A faire:

Demander à la zing. si on peut flasher un cadre.

Etablir le prix de mes sacs pour ensuite fixer un prix avec IL, en pensant que c'est 50/50.

Penser à la comm, photos (mathieu croizier?) penser a avoir un devis. Frais divisé av. inner light.

A qui on envois un sac ?

Une fois que j'ai un logo - faire un étiquette qui fusionne Inner Light et Kaiem.

A noter qu'il y aura 6 sacs gratuit: 4 pour inner light, 1 moi et 1 "influencer". Donc faudrait au moins 6-10 sacs à vendre.

Conditions de ma part:

Je garde les proto et m'occupe de la vente, shipping. Donc je m'occupe des paiement.

Hi Katarina,

So monday I talk with the girls and it was short but very nice! Thank you to link us!
I hope we'll stay in contact and I do think for sure that I'll talk more with Nina since she's doing all the garment herself, it's very motivating, I don't know how she doing it it's so much work the garment she propose :O

But It was very stimulating to talk to them because I saw that they work so much, so much more than me in question of living also, I'm quite confortable since I still have my parents behind me, so It also remind me that i'm very lucky in my case but it's kind of motivating to see what they do. Most of all that they are completely able to work on their brand and have a work in the side.

Also with nina I have a lot of questions, regarding the post pro helvetia coaching how is it etc..

I hope you enjoyed and learnt from the others during the mid-term presentations last week.
NEST STEPS
I have about 4hrs left for you: this can be about 3 calls + follow up.
Please let me know what you want to discus next so we use the time productively.
I would also suggest to leave one last session for later, once you start speaking to Michele and Damon.
You are connected to Romain - very excited to see the progress on brand, name and comms.
I would like to introduce you to Michele next to talk partnerships, connections and afterwards I will connect you to Damon.

When would you like two have next session?
I look forward hearing from you.

Dear katarina,
Ah wow, only 4 hours to go! Ok so I guess I can work on a few things before we meet. I'm in Paris until Sunday and I didn't bring my computer with me so would it be ok for you if we meet next Thursday or Friday (April 13-14)?

So I can also prepare what I have to do for Roman and I can show you. Also, I'm seeing the designer on Wednesday so I can talk to you about it too.

I realised that I hadn't sent the pictures of the prototype of the wider collar, so I'm adding them to padlet now. It's not bad but I remember to keep the width not too wide because when the collar is "loose", if it's too big, it doesn't look very good. I'm testing a width in between next week.

Next week I'd like to try and show you a finished prototype of a skirt if I can. I have quite a few bags to make before Milan for people who want to wear them there! (I have 5 to do). It can be a good "publicity".

I also had to stop the orders in order to be able to breathe and not be late as I'm also going to Milan (I hope we'll meet there, emma invited me to the opening on the 17th, will you be there?) and on the 19th I'm going to Schoeller's to buy new textiles so I also told them that it was worth waiting to see the new fabrics

Have a nice day :)

Drawn to handcrafted, quality items made by real artists with generations of experience, her aim was to combine innovation with local skills and heritage. And after studying Accessories Design at London College of Fashion, and finding one of the last bag-makers in East London, the first BEEN London bag launched on Kickstarter.

A story of collaboration from start to finish, BEEN London is the result of so many peer conversations about design, development and hundreds of people's financial pledges. From launching on Kickstarter and then SEEDRS in 2020, we've received a lot of customer feedback along the way and wouldn't be where we are today without our incredible community.

(because I don't want to put my exact name)

kaiem because it's my name in my personal account of instagram since forever... it's kim but spelled out, same for lissy.

I think I might like kaiem because there is a kind of beauty for the letter "e" and "a" which can be really interesting when the graphic designer try some logos...

Hi Kim,

Looking at your brainstorm and names you like, there couple of points.

- your current name, Pragmatic Gear, is very much a description rather than design brand name ...
- the names you like are either actual designer names or name that represent the universe, creative outlook ...sometimes bit of mystery

Based on this, some of my suggestions:

PRAGMATIC AFFAIR  ( by K.L.)
PRAGMATIC ELEMENTS

Based on your manifesto, I like MATERIALISM
FUTURE RECOVERY
F.A. DESIGN ( functional and aesthetic )

F by K.L. ( Functional )
The FABRICAPPAREL
THE MATERIALIST STUDIO

RESHUFFLE

Your presentation should showcase your concept, purpose / reason for it, market awareness, design, material and production/assembly details, ideal plans how to launch/ present and sell the product.

