Cost of Goods

Please note that the above quotes do not include the cost of goods for development or bulk production including, but not limited to pattern fees, factory fees, material costs, fit model fees, shipping, etc. See below for more information on these variable cost of goods:

DEVELOPMENT COST OF GOODS BUDGET

US Development: we would suggest budgeting ~$2K per style for all materials, sampling fees from factory vendors, fit model fees, etc. for the development process (from initial sample to final sample). These costs are variable and dependent on the complexity of the styles, the materials, which factory we are developing/producing in, etc. 

Overseas Development (meaning you would also be producing overseas): this budget would be much, much less if at all necessary. 

NOTE: All of the vendor fees will be invoiced directly to you from the vendors so you will know exactly who your supply chain is, etc. 

BULK PRODUCTION COST OF GOODS BUDGET

This is the most variable budget. Our strategy is to reverse-engineer into a cost-per-unit target. The cost target is set by knowing your target retail and target margins. At the beginning of the process, our team will help you understand the feasibility behind your targets, work them out with you, and build the strategy accordingly.
