Garment inspection: checking jeans at a factory in Guangdong
● GUANGDONG PROVINCE · CHINA

I inspect your apparel before you pay for defects

I check your batch right at the factory in Guangdong Province: photo & video report, measurements, AQL inspection or your own spec. Your eyes and hands in China.

What goes wrong without an inspection

Sewing defects

Crooked seams, snags, stains, off-cut patterns

Wrong assortment

Wrong sizes, wrong colour or fabric

Bait-and-switch

You get something other than the approved sample

Returns

Defects hit your revenue and marketplace rating

Checking a batch upfront is cheaper than buying back defects, absorbing returns and repairing your marketplace rating.

With a marketplace-ready inspection — Wildberries & Ozon it works the other way:

Fewer returns

from defects and wrong assortment

Listing rating

holds up — no drop from bad reviews

Warehouse intake

the batch passes with no surprises

Before payment

defects stay with the supplier while your money is safe

What the inspection covers

A full batch-inspection checklist — from the factory visit to the final verdict.

On-site factory visit

I go to the production line or warehouse in person — Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Dongguan, Foshan, Zhongshan, Shantou and other cities across Guangdong

AQL or your own spec

Batch sampling to the international quality standard — or strictly to your requirements

Full control

Seams, fabric, trims, measurements, colour, packaging

Photo & video

A report with real footage on the day of the inspection

A clear verdict

Accept the batch or reject it — no guesswork

Marketplace-ready

I inspect against marketplace requirements — for a clean warehouse intake with no returns

Specialised in apparel

What exactly I check in garments

Not a “generic inspection of any product”, but a deep check of sewn goods — focused on the parameters where a batch actually loses quality.

Measurements (POM)

Length, width, sleeves, fit — against the spec and the approved sample

Seams & stitching (SPI)

Seam straightness and strength, stitch density, snags and skipped stitches

Colourfastness

Dye bleeding and crocking (colourfastness), shade variation across the batch

Fit & symmetry

Symmetry of sleeves, pockets and collar; overall look of the garment

Trims & hardware

Zippers, buttons, snaps, pullers — function and durability

Labels & care tags

Size, composition, care, brand — correct and present

Marketplace labelling

Barcode, mandatory marking, size chart for the listing, hang-tag, packaging and polybag to marketplace requirements

A professional standard

Inspection to the AQL standard

Not “by eye”, but to the international ISO 2859-1 standard: a representative sample is pulled from the batch, defects are split into critical, major and minor — and the batch gets a clear verdict.

Don’t need AQL? I’ll inspect strictly to your own spec and checklist — whatever works for you.

Critical = 0 — no critical defect is acceptable
!Major — AQL 2.5 — major defects (unsellable goods)
·Minor — AQL 4.0 — minor deviations

Use the calculator on the right to see how many units to inspect in your batch and how many defects are acceptable →

Additional services

Not just batch inspection — I also help at the sample and fitting stage.

Home sample testing

Regular clients send garment and lingerie samples to my home. I photograph them in detail and give feedback: fit, workmanship, comfort, how the piece behaves when worn. I highlight flaws, help compare samples and assess fabric quality.

Fit models & try-ons

A roster of fit models across different body types. I arrange try-ons on real people — women and men — so you can see the fit before launching the batch.

Comparing fabric samples
A flaw on a sample

I film in detail, compare samples and point out flaws. Sample videos available on request.

What my batch report looks like

AQL is a sampling method (how many units of the batch to inspect to the standard), and the inspection report itself looks like this. A summary table for the whole batch — what was checked, how many defects and which defects per item. Plus a size-chart check: real measurements against the spec, with mismatches highlighted.

than a hundred inspections

Who I am

Your inspector in Guangdong

My name is Maria Kuznetsova. I live in Guangzhou and go to the factories in person — I inspect batches on-site, with my own eyes. I also try garments on and test the fit as a model: I look not only at the checklist, but at how the piece actually sits and behaves when worn.

For you, that means your eyes and hands in China: an honest report with photo and video, and a straight verdict — accept the batch or send it back.
