Who Will Benefit Most from this Tour?

• Emerging designers who are eager to learn the complexities of the production process, how to cut costs, and communicate quality control standards
• Designers who’d like to produce domestically and build relationships with the best manufacturers in Texas
• Designers who’d like to learn from an industry professional and avoid wasting time and/or money making rookie mistakes

Build Relationships With:

• Wholesale Fabric Suppliers– Did you know it’s best to source fabrics BEFORE you start sketching? Fabric weight, weave, and content are variables that will affect the outcome of your design. Learn how to source the right fabrics for your design ideas, with the best price and lowest minimums.
• Wholesale Trim Suppliers– Trim supplier stops vary on each tour but they are always exciting! Whether it be zippers, buttons, labels, embroidery, or appliques; you’ll learn how to source with financial efficiency!
• Patternmakers– Finding the right patternmaker can make or break your design. Some patternmakers are more technically-driven while others excel at unconventional, abstract designs. Also, different patternmakers focus in different sectors of the market. For example, some patternmakers thrive in sportswear while others thrive in evening wear and bridal. During this visit, you’ll learn how to determine whether a patternmaker is right for your brand.
• Manufacturers- From sizing to cutting and construction, the manufacturing process is very complex. During these visits, you’ll learn how to work with the best manufacturers in Texas and what questions you should ask during an interview.

*Note that we have personally vetted these vendors for quality and professionalism!
