I am basically a very fashion conscious, shop-a-holic mom of three with good taste, a knack for design , picking out quality materials (and no natural talent what-so-ever for sewing, although I am thinking of taking a class)...I'm having multiple samples of my original designs sewn and having faith that all will go well. Have started with a limited few to ensure the quality of the work before investing heavily into the sewing expenses.
I've ordered some high quality, boutique style specialty fabrics from abraod (got a good deal) and am considering doing trunk shows with the samples 8) to test the waters or researching the possibility of placing the garments in a pre-established privately owned boutique and providing the owner with a percentage, (unsure of how doable this concept is)...just exploring all avenues...any suggestions at all from anyone with inside knowledge or innovative business know-how is greatly appreciated.
My goal is to create one-of-a-kind or few-of-a-kind hip trends that children love to wear and moms love to buy, clothing in colours and designs that make passerby's smile, using quality materials and fabrics...upscale but not ridiculously absurd on price, won't be outdoor market fare but will be quality and value for (a reasonable) amount of money.
And absolutely NOTHING in t-shirt material, displaying any Disney, Nicktoon, Bunny, or Asian Cartoon character or anything that could possibly be mass produced. Very specialty niche~and eyecatching fashions.
Have searched high and low and what I am talking about does not exist in Singapore...(which is hopefully an advantage)...
