Summary:
A Swedish startup is looking for a sewing factory in Europe that can support a startup company, but also grow with the company to a larger production over time. The company has experience in textile production and some pattern making but is looking for a manufacturer that could also provide pattern making and development of their styles to fit production. A high service level and design interpretation knowledge is required.
Description:
The Swedish company is an apparel startup that will be launched in Sweden during 2019 focusing on long-lasting high quality business attire for women, mainly dresses to begin with, but other items as well later on.
The company is now looking for a sewing factory in Europe that could provide them with production capabilities, pattern making and pattern development, grading and fitting, and access to sourcing of materials and labels. The factory would have to be open to work with environmental initiatives, such as using scrap materials to make garment bags, or similar.
The main product will be staple dresses with low style variation and the first item the company would be looking to enter into a manufacturing agreement for would be one dress in one fabric, in many sizes.
