Material Review
vendor info, Material specs, labels & tags
The Design process continues by onboarding all necessary information about your brand’s chosen materials. Just like the Brand Review, this phase is driven by conversation between you and our team.
This stage looks different for every brand we work with. Some brands have their own vendor connections and materials already in mind; their version of the Material Review stage involves our team documenting the specifics of those existing materials and vendor information.
Material Sourcing services
We offer material sourcing services for those designers and brands who may need more specialized assistance. Material sourcing conversations overlap with the Collection Review. During your Collection Review, we’ll take careful notes on what textures, fibers, and functions you’re looking for in each material. From there, a member of our team begins connecting with our vendor contacts to find the perfect array of swatches and samples for you to choose from.
Labels & Tags
This element of your Material Review is more fun than you might think. Labels and tags are how you make a first and lasting impression on your customers. Labels offer a little “hello” - plus all they’ll need to know about your product, like the fiber content, care instructions, size and place of origin (can you say Made in LA!).
We offer a curated selection of labels and tags to help you make the right choices for your brand. We keep the sizes simple so you can focus on customizations and branding.
We are happy to service specialized orders for an additional cost - like this hangtag made with plantable wildflower seed paper for our in-house clothing brand Barbra Lorain.
After a quick chat with our Research Coordinator Zel, you’ll receive mock-ups of your brand’s labels and tags!
