Before you call…what you need to know before you order your labels

The mood boards you’ve been working on for the last few months have come to life: the models have been cast, the fabrics found and the last button stitched into place. You’ve even sorted the playlist for the catwalk show. It’s a fantastic feeling knowing that the hard work is over and you can sink into bed because everything has been taken care of. But it’s often at this point that designers wake in the night in a panic upon realising they’ve forgotten to order their labels!

Stand out from the competition
The truth is, labels are an essential part of brand identity. They are a simple way to give your collection a touch of togetherness and can make any garment look professional. Labels can say so many things: whether you want to use a wash label to make sure your products are looked after, or want to support the UK textiles industry with some ‘Made in Britain’ branding.

What colours you want the label to be
