Many emerging designers who want to outsource production find the minimums required by most sewing contractors far beyond their reach. Contract sewing factories specify minimums of several hundred or even thousands of units per style. Smaller contractors who are willing to take on small runs often require at least 100 units, with a select few willing to go as low as 50 units per style. Restrictions on the number of sizes and color ways are also common. This is where we can help you - we are willing to go as low as 10 pieces/style as the required minimum. We specialize in small quantities.
In a world of outsourcing and corner-cutting we choose to do the exact opposite. Only by choosing to control the entire design and production process, is it possible to deliver a true world-class product. And by choosing to control the entire process we also ensure a sense of integrity and decency in how we operate as a company. We can ensure people are treated fairly and with respect. As we have our own workshop, we can move a design from the drawing board to the hanger in 1 day – this is one of our strongest features. This means we can easily place new products in our boutique to test our customers’ reaction before putting it into a large production run. If the product is not as well received as expected, we re-evaluate the design and improve it before further production. We see this as a way to provide better service, to keep inventories low and to encourage “slow fashion” over mass-produced disposable clothing.
