Chief Technical Designer at Bespoke Manufacturing Company - Phoenix, Arizona, United States
Bespoke Manufacturing Company has created a way to make on-demand apparelmanufacturing sustainable, scalable, and profitable.The USA will always have difficulty competing against foreignlabor costs. To compete effectively we must offer brands what offshorecannot by:• Reducing or eliminating inventory• Personalizing each garment• Making it fit using "made to measure" (MTM)• Shipping it within hours of receiving the orderInventory is the biggest single reason that brands fail. Product cycles are long,sometimes over a year. Capital is tied up for long periods of time in the hope thatproducts will sell according to projections. This time gap makes sales and inventoryprojections impossible to predict with accuracy. The result is an enormous waste in timeand money and an increased risk.The volatile nature of the fashion industry makes it difficult to have the right inventory, inthe right size, in the right color, at the right time impossible. The BMC model changesthe paradigm of:Make it/hope it sells to Sell it/then make itBMC is an ideal manufacturing partner for any size apparel brand that strives toreshape its supply chain or develop disruptive business models. In conjunction with ourbusiness partner iCreate.fashion there is a clear path for small and large brands toeasily migrate from long runs to on-demand.
