YOUR STORY STARTS HERE.
There are three key stages to taking an idea and turning it into a successful clothing launch. Each stage can be overwhelming and time-consuming; especially if you are new to the industry or juggling the many other tasks that come with launching or running a business.
Demi will collaborate with you to manage each step, leaving you free to focus on other aspects of the journey, totally relaxed with the knowledge that the product development is being handled by a pro.
It’s as easy as 1, 2, 3…
STAGE 1:
DESIGN DEVELOPMENT
The first step is to decide on the products you’re planning on launching, whether it’s a one-off design or a full collection.
Demi will work with you to create a realistic, professional collection considering timelines, budgets and your brands ethos.

STAGE 2:
TECHNICAL PACKS
A Tech Pack contains all the technical parts of a design. One should be made for every design in your collection. It is used to handover designs to suppliers, track changes and for quality control right through to production.

STAGE 3: DEVELOPMENT & MANUFACTURE
This is where things get exciting! Development can be a lengthy process, and it’s where having an experienced Garment Tech on board can make all the difference! Demi will complete in depth handovers with recommended suppliers, followed by full fit and garment review sessions for all samples until you are ready to sign your design off for production. Daily chasing, test reviews, colour matching and admin are a necessity for Stage 3 to run smoothly - and it’s where Demi comes into her own!
