Startup Desk
Starting something? Start here.
A way in for new and growing brands. Bring us an idea, a sketch, a sample that did not work, or a question you are embarrassed to ask — and we will tell you what we think, and what we can do.
Where we can help
What you can bring us
An idea, not yet a product
What it is, who it is for, what it should feel like. We will talk through the garment, the fabric and what making it actually involves.
Design and tech packs
A tech pack is what turns a drawing into something a factory can make the same way twice. If you do not have one, that is one of the things we do.
Sampling and fit
A proto sample to hold, wear and change your mind about, before anything is committed to.
Sourcing
Yarn, fabric, trims and packaging, including the questions about materials you should be asking and might not know to.
Production when you are ready
Manufacturing through the same team and the same process as every other order. Ask us about volumes — the answer depends on the garment, so we will give you a real one rather than a number on a web page.
A second opinion
Already working with someone and something is not right? Describe it. Sometimes the useful answer is that your current supplier can fix it.
A manufacturer, not an incubator. No programme and no equity — just the people who would make the thing, answering questions before there is an order.
Tell us what you are building
Your name and email, roughly where you are, and what you need. Nothing here commits you to anything, and there is no wrong answer to any of it.
Already know exactly what you need?
If you have the garment, the quantities and a date, the standard enquiry form is the faster route.
