Equestrian Wear.

No Experience Needed.
You dont need any experience of the fashion industry, or an ability to sketch. All you need in order to start an equestrian brand are your ideas, a little determination, and some expert help. We can provide as much, or as little of that help as you need.
We are not saying that you should be reckless and throw your money away, or fund your business through credit card borrowing, as many new fashion entrepreneurs do.
The London Pattern Cutter was formed in 1984 in order to provide new fashion businesses and designers with an affordable one-stop solution to bring their designs to life.
We can help you with every stage of bringing your designs to life. Just bring us your ideas and we will do the rest. And we can produce your designs in very small quantities, with no MOQ.
Made In London.
London is one of the most exciting places in the world to start a new clothing brand. The UK capital is a world centre for fashion design and related fashion business services.
World leading fashion designers are located all round London – The West End, The East End, Shoreditch, Chelsea, Knightsbridge, South Kensington, Brick Lane.
There is no shortage of highly skilled pattern cutters, designers, graders, garment techs or printers. Half of all UK fashion jobs are located in London. And no shortage of high end clothing factories.
The difficulty for the startup fashion brand is that there are also plenty of unskilled people and very poor factories out there too. The big clothing brands tend to hoover up the talent, so it is increasingly hard to find skilled professionals, high end factories, and suppliers willing to deal with small brands and small orders.
Other Sources Of Inspiration.
As well as reference garments, it is useful to keep other sources of inspiration, such as images, colours, fabrics, and textures. If you are not a designer, you would be advised to bring all your reference garments and sources for inspiration to a professional designer – Preferably someone who is experienced in sportswear and functional wear.
Sketches.
Some people are better at sketches than others, but even a poor sketch provides some valuable information. If you need a hand, then we can do the sketches and technical drawings for you, or teach you how to do it yourself.
Tech Packs.
Whether you are manufacturing in the UK, or abroad, it is important to produce a tech pack. This is an important blueprint for your design. Because equestrian garments are technical garments rather than basic fashion, they need to be produced to an exacting standard.
If you are manufacturing abroad, it is doubly important that you have a professional tech-pack in order to ensure that your styles are made exactly as you want them to be.
in a market, or a pop-up shop. Still others may choose to sell through party planning.
