Who Are We?
CanvasWhisper is one of the best clothing manufacturers for startups, specializing in delivering high-quality, custom clothing production for small businesses around the world, with low MOQs starting from just one piece. Our headquarters is located in London, but we collaborate with factories worldwide, including in China, Turkey, the UK, Italy, and Japan. We will recommend factories based on the product type and your specific requirements, offering various options for you to choose from.
We can say what we can do is more than a clothing manufacturer. We are established by a fashion designer with a deep understanding of the challenges brands face and extensive hands-on experience in garment production. The founder's family business and additional production resources allow us to offer competitive pricing across our supply chain. Moreover, we prioritize a people-centered culture, ensuring that all our work is ethical. We are committed to the growth and well-being of our employees, aiming to make every member of the CanvasWhisper team happy both at work and in life.
Our Story
When our founder first attended a fashion show, he was captivated by the uniqueness of the designs. Each piece seemed to express the designer's ideas and viewpoints, like reading a three-dimensional book. From that moment, he fell in love with the fashion industry. But rather than just wearing others' creations, he wanted to transform his own inspirations into clothing that conveyed his thoughts and ideas. This desire led him to create his first brand.
Although he had the resources in garment production - a family-owned leather manufacturing factory - he lacked the complete knowledge of fashion design, and he was still unable to turn his ideas into reality. So he began learning and building a team, which included pattern makers, production coordinators, and fabric professionals. Leveraging his family business, he easily collaborated with clothing manufacturers to bring his designs to life. However, he realized not everyone had access to such resources.
The most significant challenge was communicating with factories. Most factories focus on production rather than the uniqueness of designs and inspirations. They guarantee timely delivery and quality but often fall short in translating a designer's vision. For those unfamiliar with the industry, the process was daunting—prices seemed arbitrary, and quality was inconsistent. These obstacles deterred many from pursuing their brand dreams.
This is why CanvasWhisper was born. We combine all our advantages. Our creative team understands clothing design and excels in software like AI and CAD. With professional designers and pattern makers, we can turn your inspiration into reality from just an image or a description. Our production team, backed by nearly three decades of experience, can handle products of varying complexities. Thanks to our family business's industry connections, we can partner with the best factories for your order, avoiding the pitfalls of inexperienced manufacturers.
At CanvasWhisper, anyone can become a designer. Whether you have experience or just a spark of inspiration, we will bring your vision to life.
