How Much Does It Cost To Start Swimwear Line

How Much Does It Cost To Start A Swimwear line ? 

The very minimum amount you need to start a swimwear line in the UK  is around £2000. But realistically you will need £5000 plus. For most swimwear startup brands it is important to start slowly, with a small collection and minimum quantities.

While it can cost many thousands of pounds for a startup  swimwear label, it can be done relatively cheaply  with some careful budgeting, and by employing the right strategy.

Much of the initial cost involves the sample development, but if you ensure from the beginning that you have ownership of the patterns, that means that you can use those same patterns again, without having to pay for them again. You can also use those patterns to make further designs yourself.

Some factories will include the patterns in their overall price, but the patterns will be their property, rather than yours. Other factories allow you to pay separately for the patterns.

 

Make Your Own Patterns.

One way to cut costs is to learn how to make your own patterns. Swimwear is very specialised, but if you are making a number of designs based on the same basic shape it is possible to learn how to do some of the work yourself.

We offer one to one  swimwear pattern cutting classes in which you can create your own patterns alongside our swimwear pattern cutter experts.

It would not be feasible to teach an inexperienced sewing machinist how to make swimwear garments, but an experienced sewer could maybe learn.

The Importance Of Limiting Spending.

There is virtually no limit to how much money you can spend in starting a swimwear label. But it is tremendously important for small brands to severely limit how much they are prepared to put into their business initially.

The big corporates can afford to put huge amounts of money  into their business ventures. They  can afford to employ the very best in every position, so are almost guaranteed to succeed whatever they do.

Many top designers, financed by big corporations will waste money left, right, and centre. And yet they will still succeed, as they generally employ enough experts to guarantee their success.

Being restricted in your spending is a good thing for a fashion startup. The discipline it ensures is invaluable. We try to encourage our clients to spend wisely.

Spending wisely does not necessarily  mean spending less. There are many areas in which you can easily save money, but there are other areas where it is more cost effective to spend more.

How Much Can You Afford ?

Firstly, you need to ask yourself how much you can afford to spend. It is important to keep your budget in check.

It is normally not worth borrowing money in order to get your brand off the ground.

How Many Designs Do You Have ? 

Secondly, you need to decide how many designs you would like to create. Unlike the big high street brands, a small startup brand  needs to manufacture all the designs that they sample.

 

Startup Packages.

We offer two special packages for anyone wanting information on how to start a  swimwear brand. These packages contain everything that you need to get  started on your first collection.

We will create everything you need in order to develop your styles. In the case of swimwear, one style would be either a swimsuit or a bikini.

These packages  provide a safe environment in which to develop your styles, side by side with very experienced fashion professionals. In this way you learn how the process of developing your styles works in practise.

If you were to take a fashion startup course anywhere, it would probably cost you considerably more just to learn how to do what we are doing in practise.

Swimwear Startup Workshop.

We run a very popular swimwear startup workshop for anyone interested in setting up and running a swimwear brand.

 

Online Video Course.

We have created an online video course for anyone interested in how to start a fashion brand in the UK.  The course consists of nineteen chapters. It is available to download to study from home  in your own time. Just email for details.

This online video course was created by senior fashion business adviser,  designer, and entrepreneur, Emile Vidal Carr. He has  over twenty years  experience in the fashion industry, running his own businesses and helping UK startups. He is also author of  The Fashion Formula.

How Much Does The Video Course  Cost ?

The online video course on how to start a fashion brand costs £200 for all nineteen  chapters. Or less than half price using the code  LPC 24 – Just £99 for all nineteen chapters.
