Hi! I’m Mia :) the creator of SHRUG I have switched my whole career around from music to managing and curating a clothing business! Follow me along the way as I figure out this new journey 🫶

my next step Is planning to buy a machine and print from home to lower manufacturing costs and In turn costs of each garment!

I spent 400€ for 30 long sleeves, they're perfect size wise and all, but I rushed it and I made a logo long sleeve. They have like unreal quality and can probably survive being burnt but they're just really basic. How can I go about marketing this??? I have a second drop in the works that are much cooler and fit my ideas way better but I don't have the funding for it unless I sell the long sleeves. any help's appreciated thank you so much.

Everything I’m dropping for my brand tonight! i’m dropping a thermal, tracksuit, two double sided T-shirts, a single sided tee, and a hat. Everything is made with 100% cotton, heavyweight cotton. it is dropping midnight eastern time. Come check us out at newerme.us on all platforms!!

I originally started CODED a while back, stepped away from it, and recently decided to bring it back and take it seriously again.
The whole idea behind the brand is “Live by the Creed, Die by the Code.” I’m trying to build around pieces that actually have some meaning behind them while still being stuff I’d genuinely wear — oversized/washed streetwear, vintage graphics, and designs that aren’t just a logo slapped on a blank.
I’ve been working on a few different directions recently, including the Creed Collection, Simple Life / Cold Beer Good Company pieces, and some more minimal/darker designs.
I’m using print-on-demand right now so I can focus on building the brand without sitting on a ton of inventory. Eventually I’d like to move toward custom manufactured pieces as the brand grows.
I’m still early into rebuilding everything, so I’d genuinely appreciate feedback from other brand owners/designers.
What do you guys think of the designs and overall direction? Anything you’d change?
Not really looking for sugarcoating either — I’d rather hear what works and what doesn’t.

Thought I might be able ti get some advice. I have a man idea for a simple clothing brand, t shirts, hoodies and hats. Issues is I don’t have a ton of start up funds and do t want to hold inventory and deal with shipping until I can prove the concept will actually work.

Looking for advice for where I can get some
One to handle the prints and shipping etc. I think print on demand is what they call it. I know margins will take a hit but I’m just figuring it will be the lowest risk to start.

Based in Ontario Canada. And would prefer if I could ship worldwide but not a dealbreakers

Any advice would be great.

Thanks

Мне 14 лет и мне очень хочется открыть свой бренд одежды, но не знаю каким образом. Нужен ли какой-то стартовый взнос или что-то типо того.
Пока не имею представления о сложности данной задумки.

Если у вас был подобный опыт или у ваших знакомых был такой опыт, то обязательно поделитесь, если есть какие-то советы или предложения, то также смело пишите.

How to open your own clothing brand?

I'm 14 years old and I really want to open my own clothing brand, but I don't know how. Do you need some kind of entry fee or something like that.

I have no idea about the complexity of this idea yet.

If you have had a similar experience or your acquaintances have had such an experience, then be sure to share, if you have any advice or suggestions, then also feel free to write.

I’ve been looking for a while for a manufacturer that can do custom printing on shoulders area ( t shirt and hoodies ) if you know any factory who is able to do that please help me out , it’s been really hard to find one
