Is a full service studio providing start up help to new designers and companies that would like to introduce their own lines. Our goal is to bring back uniqueness and customization back to the garment industry. It has become apparent that wearing the same dress as someone else to a prom is now the norm because they were purchased at the same store that does not carry a wide enough variety.
In addition, our new designers cannot move forward past samples to produce their lines in small quantities at reasonable cost because it is extremely hard to find local factories.
Or if a consumer has a specific need to be addressed, a small modification, a size, ect. and it is not currently on the market, well they are out of luck. For example, a petite feminine shaped woman who needs outdoorsmen outfits and the boys camos do not fit correctly. Or, a group of doctors who need specialized pockets on their scrubs that are also warm, comfortable and anti-microbial.
We welcome all custom requests and provide the following services: presentation, brochures, design, pattern drafting, grading, spec books, samples and small lot production as well as custom garments. Our hope is to see more boutiques and specialty stores open in our neighborhoods instead of Wal-Marts.
