Fashion Design and Sourcing Supported by Market Segment Data
Over the last 10-15 years, the landscape of Fashion Design and Sourcing has transformed significantly due to the rise of eCommerce. Unlike traditional fashion brands, eCommerce customers demand a wide variety of designs, styles, and colors in small MOQs tailored to their specific markets. However, many suppliers, especially from China, are not well-versed in the needs of eCommerce businesses in the EU and US, resulting in missed opportunities for both suppliers and customers.
Our design & sourcing services, backed by market segment data analysis, address this gap. By providing a comprehensive product guideline, we facilitate seamless eCommerce solutions for customers in Europe and the USA.
