COLLECTION
Overproduction is a major contributor to fashion-related waste.
Over 80 billion new items of clothing are produced each year globally.*
Of these garments, about 30% are never sold and end up being discarded or incinerated.**
About 50% of the garments produced in the United States each year are never worn.***
The fashion industry is responsible for 92 million tonnes of textile waste going to landfills each year.
This is equivalent to the weight of 95 million cars.****
Fashion brands often produce garments in excess of demand due to inaccurate demand forecasting.
This leads to overstocking, discounts, and ultimately, unsold garments being discarded.

The Problem
The SOLUTION
A 1-2 day on-site workshop (depending on the collection size) where we go through your previous and existing products/collection to:
All according to your sales data, customer feedback, internal feedback, brand direction and business goals.
The Goal
Before doing the Collection Clarity Workshop we missed the design connection of the collection and the purpose of some products. We wanted to have a cohesive collection with the right products and a clear design DNA.
After the workshop we created a strong vision and collection that will take us to a higher level. We are proud of the products we make and we have now the conviction that we are doing the right things.
The experience and the references made Desinder stand out, and the reason we wanted to work with them. The process of working together was clear and with fast communication.
Ana works with a very human approach and enthusiasm, listens and has a attentive interactive way.
Would highly recommend Desinder – it has opened our eyes on solutions and the speed with which everything can be solved.

I was thoroughly impressed with the results of the collection workshop. Desinder provided a wealth of knowledge on how to effectively structure our collections, maximizing efficiency and profitability. The hands-on exercises and real-world examples used during the workshop were extremely beneficial, giving us practical tools to apply to our brand immediately.
I would highly recommend this workshop to any brand looking to improve their collection structure and take their business to the next level.

Marketing, sales, design/product development, and leadership to preferably attend the workshop for the best result.
The 1-to-2-day (depending on collection size) workshop will be held at your location, where the entire team can be present, and all products reviewed.
