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 two to three weeks.
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.
Two to three weeks, not three months
Order to delivery. Reorders on approved artwork come back in ten to fourteen days.
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 and Yupoong. Organic and recycled cotton, weights from 155gsm to 500gsm.
- Decoration
- Embroidery on Tajima machines, DTF, and automatic screen print in spot colour with a base white included. 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.
Getting here from Leeds
