If I were designing a jacket today, Iโ€™d choose every trim before I chose the factory ๐Ÿค”

A jacket is the most expensive thing to get wrong. Shell, lining, interfacing, buttons, zip and collar each have their own supplier and their own lead time. Forget one and the whole order waits ๐Ÿ˜•

One shape: a chore jacket. Seams, pockets and interfacing written into the tech pack. Then a fit sample and a fit test, arms forward over a jumper, because that is how it will actually be worn ๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿฝ

Hereโ€™s how my conversation went with a founder when she told me that she found a factory that makes for H&M ๐Ÿค”

I told her: not yet.
ย 
Hereโ€™s what I told her ๐Ÿ‘‡

1๏ธโƒฃ Youโ€™re making 3 products, not 27
2๏ธโƒฃ Youโ€™re still testing what sells
3๏ธโƒฃ 500 per style, per colour adds up to thousands of pieces ๐Ÿ“ฆ
4๏ธโƒฃ When the big order lands, your sample waits โณ
5๏ธโƒฃ You need a maker whoโ€™ll answer your questions, not one too busy to ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿฝ
ย 
The right factory isnโ€™t the biggest one. Itโ€™s the one that fits where you are today ๐Ÿงต๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฝ
ย 
๐Ÿ“– The Dream Brand Playbook gives you the whole order, step by step, with the templates, the questions to ask, and an optional Supplier List of 103 makers in 6 countries.

๐Ÿ’ฌ Comment PLAYBOOK and Iโ€™ll send you the link.

This is the holy grail of designing. Steal this exact strategy using the design tools to create your first product.

Most first orders go wrong. Hereโ€™s why ๐Ÿ‘‡๐ŸŽ‚

Show a baker a photo of a vanilla cake and youโ€™ll get something that looks rightโ€ฆ and tastes wrong ๐Ÿ˜ฌ
๐Ÿ“ธ A photo shows what it looks like
๐Ÿ“ A recipe shows whatโ€™s in it

Itโ€™s the same with your supplier. Send a Pinterest board and theyโ€™ll say โ€œYes, we can make this!โ€ โœ…
A couple of hundred dollars later, you get exactly what you asked for. Just not what you expected ๐Ÿ™ƒ
Your spec is your recipe ๐Ÿฐ
โœ๏ธ Sketches
๐Ÿงฉ Every component
๐Ÿชก Embroidery
๐ŸŽจ Print
๐Ÿท๏ธ Branding
๐Ÿ“ Measurements
Hand that to any maker and you get exactly what you expected โœจ Thatโ€™s the whole difference.

๐Ÿ’ฌ Comment TECH PACK and Iโ€™ll send you my free template. Fill it in, send it back, and Iโ€™ll review it ๐Ÿ‘€
๐Ÿ“Œ Save this before you message a supplier or share it with someone starting their clothing brand.

500 disco balls ๐Ÿชฉโ˜€๏ธ Every single one wrong. Hereโ€™s the whole story โฌ‡๏ธ
I met a founder at a show yesterday and I canโ€™t stop thinking about her ๐Ÿ’ญ
Full-time job. A one-year-old baby. Designing disco balls that look like the sun in her evenings โ˜€๏ธ
She had the whole thing: the mood board, the designs, the name, the story ๐Ÿ’›
She sent the mood board to a manufacturer, waited six weeksโ€ฆ and 500 arrived in her garage ๐Ÿ“ฆ
Wrong shape. Sequins nowhere near the quality she pictured ๐Ÿ˜ž
It wasnโ€™t the manufacturerโ€™s fault. It was nobodyโ€™s fault. Nobody tells you to write a spec before you make a product ๐Ÿ“
A product isnโ€™t one step. Itโ€™s six, in this order:
1๏ธโƒฃ Idea โ†’ 2๏ธโƒฃ Design โ†’ 3๏ธโƒฃ Spec โ†’ 4๏ธโƒฃ Sample โ†’ 5๏ธโƒฃ Manufacture โ†’ 6๏ธโƒฃ Launch
On 34 calls, almost everyone was trying to start at stage 5 ๐Ÿšฉ
Skipping a stage doesnโ€™t save time. The stage you skip is the one that would have caught the mistake.
๐Ÿ’ฌ At stage one with an idea, or jumped to five and it went wrong? Comment PLAN for a free call. Weโ€™ll find which stage youโ€™re on and start there ๐Ÿคโœจ

If I were designing a t-shirt today, this is exactly where Iโ€™d start ๐Ÿค” Hereโ€™s a concept brand Alba that you can use for your T-shirt brand that you have been thinking about for a while โœ”๏ธ

Start with ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿฝ
Not with a logo. Not with twelve colours. With a moodboard, one hero tee and one small graphic.

Then the step most people skip: feel the fabric. 180, 220 and 240 GSM look the same in a photo. They donโ€™t feel the same on your skin, and they donโ€™t wash the same ๐Ÿ˜•

Neck label, rib and print position go in the tech pack. Sample it, wash it three times, check the shrink and the twist. Only then produce ๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿฝ

ALBA is a concept brand I created to show you the process. Theyโ€™re the ones I use with my clients โœ”๏ธ

If I were designing a modest piece today, Iโ€™d start with Pinterest board, fabric one silhouette, sample designed local seamstress and build my story over IG whilst in development ๐Ÿค”

One shape you have tested and that youโ€™ve reached for every week. Then Iโ€™d hold the fabric up to the daylight to check the sheerness!

Coverage goes in the tech pack in centimetres, not โ€œlongโ€ and โ€œhighโ€: sleeve to the wrist, hem to the ankle, the height of the neckline. Then the lining and the closures.

Then test the sample the way she will live in it. Sit, walk, raise your arms. A modest dress has to function, not just look lovely on a hanger ๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿฝ

SAFA is a concept brand I created to show you the process. The checks are the ones I use with my clients โœ”๏ธ
