Pearler

Pearler specializes in high-quality clothing, targeting men aged 30 and above, with a focus on comfortability and perfect fit. Tim reached out to RESOURCE  to enhance the efficiency of his product development and production. Tim made a visit to the RESOURCE China office in Guangzhou in 2023, and was impressed by the organized sampling room and wide selection of fabric available in the market nearby.

Challenge

Tim faced significant challenges in the traditional fashion industry, with extended production timelines and delays in shipments from existing manufacturers. The conventional model involved prolonged sampling processes, making it challenging to adapt to market demands swiftly. Tim was concerned about the impact of delays on the holiday sales season and the risk associated with ordering large quantities (MOQ) from other manufacturers.


TDLR:

  • High MOQ from existing manufacturers

  • Delays in production

  • Prolonged tampling time
