🚨 I built a FREE vault with 274 clothing factories, my tech pack template, launch cost guide and AI guides. Everything I wish I had when I started my brand: https://free.risewisebrands.com So... How do you find a clothing manufacturer you can actually trust? In this video I walk through the way I find factories for my own brand and the brands I help launch. Joel Perna is the founder of Slouch Potato, a loungewear and pyjama brand designed in Melbourne, and RiseWise, where he helps people launch and grow their own clothing brands. In this video he breaks down how he finds a factory the proper way, and the mistakes that cost new brand owners money, time and quality before they've even launched. We look at where to actually look for clothing factories, how to tell a good manufacturer from a bad one, and what to check before you pay for samples or place your first order. If you're starting a clothing brand and don't know where your first production run is coming from, this shows you how to find the right factory without guessing. Subscribe for weekly clothing brand breakdowns, and let me know in the comments where you're stuck with finding your manufacturer.
