COVID-19 has taken the world, and more specifically the fashion industry, by storm. Brands and design houses have been forced to shutter doors and postpone shows, major events such as the MetGala and CFDA Awards have been postponed indefinitely, and retail shops around the globe have had to close their storefronts under mandated order.
Overproduction is coined “retail’s dirty little secret.” It not only costs the U.S. an estimated $50 billion per year, it is destroying the planet and can lead to a lot of bad press for your brand. While it’s no secret that fast fashion giants like H&M and Zara are guilty of overproduction, in 2018, Burberry was under fire after it was revealed that $38 million worth of unsold stock for the luxury label was sent to be incinerated.
Fashion designers evaluate several factors when choosing where to manufacture their clothing lines and accessories. Beyond the sticker price for labor, fashion designers must consider the quality of the craftsmanship, shipping and customs fees, contract negotiations, language barriers, transparency, and more.

Better yet, what if I showed you how to leverage the manufacturing process by making it as simple as possible?
