YOUR GO-TO APPAREL PARTNER
HELPING YOU GET YOUR GARMENTS MADE SINCE 2016
HEY THERE, I'M MELANIE!
You probably know me from my Instagram account @alookbehindtheseams where over 180,000 people follow me into factories all over the world to learn how clothing is made.
But before I made it my mission to help every day people start fashion brands I worked with behemoths like Walmart and Target, as well as shaky startups that evolved into cult favorites like Nili Lotan and Hunter Boot - traveling to countries like Mexico, Domincan Republic, China, India, Taiwan, Egypt, and the Philippines where I got to see first-hand how the fashion industry operates.
Now my goal is to help you! Because the world needs more passionate brands that want to serve their communities while making their products ethically - and I'm here to help make that happen.

“Melanie has given me the confidence I needed to really make this startup happen.
It's like having a partner there with you every step of the way giving you feedback and advice.
I cannot say enough great things.
”
“As someone with entrepreneurial experience, who has shipped and sold in their market firsthand, and has a business background, I can tell you I learned something every week.
Starting a brand from the ground up is completely different from working for one.
”
“Melanie helped fill all the gaps in my industry knowledge that I was left with after graduating from fashion school. She is like a production matchmaker, pairing clients with ethical manufacturers for any product you can think of.
Weekly calls allowed space for brainstorming, problem-solving, and a great sense of community.
”
“Melanie was able to help me scale my business and get wholesale ready. She continues to be my go-to sourcing resource as I grow my brand.
Knowing that I had a strong supply chain to back up my orders helped give me the extra confidence I needed to start taking larger retails.
