Five brands we work with

  • A woman in a black sports bra and running shorts runs up stadium steps.
    29 → 14days per reorder

    DTC activewear brand

    Its broker gave the sewing to two factories and renegotiated the lead time on every reorder of its compression pieces. The brand now reorders from us at a price 9% under the broker's and at the lead time agreed on its first order.

  • A washed charcoal hoodie on a workbench in front of a folded stack of the same style.
    −71%returns

    Streetwear label

    Our inspectors check all of the label's 5,000-plus pieces a season against its approved sample, from the print colors to the stitching. Pieces that need rework go back to the production line before shipping. The label now gets 99.6% of its pieces without a fault.

  • A model in a cream and black one-piece swimsuit with a cutout under the bust.
    −31%cost per suit, delivered

    Swimwear start-up

    It bought its swimsuits from a US reseller and couldn't see what they cost to make. We buy them straight from a swimwear factory we've vetted and itemize the factory's price and the add-ons on the quote. We sewed its woven labels into the first 150 suits at our relabeling site.

  • A model in a long black quilted coat worn open over a white top and wide light jeans.
    −64%photo cost per colorway

    Outerwear brand

    Studio shoots fit the budget for only a few of the eight colorways the brand launches a season. The rest went online with plain factory photos. Our inspectors photograph the jackets at the factory before they ship. In AI Studio we put the jackets from those photos on AI-generated models.

  • A model in a brown lace-trimmed slip dress, knee-high black boots and a small black bag.
    +45%margin per order

    TikTok fashion creator

    For the looks in her videos, we buy garments a factory already makes and sew in her label. We make her designs to her spec as Custom orders and hold the stock for all 60+ products. TikTok Shop orders ship from our warehouse in her mailer within 24 hours.

Garments we developed with customers

  • A measuring tape across the off-white zip hoodie on a cutting table during the garment review.

    Off-white boxy zip hoodie

    The customer sent a photo and no measurements. We worked out the boxy fit with them one measurement at a time.

  • The sand jacket front on a table beside brown and sand shade cards during the color review.

    Sand zip jacket with a layered print

    We split the artwork into screens and distressed only the brown layers. The green script on top printed solid.

  • Camouflage sleeve panels laid out in pairs around the white body pieces on a cutting table.

    Raglan long sleeve in camouflage and white

    The raglan sleeves left less white on the front. We sized the chest graphic to fit once the customer approved the chest width.

  • Mustard and black fabric swatches with ribbing laid on spec sheets during the trim review.

    Mustard and black racing long sleeve

    Its arm lettering and chest graphics came from two different designs by the customer. Both chest graphics printed from one screen.

  • A measuring tape across the charcoal waffle long sleeve with dark lettering.

    Charcoal waffle-knit long sleeve

    The dark lettering had to stay readable on a faded charcoal waffle. The customer approved the contrast on a test print, and the sample passed the first time.
