Not everything is always as straightforward as it looks.

Developing and bringing an apparel line to market is an exciting and multi-step endeavor.  For new start-ups/ brands, it can sometimes be overwhelming.  With any brand new to the apparel industry there is a lot to navigate together with many tasks ahead so we at Guided Makers appreciate it can sometimes be difficult to know where to start.

Regardless of where you stand with your project, there will be many continuing questions along the way.

Is my design right for the market?  Where do I source a fabric?  How will I know if my garments fit? What questions do I need to ask a factory?  Sure, you can navigate yourself and many do – who doesn’t love Google?!  What Google can’t do is anticipate what you need to know, set clear timelines, make sure your product has the perfect fit or coach you and your brand though your first production run.

Getting on the right path early in your project will help you define clear goals, stay true to your brand and ultimately save time and money.

Don’t be misguided or get lost in the depths of the internet trying to navigate the garment and textile industry.

Guided Makers is here to help you find your path and help you move through the process from your initial idea to a production ready concept.
