We know our prices are high and only rising higher. And our domestic factories can’t keep up with all our designs and ideas since we’re still so small and they need bigger business to make the real bucks.
In an attempt to help our Starpuffs still get our pieces while trying to help keep costs low and to get more new pieces made, we’ve partnered with a very small factory in China that works with small brands such as ours to help make some amazing pieces without sacrificing our quality.
The knit garments are also knit with nearly 0 waste due to much better knitting machines being used overseas than the older machines in the USA. So our knit partners are making these pieces exactly as patterned versus our domestic machines which largely knit rectangles that we then cut into to create our necks and armholes! We’re super excited for this growth!
We are testing with a few pieces and may expand our international options, but this doesn’t mean we are moving everything overseas. We’re just supplementing our domestic apparel with a few international designs here and there, and they’ll be priced much lower than our Made in LA apparel as they just aren’t nearly as expensive to create, so we can make them more affordable for everyone!
