What gets made here
Development first: getting the pattern, the sample and the paperwork right before bulk. Bulk for dresses, wovens and tailoring can follow here or in another town.

How a brief runs
Three steps, all by email. One point of contact from sample to delivery.
Tell us the product, pieces per style, fabric and your target date. We reply within 24 hours.
We read it and assign the factory in our group built for it, in London or wherever fits better, within 7 days of a qualified brief. About 1 in 5 briefs is not a fit, and we say so by email at no cost.
The factory quotes and bills you directly. No commission, no markup. If we charge a fee, it is quoted in writing before any work starts and never tied to order size.

Visiting the factory
UK factories can be visited. Once we have placed your brief, you can arrange a visit directly with the factory.
Not sure it’s the right town?
You can sample in London and run bulk elsewhere. If your bulk run fits a factory in another town better, we tell you before anything is agreed and place it there. You still send one brief.
Four towns, one brief
Our group covers the four towns where most British clothing gets made. You don’t have to pick one: send the brief and we place it.
