We believe in UK Manufacturing. “You Dream it, We Make it”
We can manufacture within the UK or abroad. We have connections in and outside London.The benefits of home production include the ability to monitor quality and liaise in person with the production team, it is also quicker and logistically easier to deliver finished orders to UK based retailers. It could also contribute to a more favourable image of the brand from both an ethical standpoint as well as in connection with the Made in Britain campaign.Manufacturing in the UK would be best suited to companies, with smaller runs as overseas factories will typically impose a minimum docket order. It could also potentially be more financially viable than production abroad once the costs of delivery of fabric, then products and liaising are factored in.
Here are just a few points for what you will get from our UK Based Manufacturing: High level of control over quality. Lower transportation costs. Better communication. Reduced delivery times.
