Design
Our design team takes ownership of the process of designing from development to actual garments. To Create sales worthy clothes for our clients each season we work on new concepts, understand new trends, new colors, new fabrics and prints that are needed.
CADS
We bring the sketches to 2D life with the implementation of fashion CADS done meticulously in applications such as Adobe illustrator.
Sourcing
We handle the product development cycle from design concept, tech packages, fitting of the garments, manufacture allocation and cost. The Time and Action (TNA) calendar is one of the most important tools when you are launching a clothing line. Think of it like a playbook. It’s an outline of work in progress (WIP) for every step that needs to be taken place. Creating a TNA Calendar is not just writing down each step and duration. It’s also determining the short term and long-term plans.
Fit / Tech Design
After designing the line, the fit of the clothes is the most important component for your success. Fit is personal. You can like a nice outfit but if it doesn’t fit you will return it or keep it, but you will not wear it because it doesn’t fit. Fit is essential to success.
Production & Manufacturing
We have partnerships with extensive manufactures locally and internationally. That partnership helps us to negotiate the best price for our clients, supervise the production process, quality of the garments and delivering goods on time. It also helps to trust that our partners follow rules of regulations set by the US government about labor and manufacturing.
Sales
We have relationships with retail stores, and we can get your clothes into some of them.
Shipping & Delivery
Overseas vendors ship the clothes to US customs then we ship them to your Distribution Center (DC) where they will be housed to be shipped to retail/e-commerce and customers directly.
Social Media Marketing
*We can help post 20 posts monthly on social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter etc. to help you Market your clothing line/e-commerce site. *doing the duration of your contract*