This is the first (mid- term presentation ), we don't expect it to be perfect and too "professional ". However it needs to have strong foundation you will build on and can use for future pitching, business plan and external presentation.

In near future, you will need to develop couple of variations of your presentations:
for funding, for further applications, for partnerships , ,manufacturers, marketing … the core information like the purpose, design and data must be the same but the rest has to be adjusted according to audience.

( anything from 30 second elevator pitch to grab industry's attention to detailed business presentation)

I’d recommend great online programs with templates and variations such www.canva.com  or whatever you are used to ( Keynote/ Slides…) that can be saved online and easily modified for variations.

To start this presentation

- go through previous proposal ( for Starting Power +)  to reflect what can you still use, what is still applicable/ relevant and what might have changed or needs to be updated.

In general,
Think WHAT, HOW and WHY

1. Title and "strap line”

2.  Inspiration/ "spark" + Context

3. Existing products / competitors - one page synthesised overview with key information ( like the basic chart template  but make it appealing and easily comprehensible )

4. Market positioning  ( example as well)

5. Data & numbers ; 1-3 pages that are convincing us of the need and purpose  for there product - material impact , environmental issues..etc Try to find strong facts and points why we need your product and what difference/ positive impact it can make.

5. Your design ( explain your journey - where you started and how you are improving and working on new prototypes  ); 1-2 pages

6. Materials and production + preliminary costing

7. Vision for the product  - explain how would you ideally like to see your product  presented, positioned

8. Sale strategies  - explain how would you like to sell your product - as a e-commerces only, in concept stores, more collars ...etc. This is particularly helpful for our other colleagues who will be helping you further down the like ( Damon on business, Michel on partnerships ...)
9. Aims & Objectives for next 6 months

+ also include page on what what you learnt so far since the beginning on the programme , realising the strengths and weakness of the projects ( you) and what you want to achieve! Make it personal and engaging

* some of these can be re-arranged to create your own flow but it has have a threat, think storytelling to get us on board to believe in your vision!

# data[].attributes.body
Once you synthesise your competitor overview, you can create this map. Here is a simple example.
You need to identify 2 points on the spectrum which should arise from your research above.
I assume price ( from low to high ) and possibly functionality to fashion ...
Create basic map with the " cross" in the middle  and place logos of all competitors accordingly.
Then decide where you  should be or like to be.

# data[].attributes.body
Please summarise the top 5-7 brands on EU the market that are the most similar and why. ( From Ottolenghi to Raeburn ...plus the ones you have already identify) Please see an example above. This can be done much more visual but must be comprehensive

Textile waste : statistics and resources 

# data[].attributes.subject
Textile waste : statistics and resources 

# data[].attributes.body
It is famously difficult to determine  much textiles and garments are really produced annually. This is largely due to the fact that brands do not want to disclose this. And the common practice of burning textiles and garments rather than recycling or archiving...

However, we are trying to work with some points:

the number we have been using that over 120 billion garments are products every year worldwide ( in reality this is likely to be much higher )

The linear system and mass production set up means we create up to 30% waste pre- retail ( cutting floor waste and garments not ever sold ) from all production

It has bee established that about 95% of all textiles and garments CAN be recycled, however, only barely 1% is, worldwide!

https://www.fashionrevolution.org/waste-is-it-really-in-fashion/

https://ellenmacarthurfoundation.org/a-new-textiles-economy

https://ellenmacarthurfoundation.org/fashion-and-the-circular-economy-deep-dive

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Since the 20th century, clothing has increasingly been considered as disposable, and the industry has become highly globalised, with garments often designed in one country, manufactured in another, and sold worldwide at an ever-increasing pace. This trend has been further accentuated over the past 15 years by rising demand from a growing middle class across the globe with higher disposable income, and the emergence of the 'fast fashion' phenomenon, leading to a doubling in production over the same period.

The time has come to transition to a textile system that delivers better economic, societal, and environmental outcomes. The report A new textiles economy: Redesigning fashion's future outlines a vision and sets out ambitions and actions - based on the principles of a circular economy circular economy A systems solution framework that tackles global challenges like climate change, biodiversity loss, waste, and pollution. It is based on three principles, driven by design: eliminate waste and pollution, circulate products and materials (at their highest value), and regenerate nature. - to design out negative impacts and capture a USD 500 billion economic opportunity by truly transforming the way clothes are designed, sold, and used.

