We could not find the service and quality we needed to manufacture our own work in the UK. So we expanded to manufacture in-house. We now provide CMT, sampling, advice and short-run manufacturing to other designer and companies. With love woven into everything we do The Design and Sewing Studio gives you a direct relationship and quality control, ensuring the finished pieces perfectly represent your brand and advance your reputation. Read our guide to finding a UK manufacturer that is right for you here.

Take your designs to the next level. We are able to develop your pattern and make samples. The process of ensuring the pattern will deliver that you want in the final garment is crucial. We are able to see opportunities to achieve exactly what is in the designers mind in a collaborative process that delivers the vision without compromise. It is always a learning process, often one that allows rethinking and modifications to benefit manufacture and save costs.

We offer short-run manufacturing for high-end garments. We apply the same love, attention and skill to bring your brand and reputation to life. Because we struggled to find what we needed we now ensure it exists not only for us but for others who require their clothing to be made in England to exacting standards, with care and attention to detail. We offer transparent terms of service, as you would expect tailored to your individual needs and look to build lasting relationships that ensure we all flourish.

The Design and Sewing Studio offers a fully equipped shared design and workspace which you can access to create your own work. We offer support and training or you can work independently.
