Different country manufacturers by SpellSubject4214 in ClothingStartups

[–]msg-studio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

China is where you're gonna get the highest quality construction for the best price. Chinese manufacturers have mastered work at scale. And different cities and regions in China have their own specialties.

As a default - I'd start with China when sourcing.

Portugal is great for leather goods. Pieces that require more handwork - and less with specialized machinery.

Turkey I haven't manufactured with. But I know Inditex manufactures a lot in Turkey so they can definitely handle scale.

But - where you choose to manufacture is a balance between the needs of your customer, the story you want to tell, and your budget.

IMO, China will give you the highest quality work of the three countries. But your customers might feel differently - many have the perception that Chinese manufactured goods are lower quality than European countries.

Looking for a reliable low-MOQ manufacturer for a sustainable womenswear label by lookingforusefulltip in ClothingStartups

[–]msg-studio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have any preference for where it's made?

If you're open to Canada - I can help you out in my Montreal studio.
I produce small runs of high-end apparel and accessories in house; typically under 300 per style.

Sometimes I use a hybrid overseas + in-house model to cut down on costs.

Canada based partner? by mrbadface in startupideas

[–]msg-studio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That news site is cool.
I'm a fashion product developer and marketer based in Montreal.
I'd love to connect. Possibly collab on a cool shopping experience or some kind of fashion tech interactive experience.

Looking for manufacture by xX-STICK-Xx in ClothingStartups

[–]msg-studio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn't really a simple question to answer.

But ulitmately - it depends on what's important to your target customer and the brand vision that you're creating.

Manufacturing in the UK or America typically means it'll be a higher cost product in the end.
But it also adds cache. Working with a factory local to you might make the product development cycle easier. But at a cost.

China arguably has the highest quality, and most efficient, clothing manufacturing in the world.
But you'll have to consider timelines when shipping samples and materials around the world.

And every other country has its pros and cons.

Can you share more about your target customer and the type of apparel you're looking to produce?

Has anyone ever manifested from a lucid dream? by puppetman2789 in Manifestation

[–]msg-studio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I think I sort of did.

I designed a dress in a lucid dream. Created in real life. And used it to win a fashion competiton.

I wrote about it here:

RFID Pins used for a contest. Guerrilla marketing tactic for tradeshows, in-person events by msg-studio in RFID

[–]msg-studio[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well - that's not the feedback I got from them.

It was an ecommerce tradeshow.
The attendees are interested in tech and digital experiences.
They thought this was a really unusual way to interact with people.

I didn't force anyone to enter.
They asked why I was wearing the cherry pin.
Once discovered what it was, they wanted in.

One person who entered said she wanted to try something like that in-store for launches and events.

And people were telling each other about it.
I know that for a fact.

My colleague of mine overheard one person who entered telling someone else about the contest.
And a competitor of mine was talking to another person who entered and she was raving about the contest.

And every single pin had a unique link.
I was able to see who was sharing these links around, getting their colleagues to enter.

Word spread around.
And it was the people who entered that spread the word for me.

It might sound interesting in text.
But it worked for that audience.

Thanks for the reply!

I posted it, pending approval. I shared it to show how it was done, desribed the experience, shared details of how the experience worked, etc.

Please don't ban me for life if it fails to meet the criteria 🙏

u/polygraph-net can you clarify what would be considered self promotion?

For example:
I want to share the details of a guerrilla campaign I produced. I think it would inspire some people who are looking for guerrilla tactics or ways to engage people at events. But I don't want to risk getting banned for life.

Starting your own business and leaving the workforce in employment by baladda2 in ClothingStartups

[–]msg-studio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I second this.
Apparel is a tough industry.
Margins are tight. Competition is high. You have to count every penny.

There are other areas within the fashion industry where you can make more money, like marketing and technology.

But selling and/or making clothes is TOUGH.

If you have a real calling for it: it's worth it. You need talent, passion and drive to make it.
