In this Masterclass, The Sample Room founder,
Julia Van der Sommen will help you understand the
costs so you know how to take the next steps in your clothing label.
This live, interactive workshop is ideal for you if:
- You've been looking to start a label but you are not sure what to do first and how to decide on where to manufacture
- You have tried overseas manufacturers but the samples you got back are not right and you are wondering if you should persist
- You have spoken to a local manufacturer but you feel it is too hard and you could not work out the overall cost
- You have a business and have been producing offshore but the costs are so unpredictable but you are not sure if it is worth it to change
- You are aware of the local desire for locally made products but you are not sure where to start or if it is actually financially worth it
- You are interested in simply understanding if those statements from agents and offshore manufacturers are actually true
Have you ever questioned where you should get your clothes made?
With so much conflicting information around combined with 'advice' from people who have never had a business, have you ever wondered if you are making the right decision.
We all know that freight costs have increased over the last few years, but what about the currency exchange?
And have you ever received a production run only to find out that the number of garments you can actually sell is not at 100%
My name is Julia Van Der Sommen and I have worked in the fashion industry for over 30yrs. I am now the owner of Sample Room, a product development business in Melbourne which also offers small run manufacturing. But for many years I worked with offshore manufacturing so I have seen the costs first hand on both sides of the argument. I am also in an unusual position that I speak to 100's of business owners who are at their wit's ends with frustration from poor quality garments, high MOQ and costs that blow out at the last minute.
For years I had a gut feeling that the overall cost saving with making offshore was not clear and not as wonderful as people would expect.
So I set out to create an experiment. What if put the actual costs into a side by side comparison chart to see the TRUE COSTS. What I saw shocked and surprised me. I had first presented this in 2019 to a small group but when 2020 pandemic hit and costs went crazy, it was time for me to add in the other variables to see the results.
In this masterclass I want to step you through the different scenarios so you can make an informed decision when it comes to starting your fashion label or how you continue your fashion business.
I also want to help you understand what is involved if you are interested in local manufacturing and how it differs from offshore.
My name is Julia and I have put together this special masterclass based on the questions I know you need answered so you know how to progress.
