I help apparel startups navigate the apparel industry to get their line launched on time, within budget. I have 20 years' experience in developing and sourcing fabrics, trims, & garments, creating & maintaining testing protocols like CPSIA, RSL, and apparel performance testing, and I use that knowledge to help my clients save money on materials while launching their clothing line. The industry doesn't always make it easy, but my clients walk away from our call with extreme clarity around their apparel production calendar, sourcing options, their supply chains, and the product costing they'll need to see a profit. Apparel entrepreneurs can waste thousands of dollars and months of precious time due to poor decisions based on a lack of apparel industry knowledge, and I really hate it when that happens. I help my clients save thousands on material costs, shave weeks off their production calendars, and help them avoid costly incorrect material shipments from their suppliers. I help entrepreneurs understand not only the basics of apparel creation, but I also share detailed knowledge on how to get products launched in this industry as quickly and as inexpensively as possible. Have questions about apparel? Book a call today!
