Our Cost Breakdown
As a new business striving for transparency in the fashion industry, our goal is to inform the customer about the true costs involved in the garment production process. While a typical retailer marks up their items up to 5x of the production costs, by bypassing traditional distribution channels and selling directly to the consumer, we are able to offer our products at only 2x markup.
All of our garments are manufactured domestically on a small scale using highly skilled labor and involving the use of high quality materials. For example, the costs of producing the Purple Silk Cocktail Dress are as follows:
Labor - $110
Fabric - $70
Trim - $3
Labels, tags and packaging - $6
Our Price vs. Traditional
A traditional retail price of the dress, using 4x markup of the true production cost of $179, would be $704. By selling directly to the consumer, we allow our customers to purchase the dress at a price much closer to its true production cost, ensuring that our customers receive the highest quality product at a reasonable price.