Beyond laudable ongoing efforts, a new system for the textiles economy is needed and this report proposes a vision aligned with circular economy principles. In such a model, clothes, fabric, and fibres re-enter the economy after use and never end up as waste. Achieving a new textiles economy will demand unprecedented levels of alignment. A system-level change approach is required and one which will capture the opportunities missed by the current linear textiles system.

To quote this report, please use the following reference: Ellen MacArthur Foundation, A new textiles economy: Redesigning fashion's future (2017).

Hi Katarina,
Hope your trip goes well.

I was wondering, do we see each other again before the 30th?

(BAG PRICE + SHIPPING)

I was thinking:
Maybe before changing the prices, I should be in contact with the manufacturer to see how much it would cost if I make produce the bags. Because if it's possible to maybe produce the bags this summer, it's not worth to change the price now, because I would change the prices for sure if it's for exemple Punto 301 who will produce the bags. But maybe not, I don't know.

What do you think? (if you understood what I mean)

If I change anyway the prices:

Tell me what you think of the prices. I think it would be necessary to round up in some way. Is it worthwhile to differentiate between 6 and 12 francs per metre?  Couldn't I count everything at 12 francs per metre? This could "cover" the transport to pick them up. What do you think?

RENT
- you should aim to cover studio rent with  current bag sales ( drive to get them done ASAP to have cash; I will check with Helen); using Pro- Helvetia grant  for testing, research , prototyping, shoot, legal and business set-up  cost like website domain ...etc ( next call)

TO DO PLAN

research 10 - 15 brands, designers, collectives, initiatives ..( variety ) with similar concept approach, manifesto, product ... in Switzerland, EU, world.

create a chart with as many points as you can ( location ,when founded, history, size of company, USP, price points, wow factor, start selling its, sustainability, business model, social media research...)

Identify top 3 brands/ designers you admire/ aspire to most, want to be like.

Experience them as costumer: purchase product, interact, take the product apart, analyse communication, packing, shipping. Try to find someone who are not conventional and you are curious about ... maybe one for similar product, another for unique production like pre-order/ custom- made, it doesn't have to be fashion product , perhaps cosmetics, jewellery ...etc

Brand name and identity

reflect what you want to be and what not

reflect on the name

what is your USP?

try to define 2-3 sentence statement/ mini manifesto

Here is where I work.
I go every Saturday, Sunday and Monday to produce the bags.

We are 5 now, Tania(graphic designer), Léon(also from the programme), Emma(also from the programme) and Yann(industrial designer).

I don't think I'm missing something, I have my sewing machine, I have enough place for myself, it's really nice.
(I mean of course it would be perfect if I can have another table but it's really a detail.)

Some of my textiles are rolled up, others in a crate and also on a rack.

I still have to set up a mini "studio photo". I was thinking to put a little shelf on the wall with a white paper roll, so I can put the bag on and take pictures of the bags that I just did.

I paid the first month 152 CHF but now that we have Yann it will cost 120 CHF/month. (I would like to pay this workshop with the grant of the starting power programme, do you think it's ok?)

Best app I've used

I do all the stuff for my local garden centres website and trying to find stock photos for free is so hard. I tried a number of different apps and also photo shop, but they were either very poor or just to time consuming. Pixelcut however has sorted all my problems. It's so easy and all the different features are brilliant. I don't need stock photos anymore, as mine are so good, plus theres no hidden secrets, you take a photo, spruce it up and it's yours to use without risk of copyright infringements. Would highly recommend for anyone wanting to take there websites images to a professional level without breaking the bank. ANYONE CAN DO IT!!

Update:

The new features are brilliant! Just so easy to use and navigate!

It really works well, and gets good results

OK, it works well and runs just as fast on my 2 year old iPad Pro and iPhone 12. By "works well", I mean it removes backgrounds incredibly well, and then lets you add your own new background just as easily. Given 30 minutes mucking around with it, I found myself becoming quite productive.

The workflow is quite sensible once you get your head around how it works, but something this powerful is always going to mean you need to have a little patience to get the best out of it.

There are some clever little additions, I like "collections": a way of organising your photos. This is especially important to me when doing a lot of product photography in batch for our website.

For the fee, it saves a huge amount of time in other apps such as gimp to cut out backgrounds, and I think the fee reflects the effort that's gone in to the user interface and heavy lifting in the background.

