Yes! We can launch your layette, childrenswear, teen, women's, men's, mommy and me, and daddy and me apparel lines within every product category, including swimwear, athleisure, women's and men's separates, sportswear, and the list goes on and on.

Yes. Every business start-up should have a business plan in place when launching their apparel brand. Our fashion focused business plan is included in our signature launch program and is designed specifically with the emerging fashion brand in mind. It is fun and easy with our template style format and detailed instructions. We also provide you with a mock-up example to use as a guide as you are completing your business plan and the Launch Your Collection founder will review it and make recommendations.
When you sign up for our launch program, you will gain access to all of our insider resources, from the best fabric, trim, sample maker and factory resources in the country -- and, in some cases, the same ones that are used by our top fashion designers, like Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger, and Oscar de la Renta. However, we'll be managing the process for you for your first launch, so you can sit back, relax, and watch how seamlessly the launch process unfolds.
Yes we do. We have worked with clients who are internationally based, but we only work with U.S. based fabric vendors and mostly U.S. based factories, so you will incur international FedEx charges in order to review fabric swatches and samples and to receive your finalized production order.
We specialize in apparel brand launches only at this time. However, we are happy to provide you with logo and website design.

We create all of our client websites using the Wix. Its drag and drop feature allows for easy maintenance once the website goes live and is turned back over to the client. It also has the best built-in tools that help automate different processes that are integral to any fashion start-up.
Yes. Your domain name and hosting service must be purchased by the client and can be done through Wix. Once you book your website project, we will happily walk you through the process.
Client may wish to have Launch Your Collection conduct your domain name search for an additional $29, but once the domain name is confirmed, it must be registered and paid for by the client.
In terms of hosting your website, Wix offers a variety of payment plans that you can choose from. We will provide you with our recommendation to help you narrow down your options.
Please note: Launch Your Collection LLC is not responsible for server downtime, email issues, software issues or any other compatibility issues that may arise after the launch of the site.
Yes! You can choose an already existing template that we can custom design from or we can start from scratch and create a truly customized design for you.
Yes! All of our custom design websites include an e-commerce store with unlimited products. Our website fee includes up to 10 styles, but if your collection features more than 10 styles, we can add your remaining styles for an additional fee.
Custom website design projects take anywhere from 6-12 weeks, but are contingent upon your timely communication through each phase of the process.
Typically we ask for full payment upfront and many of our clients prefer to not interrup the process. However, we also offer a payment plan in which we require a 50% deposit to kick-off your project and will invoice you the balance once we are at a halfway point. Our payment plan option does not carry any interest or fees of any kind.
No. Once your website is live, we will provide you with a link for how to easily learn how to use Wix for any updates you need to make and for any future maintenance needs. One of the best features of the Wix editor is its easy drag-and-drop feature, which allow for seamless changes, edits, and updates.
Yes we do! We have two different custom logo design (javascript:void(0))packages and a custom e-commerce website design (javascript:void(0))package. We also offer custom email signature and business card design.

At Launch Your Collection, we understand the importance of crafting a memorable, authentic brand story that is communicated to your customers cohesively through your brand, website, and social media design.

No - not at all! We can't wait for you to join our launch program so you can see how the design process works.
Yes! In our signature launch program, we go through an entire fashion design process that includes a design brainstorm session. During the brainstorm, we discuss your design concepts and we offer expert advice for how to put your first capsule collection together.
No. Using our advanced technologies, you can launch your apparel brand from the comfort of your home! If you prefer to make visits, we can arrange that for you and in most cases, it can be accommodated.
Yes we do! It is one of the most challenging steps in the launch process and we partner only with factories who are emerging fashion brand friendly and carry minimums as low as 50 units per style, so they can provide small batch production for when you first launch and they can also provide you with large scale production as you grow and scale.
We have factory partners who are based in the U.S. and overseas. If it is important to you to have a MADE IN THE USA apparel label, we will concentrate on outreach to only U.S. based factories. We are happy to be able to provide our clients with the option to manufacture in the U.S. or overseas depending on their preference and typically provide quotes from both overseas and domestic vendors so our clients can review the differences and make a more educated decision for their best factory partner.
