Where Can I Go to Start a Clothing Brand?

If you want to start a clothing brand, you have a few options. You can work with a clothing manufacturer to create completely bespoke garments, use a print-on-demand service, or start with high-quality blank garments and customise them with your own designs and branding.

For many new brands, starting with premium blank garments is the simplest route. It allows you to create a professional product without the quantities and complexity involved in manufacturing clothing from scratch.

Choosing your garments

The garment itself is just as important as the design you put on it.

Think about the fit, weight, fabric, colours and overall feel you want your brand to have. A heavyweight oversized t-shirt, for example, creates a very different product from a lightweight standard-fit tee. At Vektor, we supply garments from brands including Stanley/Stella and AS Colour, with options across t-shirts, sweatshirts, hoodies and other styles.

Adding your designs

Once you've chosen your garments, you'll need to decide how your artwork will be applied.

Depending on the design and quantity, this could include screen printing, DTF printing or embroidery. You don't need to know which process you need before getting started. A good printer should be able to look at your artwork, garment and quantities and recommend the most suitable method.

Making it your own

There are also ways to make blank garments feel much more like your own product. Custom neck labels, woven labels, swing tags and branded packaging can all help turn a printed garment into something that feels like a finished clothing brand.
