Swimwear, lingerie and activewear consulting from concept to market.
Swimwear, intimate apparel and activewear are among the most technical products in apparel: fit, support, shaping and fabric performance decide whether a style sells. Rovetex helps brands, retailers and manufacturers develop, source, produce and sell these products — led by a senior advisor who ran one of the world’s best-known swimwear brands.
Small tolerances, demanding customers.
A few millimetres of fit, the wrong fabric weight or an unstable seam can turn a promising collection into returns. Success needs product engineering, the right suppliers and a commercial strategy that connects the product to the customer — online and in store.
Fit & support
Construction, shaping, sizing and support solved technically, not by trial and error.
Fabric & yarn
Fabric and yarn development matched to performance, comfort and cost.
Sourcing & production
The right factories and suppliers, and production that delivers consistent quality.
Route to market
E-commerce, digital merchandising and direct-to-consumer growth alongside wholesale and retail.
