Cut in small runs in Pecatu
A note on why we make a hundred of something instead of a thousand, and what that costs us.
Everything is cut and sewn about twenty minutes from the store, in a studio small enough that the woman who sewed your waistband could tell you which machine she used.
Small runs are inefficient by every measure a factory cares about. The per-unit cost is higher, the fabric minimums are awkward, and we sell out of sizes we did not predict correctly. We keep doing it because the alternative is guessing at scale, and guessing at scale is how a brand ends up with a warehouse of things nobody wanted.
It also means we can change a pattern between runs. The waistband on the second run of the Oat skort is 4mm wider than the first, because enough people told us the first one rolled. In a thousand-unit run that feedback arrives too late to act on.
Restocks happen when a piece earns them, not on a calendar. If something is gone, it is genuinely gone for a while.
Move. Live. Connect.
