A place for your
design point of view.

Original collection design and white-label sourcing are different routes. White-label options come from a vendor’s existing styles; availability, customisation, minimum quantities and exclusivity depend on the supplier’s terms.

A CLEAR SCOPE. A SHARED PROCESS.

Every thread has
its place.

Good collaboration begins
with knowing who does what.

DIFFERENT STARTING POINTS. A CLEAR WAY FORWARD.

Build a label.
Find your route.

Originality, development and production
need different kinds of support.

ORIGINAL COLLECTION / PRIVATE LABEL

A signature that’s yours.

Develop original designs for your own label, with the materials, print story and technical information your brief requires. Ownership, usage rights and confidentiality are agreed in writing.

Discuss original development ↗
WHITE-LABEL SOURCING / ADAPTATION

A considered starting point.

Explore whether a vendor’s existing styles can suit your label. We review available options, customisation, minimum quantities and finish. Availability and exclusivity depend on the supplier and agreement.

Explore a sourcing brief ↗

From campus to your own label. Fashion students and graduates can start with Blueprint or Capsule Design, then build towards a first sample. Manufacturers can commission design and print development for their own buyer briefs.

“what if” to “what’s next”.

02↗

Shape the direction

We coordinate the agreed next steps with suitable vendors, helping carry approved ideas towards production.

Design work is led by Thread’s Tale. Sampling and production are carried out by independent manufacturing and specialist partners.

The name. The whole story.
