How a UK Streetwear Brand Scaled from 200 to 5,000 Units

Challenge

A London-based streetwear brand was producing 100 units per drop with a local printer but couldn’t scale beyond that without sacrificing quality or margins. They needed a manufacturing partner who could handle growth.

Solution

We started with a 200-unit sample order of heavyweight hoodies. After perfecting the fit and print quality, we scaled to 1,000 units in the second order, then 3,000, and now produce 5,000+ units per release across hoodies, tees, and joggers.

Launching a Fitness Brand from Scratch — From Concept to 1,000 Units

Challenge

A first-time entrepreneur in Australia wanted to launch a gym wear brand but had no tech packs, no fabric knowledge, and no manufacturing contacts. They needed end-to-end support from concept to finished product.

Solution

Our design team developed tech packs from reference images. We sourced moisture-wicking performance fabric, created 3 rounds of samples, and produced 1,000 units across 5 styles — joggers, shorts, tees, tanks, and hoodies — all with sublimation branding.
