Two failed samples and zero accountability
Two sample rounds. Zero usable products.
I came to Seam Apparel with a detailed order summary including fabric composition, GSM range, print method, measurements, and reference images. Everything was documented and agreed upon before production started.
The first sample arrived with the wrong fabric entirely. They corrected it at no cost, fine. But first blaming me for the mistake. The second sample arrived with a heat-transferred logo when the spec clearly called for screen print / high-density print. Multiple order summaries were wrong, endless emails were sent and I felt like I was going in circles. When I called out the wrong logo, they claimed it was high-density print and that the sample was produced "in accordance with the agreed specifications." It was not.
When I asked for the actual GSM of the fabric, I got "we used a heavy GSM as requested" instead of a number. When I pushed harder, I was told hitting the GSM we already agreed on would require a price increase.
89 emails later, I requested a refund and walked away.
The core issue is not that mistakes happen. Mistakes happen everywhere. The issue is that when mistakes were pointed out, they were reframed as my preferences rather than their errors. That's a trust problem, and trust is the one thing you need when you're about to place a bulk order.
If you're a small brand like me looking for a manufacturing partner, don't waste your time.
