We support fashion and accessories brands as an external style office or as a partner alongside your team. We specialise in trend research, design consultancy, product development, and production.
RES MODE is a specialist in the development of fashion bags and accessories — scarves, wallets, belts, charms — transforming creative insights into bespoke collections with expertise and precision.
WHO'S IT FOR
Fashion brands looking to introduce bags and accessories into their catalogue without an in-house style office. Also ideal for brands that already have a design team but need specific technical support in product development.
RES MODE acts as a creative and strategic partner, managing the entire process from trend research to product development — coordinating seamlessly with your existing supply chain
TREND RESEARCH
Global insights for your collections
Trend research is the starting point of every project. The RES MODE team analyses each season’s key creative directions in the international fashion market, with a specific focus on bags and accessories.
Our research includes:
-
Analysis of international runways and the main seasonal trends
-
Monitoring of evolving materials, manufacturing techniques, and hardware
-
Observation of trending styles and new proposals across the global market
-
Direct partnerships in the Far East for scouting innovative materials, components, and production solutions
For each client, trend research becomes a tailored activity: we analyse your positioning, target audience, and competitors to identify the style directions most aligned with your brand DNA, turning generic trends into actionable insights.
DESIGN CONSULTING
A clear creative direction for your bags and accessories line
RES MODE's design consultancy begins with listening. Before sketching anything, we get to know your brand: its identity, its heritage, its market. Only then can we develop a creative proposal that is truly yours.
The design consultancy process includes:
-
Analysis of brand identity and positioning
-
Target audience study and competitive research
-
Definition of the collection's creative direction
-
Development of design proposals for styles, silhouettes, and variants
-
Support for the selection of materials, colours, and components
-
Finalisation of the collection with stylistic and commercial coherence
The result is a distinctive bags and accessories line: visually recognisable and fully consistent with your brand DNA.
PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
From concept to prototype: your collection takes shape
Once the creative direction is set, our team manages the entire product development process. We translate ideas into tangible products, working directly with your (or our) supplier to ensure continuity and consistency between design and production.
Product development services include:
-
Creation of detailed technical sheets (style, measurements, materials, construction)
-
Coordination with production partners for prototype development
-
Management of sample revision with your team
-
Product optimisation to ensure quality, functionality, and design consistency
-
Full sample range launch for the sales campaign
We act as the single point of contact between creative vision and production reality: ensuring quality, functionality, and fidelity to the original concept at every stage of development.
PRODUCTION
We handle supplier relations, you focus on your brand
If you already have an established supply chain, we work alongside your supplier as an extension of your team. We ensure the production process respects the technical specifications and quality standards defined during development.
Our production support includes:
-
Pre-production coordination with the supplier for product validation through approvals and feedback
-
Monitoring during the initial production phase to support raw material procurement
-
On-call support during production for any technical issues
-
Post-production support for quality control and product optimisation for future seasons
Alternatively, we can provide access to our own network of suppliers, guaranteeing the same level of coordination, oversight, and support at every stage.
