What were the challenges you were trying to solve when you looked for a manufacturer?

I needed to tick a few boxes. When I started looking, I began with the quality of the custom made garments.

I needed to be able to get my custom cut and sew pieces to come to life and not at the expense of what the local factories were charging.

Once I saw the custom cut and finishing did not meet the standards here , I knew I had to reach to someone overseas.

This meant I could sample from manufacturers to ensure quality while having full flexibility with my creative process.

What made you choose to work with MANNI?

Initially what made me reach out to Manni was the quality of their website and the proof of work. Other manufacturers just didn’t give me any reason to trust them.

Moving forward getting into contact with Donovan with my ideas and to see if it was going to be a good fit, gave me the full trust you look for with overseas manufacturers.

That’s when I decided to start the production of samples to see how they could piece together my designs and once I received back the samples, I knew this would be the time to make the full investment after working together through all the design challenges.

Everything was hitting the marks and the process just became streamlined from the initial sampling period.

Why do you think MANNI would be able to help you to achieve your vision?

The quality of work gives me the biggest hope for the future .

I didn’t go into this thinking that I was going to print on a couple of tees and call it a brand. I wanted more.

I wanted to provide a story and a feeling of connection as soon as they purchase from us.

That means having a quality product they can be willing to invest their hard-earned money into and still be happy to wear our hoodies after a decade.

And due to a low minimum compared to other manufacturers, we can grow alongside MANNI and continue to tell our brand’s story and provide a solution for the wardrobes of our customers.

How was your experience with MANNI?

MANNI gave us an advantage. I designed the first collection alongside MANNI and they helped create my vision from the samples I had sewn together.

They made it a streamlined process, and after sourcing and deciding on fabrics, I could dedicate my time to streamlining the website code and finishing the foundations of the business.

I’ve found that this was the only real way I could set the foundation too, I’m not sure if it would have really worked any other way.

Now that the foundation is so strong I feel confident in starting the next chapter and ready to take on the upcoming challenges alongside MANNI through our essential line.

Why do you think MANNI would be able to help you to achieve your vision?

As brand owner, I believe it’s a matter of consistency, quality, & open communication from not just the manufacturer, but from our creative director/designer “Michelle Sheri” and the XX Brand Family base as well.

Together in this circle of communication we bring many great creative pieces to the world. They go above & beyond to get our styles & samples they way we want them.

From their years of experience, they also give us suggestions & their own personal input on certain concerns that may come about before pieces are cut & sewn into a completed sample.

How was your experience with MANNI?

My experience with MANNI has been a positive one overall.

I think what’s great is that the team there work with you, like an extension of your own team, and will do some ‘hand-holding’ if needed.

This is especially useful if you’re a startup and aren’t sure what to do.

They also worked with me to add some unconventional elements to my collection, and made useful suggestions along the way to benefit me and my company.

The quality of the clothing is really good too, which always helps!
