Producing a collection takes meticulous planning, communication, on-the-spot problem solving and a huge commitment. There is so much to think about and you have to be on it and available throughout the process, so let us help you!
There are lots of manufacturing options and it can feel confusing and overwhelming especially if you have never done this before. Acting as project manager, I will use my years of manufacturing & design knowledge and contacts to work through the key stages in the sourcing and manufacturing process. This is high-touch support and will see us working closely together.
Sourcing and Manufacturing
Now that you have your designs, you need to get them made. With so many options available to you and not really knowing which solution is best, it can be a daunting task. This is where I come in.
I can help you with:
- Assistance finding the perfect manufacturing partner for you whether that be local or offshore.
- Fabric/trims sourcing and supplier liaison.
- Factory support and liaison, breaking down costings, moq’s, timeframes, critical paths etc…
- Manufacturing consultations and breaking down of the process and technical jargon.
Production management
This is the development stage before your product is ready to be commercialised. From first sample (and maybe a 2nd or third…) to bulk production, it needs to be handled with care so that every one of your bulk samples is sent in perfect condition and ready to be sold. We can help you manage this process
- Sample management (getting your sample perfect may take more than one round of sampling which is something I ask all my clients to bear in mind).
- Fitting management.
- Critical path management.
- Bulk production management.
- Liaising with suppliers and factories to ensure timelines are being adhered to and to keep them accountable.
- My full support and dedication for the duration of your project
As everyone’s needs are different, the proposal will be tailored depending on your individual requirements along with the number of products to be managed. If, after reviewing the proposal, you decide to go ahead we will get you booked in and start on the good stuff!
