Looking for someone to help with sampling in the UK!

Hi everyone, I’m looking for someone based in the UK who can help me with sampling before I move on to bulk production.

For context, there are 4 designs and the fabric will be silk viscose with a silk lining. I already have the designs and tech packs ready, but need help with pattern cutting and producing the samples to test the fit, shape and sizing.

I also have the measurements, but would love some help finalising them across the three sizes I’ll be making.

Looking forward to hearing from you! Please only message if you’re based in the UK :)

Help with deciding sizes

Hi! I'm starting a brand which I want to try and keep as lean as possible for the first launch. The fit of the items will be between true to size and oversized.

Do you think it would be fine to only have sizes small - large for the first launch? The MOQ is also 50 per design across 4 designs so 200 units total for the first launch.

Please lemme know your thoughts!

Starting a brand and trying to decide the strategy

I am starting a brand and working on the content strategy and I am thinking about two options, but not sure which one to go with.

  1. 2-3 months before launch, I start producing founder-led content to help with building up a waiting list for when I actually do launch (I expect to launch early 2027)
  • During my research, I've found that for smaller brands, this would be the best part forward as my potential customers would feel like they are a part of the journey and story
  1. Starting now, I start a tiktok page where I show my personality and alongside regular content series, I also slowly (once a week) discuss the brand
  • In this way, people also see my personality outside of just starting the brand and I start building that following from now rather than waiting

My concerns:

  • I'm quite camera shy, so I'd be really putting myself out there
  • if I start posting now, I would have to stay consistent with posting myself as well, otherwise it could lead to mistrust

Any advice would be much appreciated! :)

Looking for a manufacturer for a sleepwear/loungewear brand

Hi everyone! I’m launching a sleepwear/loungewear brand and currently looking for a clothing manufacturer.

For context, there are 4 designs, with embroidery ranging from detailed to simple. Thread colours are minimal, but embroidery quality, thread quality, stitching, and finishing are all very important. The fabric will be cotton/natural fibres and needs to feel soft, premium, breathable and not see-through.

I am aiming for around 50 units per design, ranging from XS-XL.

I’m specifically looking for those:

  • experienced in women’s garments
  • experienced in embroidery 
  • who can do the whole end to end process: fabric sourcing, sampling, embroidery, cut-and-sew, finishing, labelling
  • low MOQs
  • strict quality control

I’d like to find a manufacturer based ideally in Lahore or Faisalabad. If you’re interested, please send me a DM with your company background, relevant experience, previous work/portfolio, MOQ, sampling process, lead times, and whether you have experience producing women’s cotton loungewear or embroidered garments. If you have an instagram link, it would be great if you could share that too.

Please don’t DM without the above! :)

Starting a loungewear/pyjama brand! Is it worth pursuing? (Women)

I’m about to start production on my first collection and I want to make sure I’m creating pyjamas that real people actually want to wear. That’s why I wanted to collect honest and constructive feedback before I begin and generally see market interest.

If you have 3–5 minutes, I’d really appreciate your thoughts on:

  • what you look for in pyjamas
  • which designs you prefer
  • fabric and comfort
  • price
  • and what would make you try a new brand

Every answer will help me shape the brand. I’d also love any advice or tips you’re willing to share.

Logo and Brand Design

Hi everyone, I’m looking for someone to design the logo and full brand identity for my new pyjama brand.

The brand is an elevated sleepwear brand inspired by desi heritage but designed for modern life. The vibe is warm, soft, cozy, elevated, minimal, and a little poetic. I want the branding to feel special and thoughtful, not overdone or too corporate.

I’m looking for help with:

  • Logo design
  • Brand colours
  • Font suggestions
  • Brand identity direction
  • Possibly a simple brand guide

The brand is about:

  • top-quality pyjamas,
  • unique silhouettes,
  • desi-inspired but modern design,
  • minimal sustainable packaging,
  • and a calm, luxurious feel.

If your style suits this kind of project, please message me with:

  • your portfolio,
  • your pricing,
  • your turnaround time,
  • and any previous branding work you’ve done for fashion or lifestyle brands.

Thank you!

• Your location in Pakistan
• Your experience with women’s clothing / sleepwear
• Any examples of previous work if available
