Outdoor and Performance Product Development
From a good idea to a product that actually has to work outdoors.
Designing an outdoor product is different from drawing something that looks technical.
The product is subjected to movement, load, wear, moisture, temperature, weight, fit, and a user who expects it to continue functioning when conditions become less comfortable.
That is where product development begins for us.
TVH Design helps outdoor, sports, and performance brands translate an idea into a manufacturable product. From initial user requirements and design to material selection, technical development, prototypes, tech packs, sourcing, and preparation for production.
Clothing is an important part of that. But not the only one.
We also develop bags, accessories, and other products in which textiles, materials, fit, movement, and technical construction come together.

Do you have a product idea and do you want to know how to technically develop it into a manufacturable product?
Send us what you already have. We will assess what development is still needed to take the next step towards a prototype or production.
Frequently Asked Questions
No. We can get involved when only an idea, briefing, reference product, sketch, or visual exists. The less that has been technically defined, the more product development is needed before a tech pack can be created.
No. Our origins lie in fashion and technical clothing design, but we apply the same knowledge to bags, accessories, and other soft goods where textiles, materials, construction, ergonomics, and production come together.
Depending on the project, we guide sample and prototype development with suitable suppliers. We use prototypes to evaluate design, construction, materials, and use before a product goes into production.
Yes, when it comes to bags and soft goods where textiles, components, construction, and production come together. The exact approach depends on the complexity and the requirements of the product.
TVH Design is not a certification body. When testing or certification is relevant, we can take this into account during product development and prepare the technical product and dossier for the process with authorized testing and certification parties.
