Start A Lingerie Brand
Starting A Lingerie Business.
32. Starting any business, especially if you have very little experience of either running a business, or of the product you are providing, is really daunting.
If you are looking to start in ladies underwear through a specialist lingerie business, with no knowledge of the lingerie industry, it is especially daunting.
Where do you start ? Do you start with a business plan, or do you start with the designs ? Or do you source the fabrics before you create the designs ?
We believe that in order to learn how to start a new lingerie brand , you have to just start somewhere. Our most successful clients are those who just get on with it.
You cant possibly learn everything there is to learn about setting up and running a lingerie business without actually doing it. There is no short cut, so you have to just jump right in and learn as you go.
You do however need to work with experienced lingerie experts who can advise you, and provide the skills that you dont have, while you do the jobs that you are most able to do.
The important thing is knowing what your specific talents are, and knowing what you can do yourself, with maybe a little direction.
The lingerie startup workshop is a variation of our fashion startup workshop.It is an invaluable introduction to how to set up and run a lingerie business.

Our Clients.
Our clients come from a variety of backgrounds. Some are doctors, some are architects, some are firemen, and some are fitness instructors. But most have little or no experience of the clothing business, and no knowledge of the lingerie business.
The good news is that setting up and running a lingerie business is relatively easy. As it is a small niche area of fashion, it doesnt take much to learn the basics. You can learn remarkably quickly as you go.
How Much Does It Cost ?
Understandably, one of the most frequent questions we are asked about starting a lingerie business is “How much does it cost to start a lingerie brand ?”
As we deal mainly with startups on limited budgets, we are very conscious that we must keep the costs as low as is practicable for our clients.
This means initially designing a small capsule range with small production quantities, and teaching our clients how to do much of the work themselves.
Bra Making Course.
If you are interested in learning how to make a bra, we run bra making courses , both face to face, and online.
