If you're serious about starting or growing a clothing brand, this is your opportunity to spend 3 full days exploring the Los Angeles apparel industry with me and meeting the manufacturers, suppliers, printers, and specialists who can actually help you bring your products to life.
Instead of spending months searching online, sending emails, and trying to figure out who to trust, I'm taking you directly to the places I recommend.
You'll meet 30+ apparel industry resources across Los Angeles, connect with other clothing brand owners, ask questions, see how products are actually made, and start building relationships with the people behind the industry.

We start with our biggest tour.
You'll board a private shuttle with me as we travel throughout Vernon and the surrounding LA manufacturing district, visiting 10+ established apparel manufacturers and suppliers.
Depending on the tour lineup, stops can include:
You'll get to walk inside these businesses, meet the people running them, learn what they specialize in, understand their minimums and capabilities, and ask questions about your own brand.
No driving from stop to stop — transportation for the tour is included.

Come to LA and Build Your Network
This isn't just about collecting addresses.
For three days, I'll personally guide you through the LA apparel industry, introduce you to my connections, help you understand what each manufacturer does, and answer questions about your own products and brand along the way.
You'll also spend three days around other clothing brand owners and entrepreneurs, giving you the opportunity to network, exchange ideas, and build relationships with people on the same journey.
If you're traveling to Los Angeles specifically to find manufacturers, this is the trip to make.
3 days. 30+ industry resources. Manufacturers, blanks, printing, embroidery, packaging, labels, cut & sew and more — all guided by me.
Come to LA with questions.
