3D MODELLING
In the Beste-Usella production facility, skilled model makers develop garments by combining the most traditional technologies, such as paper patterns with CAD (Computer Aided Design). Thanks to this computer design program, the modeling becomes 3D and, by assembling the various components of the pattern, it allows to simulate the final garment result in three dimensions.

AUTOMATED CUT
At the end, the fabric has to be transformed into a garment and arrive at the Beste-Usella plant, where it is subjected to cutting as a first step. In our manufacture workshop, the cut is completely electronic, equipped with a rotating blade that works on a suction mat, managed by a computer system and relative CAD. It performs a millimetric cut of all the parts that makes up the finished garment.

LASER CUT
Laser performs cuts with millimetric precision on synthetic materials, as well as engravings and graphic drawings on them. Thanks to these precise and finest instruments, our garments are made up with a meticulous accuracy.

ULTRASONIC SEWING
The ultrasonic sew is a high-tech machine that uses ultra-high-frequency ultrasounds to dissolve and weld synthetic fibers. That allows to simulate a traditional but seamless stitching. This technological novelty is capable to obtain resistant and waterproof products as well as giving an undeniable taste of contemporaneity to the garment.

TAPING MACHINE
The taping machine is the one that, working with different kind of pressure and heat, glues the layers of the fabric by attaching one to each other. This advanced technique is mainly used to protect the traditional seams from water infiltration, and so increasing the performance features of the garment.

CAROUSEL PRESS
The carousel press is an indispensable element for the making of the heat-welded garments, it glues the two layers of the fabric using an hot suction air using the heat sensitivity of the glue. The crushing times and pressures are managed by a microcomputer that stores work data.

DOWNING
MONOBI down jackets are feathered in Beste-Usella facility. The amount of feathers inserted into the garments is dosed with extreme precision and the brand is particularly sensitive also to the quality of them. For that reason, MONOBI uses RDS-certified feathers, the international standard which declares a feather respecting the animal welfare. MONOBI garments are padded with a mix of 90% pure and very light down goose and 10% down. The product quality index is dictated by the fill-power, that is the ratio between the volume and the weight of the padding of the down. In a range of 300 and 900 cuin (where 900 indicates the highest quality) the value of the MONOBI feather stands at 800 cuin.

SEWING LAB
From the dyeing and finishing plants, the fabric is shipped to Beste's laboratory in Romania where, under the direct control of our technical staff, the production cycle begins. Automatic blade cutting, laser cutting, traditional and ultrasonic assembly operations, welding and thermo-taping, feathers or artificial fibers inserts, ironing and final testing. Then, once packed, MONOBI garments go back to Beste-Usella for final quality control.

IRONING & QUALITY CONTROL
The garments back to Beste from the Romanian Laboratory and those born in our internal sewing plant are almost ready to be shipped to their destinations but, they are firstly subjected to the last phase of the making up: quality control. Placed on the ironing board, each garment is vaporized with high steam pressure in order to remove all the imperfections and to check the conformity of every detail.

FROM US TO YOU
Once ready, the MONOBI garments go throught our semi-automatic warehouse Beste-Usella warehouse. There the handling takes place by “order” or by "model" depending on the case and needs and thanks to a software control. Our warehouse workers carefully pack each garment that comes to us and will be delivered to you.

3D MODELLING
In our Usella facility, skilled pattern makers develop garments
combining the most traditional technologies,
such as paper patterns, with CAD (Computer Aided Design).
Thanks to this computer design program, the pattern-making becomes 3D:
infact through the operator input who assembles the various components of the pattern,
we are able to simulate the final garment in 3D.

AUTOMATED CUT
At the end of the production cycle,
our 13 highly skilled workers are called to inspect the fabric at Specula.
During this phase, any eventual defect
coming from weaving, dyeing or finishing process is detected.
Once Beste certifies the fabric to be in compliance with our standards,
we are ready to finally create a MONOBI garment.

LASER CUT
Laser performs cuts on synthetic materials at a very millimetric precision.
Also engravings and graphic drawings can be done.
And it is thanks to these precise and finest instruments
that our garments are carefully made.

ULTRASONIC SEWING
The ultrasonic sewing machine is an high-tech machine
which uses ultra-high-frequency ultrasounds
to dissolve and to weld synthetic fibers.
In this way it simulates a traditional stitching
but actually without any yarn.
This new technology allows us to get high-resistant and waterproof products
as well as to give a modern look to our garments.

TAPING MACHINE
The taping machine works with different kind of pressure
and heat according to the material,
it glues the layers of fabric attaching one to each other.
This advanced technique is mainly used to protect the traditional seams
from water infiltration, improving also the garment performances.

CAROUSEL PRESS
The carousel press is necessary to realize thermosealed garments,
it glues the two layers of the fabric using first the heat
and then cold intake air taking advantage of the thermosensitivity of the glue.
A micro computer supervises the crushing and pressure times storing work data..

DOWNING
MONOBI down jackets are feathered direclty in our Usella factory.
We are very careful and precise dosing the quanitity of feathers we put inside the garments
and are very sensitive to the quality of the feathers .
That is why MONOBI uses RDS-certified feathers,
the international standard which ensures that the feathers and down used
are derived from animals reared in accordance with welfare principles and criteria.
MONOBI down jackets contain 90% down and 10% pure and very light goose feather.
The product quality index is measured by the fill-power,
that is the ratio between the volume and the down weight :
the evaluation range goes between 300 and 900 cuin (rising) .
MONOBI fill power is 800cuin .

SEWING LAB
From the dyeing and finishing departments,
Beste ships the fabric to our Romenian laboratory and
under the direct control of our technical staff, the production cycle begins.
Automatic blade cutting, laser cutting, traditional and ultrasonic assembly operations,
welding and thermo-taping, feathers or artificial fibers inserts, ironing and final testing.
Once MONOBI garments are finished,
we have them sent back to our Logistic centre factory
for the final quality inspection.
