We get it. Nobody likes Minimum Order Quantities (MOQs). For a small brand, a manufacturer's Minimum Order Quantities (MOQs) can seem discriminatory and arbitrary. Nobody wants to order more stock than necessary and it's hard to know how well new styles will sell. When manufacturers require higher MOQs than you can achieve, it is frustrating; but manufacturers have MOQs for very good reasons.In this blog we lift the veil, giving an inside perspective on WHY manufacturers set MOQs. You may be sur
Sizing on the one hand is a fairly boring and technical topic, but it can be loaded with emotion too. What most people ask me is, how are sizes created and what measurements do you need for your design?

Our Schools In the Nile Delta, where all Egyptian cotton is grown, there are half a million children without access to education. With your help, we’re working to change that. The Nile Delta We’ve always maintained a close tie to our roots, learning about our farmers’ struggles in the process. After many conversations with our partners, our biggest takeaway was a need for convenient access to education for their children. 40m people live in the Nile Delta 25% of Egyptians are illiterate 70% of whom are women The State of Education Primary schools are few and far between, leading to over-crowded classrooms. Most rural children don’t have access to safe transportation and many end up dropping out. Young girls are not given the same learning opportunities as boys, widening the gender gap. There’s a direct correlation between illiteracy and poverty. Our Schools Working with a local NGO, we’re working to provide every child in our farming communities with safe, convenient, quality education. We’ve also prioritized a 2:1 female to male student ratio in an effort to empower young girls to experience equal opportunity. With every purchase, your orders fund the build-out and operations of school infrastructure, salaries for teachers, laptops, maintenance for the roads that link communities to our schools, books and supplies, science labs, water and electricity, furniture, and technical training for facilitators.

The Asian Business League of Southern California has recognized PACE as their 2016 Nonprofit of the Year! In their press release, the Asian Business League of Southern California (ABL) described perfectly what we do and why we do it: “Pacific Asian Consortium in Employment (PACE) is a community development organization that creates economic solutions to meet the challenges of employment, education, housing, the environment and business development for low income residents in the Pacific Asian and other diverse communities. Founded in 1976, PACE has a stellar track record of providing services to ethnic minority, low-income populations across Los Angeles County. Over the past 40 years, PACE has served more than 800,000 people throughout LA County. In 2015 alone, PACE assisted over 40,000 low-income individuals and families of the Los Angeles Area with its wide scope of services. While PACE works throughout Los Angeles, its primary market is low-income residents in 102 zip codes throughout the South Bay, Central Los Angeles, and San Gabriel Valley. PACE staff members collectively speak more than 40 languages and dialects. Although initially created to address the employment needs of the Asian Pacific Islander communities, PACE has expanded its services in response to community needs. For example, in the aftermath of the 1992 Los Angeles riots, PACE came to the aid of many ethnic minority small business owners who were faced with rebuilding their businesses by helping them apply for SBA disaster loans. In 1993, identifying an ongoing need in the communities served by PACE for business development assistance, PACE’s Business Development Center (BDC) was launched with a Federal grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of Community Services, Job Opportunities for Low Income Individuals (JOLI) program. The BDC was created to provide counseling, technical assistance, training, business certification, small capital grants and business loan packaging to small businesses in the communities served by PACE. To date, PACE’s BDC has counseled/trained 32,036 aspiring entrepreneurs to start, stabilize, and expand over 11,718 businesses and create/retain more than 15,968 jobs. After the 1994 Northridge Earthquake, PACE’s BDC provided additional disaster loan packaging services and assisted hundreds of minority- and women-owned businesses in bidding and obtaining contracts for building demolition, tree cutting, removing and hauling, clean-up, installation of light posts and traffic signals, repairing sidewalk, and water and sewage systems.” The Asian Business League of Southern California (ABL) is a non-profit organization founded in 1984 with the mission to facilitate relationships and connections that generate business opportunities for individuals and companies interested in both Pacific Rim and local Asian American markets. They educate and foster the next generation of professionals with their informative conferences and strong member base.
