Sorry for the lack of posts! I have been extremely busy at work (Back to School season starts soon), working on Fifth&Brannan… oh, and vacationing :)
Because being a perfectionist is part of who I am, I have decided to push my line into S/S instead of rushing into F/W. There are a few things I would like to tweak before I send the line to production. This was not my first choice, but I felt that releasing in July would have been a poor decision.
Now, with having changed the collection to S/S, I am going to have to source new fabrics. It’s a nice change to search for cotton twills and lighter weight fabrics, but I am running into MOQ (minimum order quantity) issues. I have found that most twill suppliers require a 5,000-10,000 meter minimum. Being a smaller company, this is a big problem.
I have searched tirelessly for a good supplier of cotton twill. Because there are so many colors to choose from, I may have that working in my favor. Most suppliers will let you choose from a stock collection, which means much lesser minimums. Thankfully, I still have my shirting supplier locked in and I will be using them for my S/S collection.
