[ SEWN GOODS DEVELOPMENT STUDIO ]
Connecting the dots from product concept to production
We support apparel and soft goods brands, connecting the creative, technical, and strategic stages that bring a product to life.
The strongest products are shaped long before production begins. We focus on the often-overlooked space between concept and manufacturing, resolving the details that can otherwise lead to costly revisions, delays, and inconsistent production.
We help define the product, position it within the brand and market, and build the structure needed to develop it.
We prepare each project for the next stages of pattern making, sampling, and manufacturing, providing the direction and documentation needed for a more informed handoff to production partners.
Product Development
Concept direction, materials, construction, sampling, tech packs, and manufacturing readiness.
Brand Integration
Product positioning, customer clarity, visual identity, campaign needs, and the next steps required to connect the product to the brand and market.
Innovation Framework
Original concept development, product opportunity, IP-focused planning, prototype direction, and the structure needed to move the product line forward.
Have a product in mind?
Built within Los Angeles’ deeply connected apparel and sewn goods ecosystem.
Based in DTLA, Studio EMSHI works in close proximity to experienced pattern makers, sample rooms, material and trim suppliers, specialty contractors, and manufacturers. This access allows us to communicate more closely, source with greater intention, and address development details before they become larger production issues.
We are intentional about building relationships with partners who bring strong craftsmanship, technical knowledge, and real manufacturing experience to each stage of the process.
