01Why work with us

Your desk in Vietnam.

We are not an intermediary between you and a factory. We are your side of the table, standing in the workshop.

On the ground

  • Local presence. Two of us live in Vietnam, on the factory’s time zone. A question asked in Lille in the morning is asked in Bình Dương that afternoon.
  • Supplier knowledge. A register of every factory we have visited, kept deliberately wide and quoted deliberately short.
  • Cultural understanding. How a Vietnamese workshop says no without saying it, and what a yes is worth before the deposit.
  • French and Vietnamese. Your specification, your price and your contract in both languages. Nothing important is agreed through an interpreter.

What we carry for you

  • Supplier verification. On site before any introduction: capacity in the peak month, machinery, workforce, safety and the order book.
  • Negotiation. Priced in Vietnamese against a cost breakdown rather than a quotation, with our fee beside the factory price, not inside it.
  • Quality control. Our own people in the factory against the sample you approved, before the container is sealed.
  • Production monitoring. Weekly against the plan, with slippage reported when it appears rather than when it has become a delay.

What it saves you

  • Time. No supplier hunt, no exploratory trip, no week spent waiting for an answer that arrives in the wrong language.
  • Risk. The factory is seen, the origin file is built and the goods are inspected before they sail. A defect found in Bình Dương costs a repair; the same defect found in Lille costs the season.

The work does not disappear. It stops being yours.

One partner in Vietnam, instead of a supplier list run from France.

02Services

Ten services, and we do all ten ourselves.

An agent introduces a factory and leaves. We carry the programme to the arrival port.

Finding the factory.

Supplier sourcing

We start from your range, your volume and your season, and work out which Vietnamese cluster can actually carry them. If the answer is none of them, you hear that first, before anyone has spent a month on it.

Factory identification

Most collections shown to a foreign buyer belong to a trading house, and the building that cuts the wood sits one or two subcontractors below it. We name the building, and we have stood in it with the machines running.

Supplier verification

On site before any introduction: capacity in the peak month, machinery, workforce, safety, certifications and the order book. We answer to you for every name we put in front of you, which is why we never do it from photographs.

Agreeing what gets made.

Price negotiation

Negotiated in Vietnamese, against a cost breakdown rather than a quotation. You see the factory price, and our fee sits beside it on the same page, where you can read both.

Product development

From a drawing, a photograph or a piece already on a shelf to something a Vietnamese workshop can build to a French tolerance. Materials, finishes, packing and cost settled before the first prototype is cut.

Sample management

Prototype, counter-sample and written tolerances, signed off in both languages. The approved sample stays with us, and it is the reference for every inspection that follows.

Holding the production.

Quality control

Our own people in the factory, against the sample you approved: moisture measured, joinery checked, packing drop-tested, count verified. A defect found in Bình Dương costs a repair. The same defect found in Lille costs the season.

Production follow-up

Against the plan, week by week: materials in, line loading, finishing, packing. Slippage is reported when it appears, not when it has already become a delay you cannot absorb.

Factory communication

Every instruction, change and answer carried in both languages, in writing, from one desk. Nothing important is agreed through an interpreter, and nothing is lost between your brief and the bench.

To the arrival port.

Export and logistics coordination

The origin file, the export documents, the booking, the consolidation and the incoterm you actually want rather than the one the factory is used to quoting. We hold the file to the arrival port, not to the factory gate.

Ten services, one desk, one contract.

03How it works

Five steps, and you can stop after any of them.

Nothing is invoiced to you until a container has shipped, so the first four steps cost you a specification and the time it takes to read what comes back.

01 — Understand your requirements

Range, volume, target price, season, certification, and the tolerance you will not move on. We say plainly whether we already hold factories for it, and what is missing if we do not.

02 — Identify and verify suppliers

Three to five names, each one visited on site, each with its audit sheet, its capacity in the peak month and its position on origin. If the right factory is not in our register yet, we go and find it rather than send you the nearest thing on the list.

03 — Compare quotes and negotiate

The same specification priced by every factory on the list, so the numbers are comparable rather than merely collected. Then the negotiation, in Vietnamese, against the cost breakdown behind each price.

04 — Manage samples and quality

Prototype, counter-sample, written tolerances, and the origin file built with the factory while the wood is still being cut. What you approve is the reference for everything that follows.

05 — Follow production and delivery

Weekly against the plan, inspection in the factory before the container is sealed, then the documents, the booking and the arrival. Afterwards, a written record of dates, defects and how anything that went wrong was settled.

Send a specification and the first step happens the same day.
