HELP NEEDED wishing to start my own clothing brand

[coby foster]

Hi basically I'm wanting to start my own clothing brand and needed some ideas and I'm pretty new to this all and was wondering if there's anything I should look out for

First things first. Identify a gap in the market, what could you provide that isn't out there at the moment? What's your niche?

designed a few t-shirts hoping to get some samples out soon

What is your target market?

What platforms are you going to use to sell your products?

Have you got your brand registered and your website ready?

Have you received quotations and minimum order quantities from factories for your products?

Have you got your labeling confirmed?

What is your initial budget for this project?

Do you have any experience in the products you want to sell?

I can't recommend these books enough:

How to launch a Kick-Ass T-Shirt Brand

I'm a few months away from launching and only wish I'd read these years ago. They'll probably answer all the questions you have, link you onto further resources, and make sure you get off to the best start possible. Sure, we can just jump into it – that's what I was about to do even after stacks of planning, research etc but the advice from people who've done it, what works, what doesn't etc can save a lot of costly mistakes and ultimately ruining something with potential. Good luck with it!

if you can sell you can start the brand as soon as possible. further lots of sourcing companies do all your expert work by own and you need to be focused on marketing and know the art of selling.
