We are a global apparel agency & showroom, specialising in off-shore production with partners in China & India. We bridge the gap from North to South: bringing an Antipodean edge to the world & gathering a snapshot of the globe back home. Through our commercial partnerships & an innate understanding of the cultural landscape, Archetype refines the dialogue between buyer, brand & ideas.
With a focus to simplify complexity, our onboarding process discovers strategic workflows for your project. We explore elements from fabric possibilities to geographical manufacturing advantages. Our final scope gives clear guidelines for all projects.
We lead through textile, therefore fabric sourcing is at the heart of our manufacturing process.
Our team travels to China on a quarterly basis for bespoke sourcing requests as well as expanding our internal fabric library. This resource is extended to our client portfolio so they can capitalise on efficiencies through our consolidated sourcing strategy.
Tech-packs are an integral piece of production and we have brought this capability in-house to avoid delays, mitigate miscommunication and create a seamless production process.
This garment blueprint is a complimentary aspect to the creative process and integral to our workflow.
In addition to technical capabilities, our team regularly publishes trend forecasting reports and consults across design phases, all as part of our internal process.
Over countless garments, our partner factories are optimised to produce our clothing with transparency and speed.
Leveraging our relationships, these partners offer us efficient sampling & production through consistent collaboration, consolidated into our portfolio.
Through these partnerships, we offer stable performance and communication tailored to our side of the world.
