Abhijeet Seal

I am a seasoned Development Merchandiser in the fashion and leather goods industry, specialising in end-to-end sample development, costing, and production coordination. With hands-on experience in managing the complete product development lifecycle — from receiving a sample request to dispatching PP and CS samples — I ensure quality, speed, and accuracy at every step. I work closely with design, pattern, cutting, sampling, and production teams to ensure that each sample meets both buyer expectations and production feasibility. I’m deeply involved in studying design specs, selecting the right materials, identifying potential construction issues early, and aligning all departments to deliver on-time and production-friendly outcomes.

Experienced in product design and development, supported by strong market research and trend analysis. Skilled in costing, pricing, sourcing, and supplier management. Efficiently manage orders and coordinate logistics while maintaining clear, collaborative communication across teams. Regularly update buyers on shipment and sampling status and handle queries through email and calls. Oversee the complete execution of orders from raw materials to final dispatch, including conducting production meetings. Coordinated development and sampling with buyers, ensuring timely sample production and resolving team queries. Managed communication with purchasers, stores, and suppliers for material updates and order-related concerns. Oversaw projects from development to order confirmation

I managed the full product development cycle—from reviewing buyer comments and creating samples as per tech packs to coordinating with development, sampling teams, and suppliers. I prepared product files, handled product photoshoots, and developed presentation materials to support R&D. I maintained consistent communication with buyers, providing updates on samples and orders, while ensuring smooth coordination with purchasing and stores for material requirements. Throughout each project, I drove the process from initial development to securing new orders with accuracy and efficiency.
