What we do

The Slow Fashion Innovation Program (Product Development & Prototypes & Manufacturing Sourcing): 

Phase 1: PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT: 

a) Learning: 

In this phase, we will help you to go from idea to prototyping. Check below all the details: 

Online learning platform: Free access to our exclusive platform where you will find content to learn more about sustainable production and discover the different kinds of sustainable fabrics, packaging, labels, certifications, etc. Link here.

Free access to our in-person meetups and courses: sometimes we organize meetups and workshops in different cities across Europe. You are welcome to attend our events for free. 

Online mentoring: We will offer you up to 5 online sessions of 1h to discuss details of your project conception. 

b) Sourcing:

Sustainable Fabric Source: we will search and provide you the recommendation for sustainable fabric suppliers specific to your project. We will also send physical samples to your house/office (only for customers based in Europe). 

Accessories: we will search and provide you the recommendation of accessories suppliers specific to your project, such as elastics, zippers, buttons, etc.

Labels: we will search and provide you the recommendation of label suppliers specific to your project. 

Packaging: we will search and provide you with recommendations for packaging solutions specific to your kind of product. 

c) Development: 

Pattern-Making: we will provide the patterns of your styles.

Prototypes/physical samples: we will provide the prototypes of your styles. 

You will finish this phase with the final physical sample(s) of your styles ready to be sent for quotation for medium/large production with our manufacturers partners. 

Phase 2: PRE-PRODUCTION ASSISTANCE

Manufacturing sourcing: we are going to search and introduce you to a manufacturer according to the specifications of your project, checking in advance with them specific pré-production details that are important to you, such as lead times, finishings, fabric printing, packaging, label supply, shipment, and logistic services. We are going to help you to request a budget for the production of your style in your quantities;

Pré-production Budget: based on the fabrics, accessories, labels and packaging chosen by you and the manufacturing costs of production in small/medium and large scale we will help you to build a pré-production budget.

 

Note: prototypes will be done in raw materials provided by us or you can choose to produce them in the fabric chosen by you (in this case you must pay for the provision of fabric and specific accessories). The prices provided do not include the costs with fabrics, accessories and labels, packaging and shipment of samples that must be paid by the client. 

Timeline for this project: 2 to 6 months, considering the speed and ease of communication we have with our suppliers and you. You must expect a longer reply time during holidays.
