TRUST THE PROCESS
OUR MOTTO IS MORE THAN A SLOGAN: IT DEFINES OUR STRUCTURED AND TRANSPARENT PRODUCTION METHOD. 
THE VALUE OF EACH GARMENT BEGINS WITH DIGITAL DESIGN, CERTIFIED MATERIALS, AND ETHICAL MANUFACTURING. 
STEP BY STEP, DISCOVER HOW WE TRANSFORM CONCEPTS 
INTO HIGH-PERFORMANCE, MADE-IN-ITALY WORKWEAR.

  • MATERIALS

    IN THE LIFECYCLE OF A GARMENT, MATERIAL SELECTION CARRIES THE GREATEST ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL IMPACT. AT MDS, THIS PHASE IS THE FOUNDATION OF BOTH PRODUCT QUALITY AND ETHICAL RESPONSIBILITY. WE WORK WITH CERTIFIED, LOW-IMPACT FABRICS THAT MEET STRICT STANDARDS FOR SUSTAINABILITY AND PERFORMANCE

    WE ALSO USE DEADSTOCK,SURPLUS FABRICS FROM PAST PRODUCTIONS THAT WOULD OTHERWISE BECOME WASTE. BY TRANSFORMING THEM INTO NEW, DISTINCTIVE PIECES, WE REDUCE THE NEED FOR VIRGIN RESOURCES AND GIVE NEW VALUE TO EXISTING MATERIALS.

  • PRODUCTS

    EACH MDS GARMENT IS MADE TO MEET SPECIFIC FUNCTIONAL 
AND AESTHETIC NEEDS. CLIENTS CAN CHOOSE FROM OUR CATALOG PRODUCTS, SELECTING FROM IN-STOCK FABRICS AND ADDING 
LOGOS OR CUSTOM DETAILS.

    FOR FULLY CUSTOM PROJECTS, WE DESIGN GARMENTS FROM SCRATCH, CHOOSING FABRICS, COLORS, AND FEATURES BASED ON THE CLIENT’S GOALS. WHETHER ADAPTING AN EXISTING PIECE OR CREATING A NEW ONE, WE ENSURE EACH PRODUCT REFLECTS THE BRAND’S IDENTITY AND VALUES.

  • PRODUCTION

    WHETHER FROM CATALOG OR CUSTOM DESIGN, EVERY MDS GARMENT BEGINS WITH A DETAILED PROTOTYPING PHASE TO TEST FIT, PERFORMANCE, AND DURABILITY. WE ALSO USE 3D PROTOTYPING TO REDUCE PRE-CONSUMER WASTE AND TO PROVIDE CLIENTS WITH DIGITAL MODELS FOR COMMUNICATION AND PROJECT PREVIEWS.

    PRODUCTION TAKES PLACE ENTIRELY IN PUGLIA, SOUTHERN ITALY, A REGION WITH A DEEP-ROOTED TEXTILE TRADITION. GARMENTS ARE MADE IN OUR OWN WORKSHOP AND BY LOCAL PARTNERS JUST MINUTES AWAY. THIS CLOSE-KNIT SUPPLY CHAIN ALLOWS US TO MONITOR EVERY STEP AND ENSURE CERTIFIED, RESPONSIBLE PROCESSES BOTH SOCIALLY AND ENVIRONMENTALLY.

YOU, AS PART OF THE PROCESS
ONCE THE GARMENTS ARE DELIVERED, YOU BECOME AN ACTIVE PART OF THE PROCESS. YOUR ROLE IS TO CARE FOR THE PIECES AND EXTEND THEIR LIFE — A SHARED RESPONSIBILITY THAT AMPLIFIES THE VALUE OF EVERYTHING WE'VE CREATED TOGETHER.

WE ALSO SUPPORT YOU IN COMMUNICATING THIS VALUE. ALONGSIDE EACH DELIVERY, WE OFFER STORYTELLING TOOLS TAILORED TO YOUR BRAND, HELPING YOU HIGHLIGHT THE ETHICAL AND AESTHETIC IMPACT OF YOUR UNIFORM CHOICE. THROUGH DEDICATED CONTENT, YOUR AUDIENCE WILL UNDERSTAND NOT JUST WHAT YOUR TEAM WEARS, BUT WHY IT MATTERS.

EXIT WIP STRATEGY
CIRCULARITY IS A CORE VALUE OF SUSTAINABLE PRODUCT DESIGN, AND AT MDS WE ARE COMMITTED TO CLOSING THE LOOP AFTER A GARMENT’S FIRST LIFE IS COMPLETE. OUR EXIT STRATEGY IS A WORK IN PROGRESS, WITH SOME SERVICES ALREADY ACTIVE AND OTHERS STILL IN DEVELOPMENT.

THROUGH AFTER-SALE SERVICES LIKE REPAIR AND RE-CUSTOMIZATION, WE HELP EXTEND PRODUCT LONGEVITY. WHEN GARMENTS ARE NO LONGER USABLE, WE OFFER TAKE-BACK OPTIONS TO REINTEGRATE THEM INTO THE CYCLE — BY RECYCLING, BIO-RECYCLING, OR TRANSFORMING THEM INTO NEW RAW MATERIALS.