Extras I'd like to see: a way of sizing for Wordpress - getting your pictures just the right size can have a big impact on the speed your e-commerce runs (on this platform of course).

Definitely worth the money.

Absolutely brilliant app

Absolutely brilliant app, I use it for all my work however I wish there was a few more added features like the copy and paste feature so I could copy an item from one slide and add it to another Slide and I really wish it had the line feature so if you have multiple images I need like to align them I wish it had that feature and maybe a group feature but other than that it's absolutely fantastic app to use one of the best out there The layout and the features are so easy to use!!

Always check who is liking your photos, who is the new follower - look at the profile, see their bio, their website if any
Individuals could be also important not just "brands" .
It should be a mix of media, platforms, influencers, muses, specific brands, so friends to help you re-share.

You must post and re-share with some consistency to work with IG algorithm and be seen by others outside your existing audience.
The key is consistency and building an "universe", an awareness via posts of your products, fabrics, details, style and stories! Re-share post that resonate with you so there the account is active. It is important to send at 20-30mins a day to actively think about this while not forcing it. It is a habit you need to build as it is your supertool that always you to connect with the world but needs to be more strategic.
Slowly but steady.
Sharing your bags is not enough either - you need to little context, lilt inside whit is special about them, about your approach... you can start with just key hashtags like #repurposed #zerowaste #circularbags ...

A contribution to a growing global circular design movement

Design decisions shape how we interact with the world around us, and creatives across every industry and demographic are embracing their role in reimagining products, services, and systems.

Insights from over 80 early circular design practitioners in fashion

They include established luxury brands -- Gucci and Vivienne Westwood, independent labels --Kevin Germanier and Marine Serre, high-street giants -- Gap and H&M, pioneers of the virtual fashion experience -- Alvanon and The Fabricant, and clothing resale and rental specialists -- thredUP and Vestiaire Collective.

While achieving a completely circular economy will take time, these practitioners have all started their journey. Their perspectives and insights have helped build a rich understanding of circular design and what it means for the fashion industry.

The gateway to a world of creativity

It seeks to ignite curiosity, giving the inspiration and encouragement to explore, learn, and cultivate a new design mindset.

It has been written in recognition of fashion's huge potential to move towards a circular economy and it's time had a radical transformation.

Each year millions of tonnes of clothes are produced, worn, and thrown away. Every second, the equivalent of a rubbish truck load of clothes is burnt or buried in landfill. The fashion industry is one of the major contributors of plastic microfibres entering our oceans. To solve the problem, we must reinvent fashion itself.

We've created a vision for the fashion industry to redesign the way clothes are made and used. Our vision will require industry and government to work together. It will need significant investment, large-scale innovation, transparency, and traceability. But if we take these actions together and get started today, this new system can scale fast.

Every second, the equivalent of a rubbish truck load of clothes is burnt or buried in landfill.

Our vision for a circular fashion industry

A circular economy for fashion creates better products and services for customers, contributes to a resilient and thriving fashion industry, and regenerates the environment. Together, we can build an industry that designs products to be used more, made to be made again and made from safe and recycled or renewable inputs.

The CNMI Sustainable Fashion Awards

Cementing circular design for fashion at the top of the Italian fashion industry's creative agenda. As part of the Foundation's continued Partnership with Camera Nazionale della Moda Italiana (CNMI), we are pleased to be collaborating on the CNMI Sustainable Fashion Awards in September 2023, for the second year running. These Awards celebrate the creatives driving an industry that is regenerative by design and recognise those leading the way in applying circular economy principles to their work. Through highlighting those redefining the future for the fashion industry, we hope to inspire creatives and designers everywhere to not only embrace their role in reimagining products, but also the services, and systems, that will deliver them and keep them in use - and to realise their potential in the transition to a circular economy.

Circular fashion examples

Toxin-free, recyclable clothing

Most high-performance jackets with waterproofing and insulation are made from an array of materials that are hard to separate and recycle. To overcome this problem, Italian clothing brand Napapijri has simplified its design so that the entire jacket - fabric, filling and trimmings - is manufactured from one polymer. The material is durable and high performing, but is also easily recycled.

Customers are encouraged to recycle their old jackets with the promise of a 20% discount off future purchases when they return their used garments.

