About the Role

An exciting opportunity is now available for a Garment Inspector / Presser to join our Silk Studio.

We’re looking for someone with a sharp eye and a genuine care for quality — someone who notices the details most people walk past. Based in our Silk Studio, you’ll be the person who ensures every garment leaving production is exactly as it should be: measured against specification, checked at every stage, and finished to the standard our customers expect.

• Spotting problems, figuring out what’s causing them, and helping the team sort them out.

• Keeping clear records of inspections and any issues you find.

• Sharing your findings with the production, design, and management teams.

• Helping train the team on how to handle silk and maintain high quality.

• Supporting improvements to our quality systems and processes.

Your Background:

• 2–3 years of experience in garment quality control – ideally with silk or other delicate/luxury fabrics.

• Good understanding of how garments are made and how different fabrics behave.

Your Skills:

• Super detail-oriented – you notice the small stuff.

• Confident spotting and categorizing garment defects.

• Great at working with others and communicating clearly.

• Comfortable using measuring tools and checklists.

• Good at solving problems and thinking things through.

• Basic computer skills – MS Office, Teams

• Able to stay calm and focused when things get busy.

Bonus Points If You Have:

• Experience with luxury or export-focused fashion brands.

• Knowledge of sustainable and ethical production practices.

What to Expect:

• This is a hands-on role, working across the factory floor and inspection areas.

• Some standing for long periods during checks.

• Some overtime may be required during peak production periods.

If you feel that you have the above skills then we want to hear from you! Come and join an enthusiastic, creative and dedicated team.
