At The Bodysuit of Barcelona, every bodysuit is the result of a meticulous production process, brought to life by skilled artisans from family-owned ateliers who are passionate about their craft. Today, we’re excited to take you behind the scenes to see how our bodysuits are made, from thread to finish.
Step 1: Designing with Purpose
Our journey begins with thoughtful design, selecting yarns and colors. Our team works closely with Italian yarn manufacturers from Florence to select the best-in-class certified threads. Once the yarn arrives in Barcelona, we work closely with pattern makers like Antonio, who ensures that each design is not only stylish but also perfectly fitted for all body types. Using advanced software, he creates patterns that maximize fabric efficiency, reducing waste while maintaining the elegance and comfort that define our brand. Here stats a process of many knitting trials and inspections to adjust the design to the yarn. We test the yarn in with the flat bed machines and conduct many rib samples.
Step 2: Knitting the Fabric
Once the design is finalized, it’s time to bring it to life. We use fully-fashioned knitting techniques, which means that each piece of fabric is created to the exact shape and size needed, minimizing material waste. This process takes place on state-of-the-art knitting machines operated by experts like Dani, who meticulously monitor the knitting to ensure a flawless finish.
Step 3: Linking and Stitching
After the fabric is knitted, it moves to the linking and stitching phase. This is where individual pieces are carefully linked together by hand, a process that requires precision and skill. Nati, with her years of experience, ensures that every seam is smooth and strong, guaranteeing the longevity of each bodysuit. Her attention to detail is what makes our garments stand out.
Step 4: Washing and Finishing
Once the bodysuit is assembled, it undergoes a washing process to soften the fabric and set the shape. This step is crucial for ensuring that the bodysuit feels as good as it looks. After washing, the bodysuit is carefully inspected and finished by hand. Final touches, such as adding labels and tags, are completed with care to ensure that every piece meets our high standards.
Step 5: Quality Control
Before any bodysuit reaches your hands, it goes through a rigorous quality control process. Our team checks each garment for any imperfections, ensuring that only the best pieces make it to our store. This commitment to quality is part of what makes The Bodysuit of Barcelona unique.