This is a good start and there is no wrong answer necessarily :
You are thinking and responding as a brand.
Now try to also think about your own personal strengths and weaknesses.
Try to answer the the questions  on the template I sent in the email ( personal SWOT) as well.
For example :
I am able to adapt and quickly react to situations ( positive and negative) ..or I am scared of implementing some ideas, not confident in public speaking ...etc

This is helpful to understand for both of us and other coaches how you operate and how you identify the opportunities and threads in this process and project.

It is clear that fashion, designers and producers need to rethink textile production if we are to relieve pressures on our planet. It is not for us to contribute to the global textile volume by making new materials whilst perfectly good materials already exist, as leftover inventory. Alexander Taylor

Cost
15 LABELS = 100 CHF
1 LABEL = 6,67 CHF

I have friends make my labels, they do the frames and silkscreen printing themselves (they already give me a price).
I always give them extra fabric to do their tests on so I can use the tests as labels for the packaging bags.

In the end I always have more labels than I ordered.

1 BAG ( style)  - should to cover the following :

exact amount of material used  CHF XX

label                                              CHF 6.67

labour                                           CHF

packaging                                    ....

postage

marketing ( shoot, paid promotion, sponsored posts...)

design (% your salary per bag )

studio rent (% your rent per bag )

e-commerce and other business fees (% your business associated fees per bag )

- this is the final price ( RP - retail price ) which include margins. Margins cover all the expenses relating to running the business.

MY ESTIMATION - PLEASE CORRECT/ ADD MISSING INFORMATION TO DO THE COSTING FOR 1 STYLE ( above )
This is why is important to know over and prices numbers on :

Materials - all materials purchased and the quantity; he many bags/ items you can possibly make out of them?
CHF 700  / est. 147m / how much quantity per bag on average ( est.1,2m) ; roughly 125 bags.
Therefore average cost of material per 1 bag =  CHF 5.74

Labour - how much does it take you to make one bag?
Then assume it would be faster for a professional seamstress ( also need info from the factory).
How much is an average wage per hour for seamstress in Switzerland?

Label CHF 6.67
Packaging  - how much for the material and time to make it ?? Estimated CHF 3 ??
Postage - averaged cost between free collection to posting abroad; estimated CHF 2.5 ??

For other costs, let's work with the 125 bags - they can get produced and sold in 10 months :

What's the studio rent for 10 months
What Arte all other costs for 10months associated with the business and the products ?
What would be the basic salary for you for 10months ?
- add everything and then divide by 125 bags
If the price too high , wee need to find other revenue while producing and selling the bags.
At the same time, you need to raise your prices at least 20% from what there are.

Do this exercise and let me know the findings!
We can discuss further next time!

________
Margins in Fashion -  it has been between 2.5 up to 2.9 in luxury and department stores. This is major problem in the conventional and unrealistic  business models in fashion. Business “success” that has been promoted for last 20 + years  has meant constant investments to expand and produce more to eventually lower costs and expand margins …most fashion brands do not make profit for first 10 years! The only major winners is global  fast fashion brands like H&M and Boohoo in terms if making money  and the 2 Luxury groups, LVMH and Kering.

We are in the midst of transition which is confusing for many including retail, at the same time an opportunity for new business to create more realising, leaner and more sensible strategies including pricing and sales.

This might be of interest:

https://www.just-style.com/features/higher-margin-opportunities-found-in-circular-fashion-models/

The fashion breakdown seems different than other “products” as it is more complex... Here is an example:

Dress  ( certified  silk/ GOTS cotton  dress / / manufactured in EU )

£120   - cost of there product ( material, labour, labels, packaging, shipping ...)

X  1.5 -  2    usual margin by the designer/ brand ( mid- range/ independent/ premium ) to cover other expenses such studio rent, e-commerce, wages..

£ 240  - wholesale price by designer /brand sold to retailer  - from this, the brand designer cover all expenses including VAT

X 2.2 - 2.9 margin by retailer

£696 -  retail price - what costumer pays

I believe VAT is always included in RRP. However,  most new brands are exempt of VAT for first couple if years as they don’t pass £85,000 in year 1-3, in UK and most EU countries.

New, more sustainable/ circular brand calculate margins individually per item as the cost is mainly dependent on fabric. To balance the price points, the margins fluctuate ( between 1.2- 2.2 ), this includes carbon offset but not shipping from e-commerce, costumer pays for this. On the other hand,  if they sell wholesale via online store and they do free  shipping.
