Launch Studio, twenty minutes from Leeds

Launching a clothing brand in Leeds

We are twenty minutes from Leeds city centre, in Bradford, and a good number of the brands we make for are Leeds based.

We take founders from first sample to first sale. Premium garments, your own woven neck labels, decorated, relabelled and finished, bagged ready to sell. From 25 garments, in four to six weeks from artwork approval.

Close enough that you can come and handle the fabric before you commit to anything.

Why Leeds founders come to us

We are twenty minutes away

That sounds like a small thing until you are choosing between a supplier you can visit and a website. Weight, handle and finish are the three things you cannot judge from a photograph, and every founder who has driven over has changed their mind about at least one of them.

We work at the quantity you are actually at

Overseas cut and sew starts at 100 per style per colour. We start at 25. That is the difference between finding out what sells and betting your savings on a guess.

Four to six weeks, not three months

From artwork approval to delivery. Woven labels take 7 to 10 working days and run alongside production, and reorders take the same time as the first run.

Your name goes in the neck

Not the supplier’s. That is the whole point, and it is the thing most new brands skip.

What we do

Garment sourcing
Premium blanks from Stanley/Stella, Native Spirit and AS Colour, plus caps from Beechfield, Yupoong and Flexfit. Organic and recycled cotton, weights from 155gsm to 500gsm.
Decoration
Screen print, DTF and embroidery. Spot colour with a base white included as standard, every job specified and checked to our standard.
Your own label
Supplier label removed, your woven label stitched in. Printed care labels and swing tickets.
Finishing
Bagged, tagged and packed, ready to go straight to your customers or your stockists.

One supplier, one invoice, one point of contact.

The ranges, with every style code and weight, are on the garments page. The finishing, from label folds to bagging, is on the own label page, and the five steps from artwork to delivery are on how it works. Founders coming from Manchester or looking for the Bradford unit itself have their own pages.

Getting here from Leeds

  • Straight down the A647, or the M62 and up, depending on where you start. Parking on site.

Worth the trip if you are serious about the garments. We will have the ranges out, the label and swing ticket options on the table, and you can decide with everything in front of you.
