Why is Distributed Made to Order the future of garment manufacturing? 

Exploring The Limitless Possibilities of Made-To-Order Micro MOQ production

Pattern Project, based in South London, launched in April 2020 offering an alternative manufacturing process to fast fashion and has since partnered with UK brands such as Phoebe English and Roberts Wood. The company’s unique process combines on-demand production with customisation and custom fit. Brands connect their website directly to Pattern Project’s cutting machine, which means a customer can enter their measurements or customisation requirements and this will feed through to the factory for production.

Pattern Project has received grant funding from the London Mayor’s Office and the Design Council to pilot this programme, which will run until the end of the year.

Pattern Project is looking to connect with like-minded brands that are interested in exploring the potential of on-demand manufacturing. The team are particularly looking to work with established UK brands in the mid-market to luxury, preferably working with natural fibres and focused initially on dresses for womenswear and potentially childrenswear.

“We see this as a journey of discovery for both us and the brand, and hope it can grow into a long-term sustainable solution,” said co-founder Simon Johnson.

The micro-MOQ requirement would likely comprise an initial order of five garments, followed by single orders produced on demand.
