Starting a clothing brand: going through all of our startup costs so far

hoping to provide a bit of cost transparency for any up and coming clothing and fashion founder. when I first started my main question was, how much do I need to do this? and felt like I found no videos on that topic, so I wanted to help someone who’s thinking of starting. so here’s a breakdown of all of our costs so far. this is obviously different for everyone depending on what feels best for you in regard to investment and investment priority. we personally really wanted to prioritize a technical designer for full design development as we didn’t feel comfortable that we knew how to approach manufacturing on our own. we highly recommend @Candice Stokes Designs who’s just an expert at what she does and so so helpful! we hired her around 9 months ago and she gave us a really good discount - we’re so grateful! as I mentioned, these aren’t all of our costs but just our costs so far. I’m sharing the full journey of starting our brand! if you have any questions I’d love to help any way I can :) #startingaclothingbrand #startingabusiness #entrepreneurship #businesstiktok #startup
