Apparel & Accessories Production
Global expertise in ethical manufacturing
Building a physical product line is a minefield of logistics and ethical dilemmas. I’ve worked with artisans in over 40 countries with whom I continue to partner. I help designers and retailers build supply chains they can be proud of. From NYC’s Garment District to artisanal textile cooperatives abroad, I specialize in lowering the barrier to industry entry for boutique brands by providing access to small-scale factories and suppliers who offer attainable minimums without sacrificing quality or ethics. I serve as your production partner, helping you manage the "invisible" work of fashion - sourcing, sampling, and manufacturing - so you can focus on the design.
