setbacks, whether it’s a vendor quote that won’t hold in production, a red dye known to bleed, or a construction detail that won’t scale.

03 CERTIFIED

Ethical Manufacturing

Every factory in our network is vetted for social compliance, fair practices, and audit readiness.

04 NO SURPRISES

Radical Transparency

Transparent costings, realistic timelines, and early visibility into production risks. If something goes wrong, you hear it from us first.

Built to

Prevent Setbacks .

01 Product Development

You send the design intent, references, or target brief. We turn it into a production-ready tech pack with specs, BOM, construction details, and fit blocks.

Fabric, trims, and compliance are locked in early so it actually holds up in sampling and at scale. No guesswork later.

– WE SHAPE IT

02 Costing Strategy

We reverse-engineer styles to strengthen margins. We suggest smarter fabrics, construction adjustments, and detail refinements.

– WE COST IT

03 Factory Mapping

We match your programme with factories based on capability, capacity, and ways of working.

– WE MATCH IT

04 Sampling and Quality

We are your watchdogs on the ground. We pre-empt manufacturing risks that lead to major production setbacks, whether it’s a red dye known to bleed, or a construction detail that won’t hold at scale.

– WE CHECK IT

05 Production Oversight

Once production starts, we watch it closely – every milestone to ensure quality and production at scale.

– WE WATCH IT

06 Logistics and Dispatch

Lead times typically range from 45–120 days. FOB, CNF, and DDP shipments supported, with advance, LC, and consolidation handling aligned to your requirements.

Social Impact &

Responsible Production.

We believe responsible production goes beyond audits and certifications. It includes the people behind the work, the environments they work in, and the long-term systems that support them.

Built on dignity and stability

Women in Manufacturing

In partnership with the Government of Maharashtra, we support training programs that help women move from informal work into structured apparel manufacturing. The focus is on building skill over time, and creating work that holds.

Responsible Manufacturing Standards

Every factory we work with is expected to meet basic standards on safe conditions, fair practices, and worker support, including PF coverage and facilities that help working mothers stay in the workforce.

Long-Term Workforce Stability

We work with manufacturing partners that prioritise workforce retention, worker support systems, and stable long-term operations over short-term production volume.

FOUNDER & MANAGING PARTNER

Sanjita Prasad

FIT, NEW YORK

MUMBAI, INDIA

Started Amaltas in 1991 with two other women and a very clear idea of how sourcing should work. Trained at FIT New York. Spent 34 years building a company where design intelligence and ethical manufacturing aren't separate conversations. They're the same one. Still runs the show.

001 — Launch — SS24

From zero to 12,000 units in 47 days.

Context: A New York label required a full womenswear production run ahead of Fashion Week within a fixed deadline.

Constraint: Compressed timeline with no room for sequential sampling and production delays.

Intervention: Factory selection was based on immediate capacity and category alignment. Sampling and approvals were run in parallel, with pre-approved materials to remove sourcing delays. Production was split across lines to reduce bottlenecks while maintaining inline quality control.

Outcome: Production completed within timeline without deviation in quality standards.

WOMENSWEAR

KOREA

FAST TRACK

47 days.

KEY RESULT

002 — Scale — AW23

The same quality, just more of it.

Context: A menswear brand needed to scale production volume significantly without altering product quality.

Constraint: Increased output risked inconsistency across batches and QC deviation.

Intervention: Production was redistributed across factories with matched capabilities. Construction processes were standardised, and line balancing was implemented to maintain uniform output. QC protocols were retained at original thresholds and monitored inline.

Outcome: Volume increased without impacting consistency or rejection rates.

MENSWEAR

PORTUGAL

SCALE

10x Volume.

KEY RESULT

003 — Launch — SS25

First kidswear capsule. Executed without rework.

Context: A DTC brand entered kidswear and required end-to-end execution from development to bulk production.

Constraint: New category with strict compliance requirements and no prior production benchmarks.

Intervention: Designs were translated into production-ready specifications with compliance built in early. Sampling cycles were minimised through fit block alignment, and factory selection was based on prior experience in regulated categories

Outcome: Programme delivered without QC failures or rework cycles.

KIDSWEAR

INDIA

NEW CATEGORY

100% QC pass.

KEY RESULT

004 — Cost Engineering Programme

Same design. Improved cost structure.

Context: A knitwear programme was exceeding target cost, affecting margin viability.

Constraint: Retail pricing was fixed, limiting flexibility on final cost.

Intervention: The product was reverse-engineered - fabric GSM reduced while maintaining hand feel, pattern adjusted to optimise yield, and marker efficiency improved. Trim components were rationalised and sourced directly to reduce markup.

Outcome: Cost reduced without altering visual or functional attributes.

KNITS

COST ENGINEERING

23% cost reduction.

KEY RESULT

005 - Womenswear Collection Adjustment

Brought back within target without redesign.

Context: A woven womenswear collection exceeded open-to-buy constraints at sampling stage.

Constraint: Design intent needed to be preserved while reducing cost.

Intervention: Fabric composition was adjusted to a blended alternative with similar drape. Construction complexity was reduced by simplifying detailing, and production was consolidated into a single factory to eliminate coordination overhead.

Outcome: Collection aligned with cost targets and moved forward to production.

WOMENSWEAR

UK

VALUE ENGINEERING

19% cost reduction.

KEY RESULT

006 — Denim Programme Optimisation

Reduced cost through system alignment.

Context: A denim programme was fragmented across multiple factories, leading to cost variation and inconsistent output.

Constraint: Decentralised production increased overhead and reduced efficiency.

Intervention: Production was consolidated into fewer specialised units. Fabric sourcing was centralised, wash processes standardised, and marker planning optimised to reduce material usage.
