Human and technical skills.

From the creator-designer’s first stroke of the pen to the display of the products on the shelves, it takes about ten months. The Orchestra team links together design, creation, and presentation of the clothes, with production control, logistics management, distribution, direct sales, and after-sales service. From creation to distribution, the supply chain is completely under control.
