I’m Launching My Consultancy Service (After Years of Doing It Anyway)...
Let’s be real — launching a brand solo can feel a lot like trying to build a house with no tools, no blueprint, and a dusty YouTube tutorial from 2009.
That’s exactly why I've created this additional consultancy service: for founders who want to steer their own production, but secretly wish they had a hidden support crew for all the boring-but-vital stuff. Think critical paths, costing templates, sourcing, compliance, fulfilment… the bits that keep the wheels turning even when the dream is feeling messy.
And honestly? This isn’t some brand-new idea — it’s the exact support my full-package clients already get built into their projects. I just realised it was time to open that same level of guidance to founders who aren’t ready for (or don’t need) full production with us, but still deserve the structure and confidence it gives.
Here’s my promise: I won’t take over your brand — I’m not here to do it for you. Instead, I’ll hand you the structure, systems and support so you can run your business like a pro, avoid the typical start-up traps, and still stay in the driver’s seat.
What I Offer: A Consultancy Service Designed to Make Your Brand Launch Smooth
Got a head full of ideas but no clue where to start? Book an hour with me and we’ll get that dream out of your head and into a plan. Whether you just need to refine a concept or you’ve already got designs — either way, this session is all about giving you clarity and direction. And yes: if you’re already ready to go, I offer one hour free; but if you need that extra strategic boost I’m here for it (£200 + VAT — and totally worth it).
Consider this your brand’s production sat-nav. I’ll map out every step — from your first sketch to final delivery — so you always know what’s coming, when, and why. No more last-minute panic or missed sample deadlines. You’ll get a personalised timeline (with built-in buffers for the inevitable hiccups), so you stay on track and in control.
Pricing. Ugh. It’s where so many new brands trip up — undercharging, overcomplicating, or simply winging it. I’ll set you up with solid costing templates and margin tools so you can price your products confidently (yes — with profit, but also enough room to pay yourself). We walk through cost breakdowns, markups, retail strategy — all tailored to your product, audience, and ambition
Looking for the perfect organic cotton? Or maybe you dream of working with an artisan weaving co-op in India? I’ll help you figure out the who, where, and how. Honest advice on MOQ nightmares, quality pitfalls, and supplier red flags — and help you find the right fabric, trim, or production partner (obviously us!) to make your vision real (without losing your soul in the process).
Care labels, fibre content, regulations, modern-slavery statements — it can all feel like alphabet soup if you’re new. That’s where I step in. I’ll demystify compliance, help you set up ethical and legal practices that align with UK/EU standards (and your brand values), and give you the tools to build from integrity. Think of it as your ethical armour.
Because verbal promises don’t cut it when things go sideways. I’ll provide ready-to-use contract templates and show you how to implement them properly — including deposit terms, IP protection, delivery timelines, dispute resolution clauses. When everyone knows the rules, everything runs smoother.
QC systems that don’t just tick boxes — real tools that catch issues early. From pre-production checks to final inspections, I’ll help you build a robust QC process so you retain your standards (especially key if you’re working with handmade or artisan production, where the charm is in the craft but the flaws can cost you
Ex Works, FOB, DDP, CIF — shipping can sound like a different language. I’ll help you navigate freight, customs, taxes, Incoterms — whether you’re importing from abroad or fulfilling in the UK. I’ll make sure your logistics are as smooth as your designs. So nothing gets stuck in a port or ends up costing more than it should.
Why This Consultancy Exists: Because Fashion Isn’t Just Pretty — It’s Practical
I know launching a brand feels magical at first — full of creativity, colour, hope and ambition. But the magic doesn’t happen unless the practical bits are nailed down too.
That’s where I'll come in: the backstage pass to turning ideas into reality.
You don’t need me to run things for you. You just need me to help you run things well. So if you want to build a brand that doesn’t just look good — but works, sustainably, legally, and profitably — let’s talk.
Because your ideas deserve more than a dusty sketchbook or a half-finished spreadsheet. They deserve structure, clarity, strategy — and someone in your corner who’s done this more than once before.
