Most fashion waste starts long before a garment is sewn — it starts at the sourcing table.
Today we’re in London meeting fabric merchants, suppliers and showrooms as we begin developing a ready-to-wear collection alongside our direct-to-client bespoke work at Kalikas Armour. The goal is simple: translate the discipline of the atelier into a structured, limited-production range that can scale responsibly and still feel sculptural, ceremonial, and made with intention.
That means asking the unglamorous questions early:
We’re asking the unglamorous questions that change everything: What’s already sitting as deadstock? Can we source responsibly without overbuying? What are the real minimums, lead times and production realities? Can we build future traceability into the product from day one?
If you’re a UK manufacturer or supplier open to smaller MOQs + structured growth For Tailoring, Eveningwear and plant‑based leather alternatives, I’d love to connect.
What’s one question you think every brand should ask before they order fabric?
👇 Comment it — I’ll compile a “sourcing checklist” and share it.
If you care about how clothing is made, this is the work behind the work.
Fashion. Creativity. Culture. Community.
