Develop, Test, Refine and Thrive

At JLD Studios, we specialize in purpose-driven brands. Are you seeking solutions for a problem, a better alternative, or a new invention? If your idea involves sewing steps, then our team is here to support you!

 With over a decade of experience, we've been instrumental in helping small and emerging brands launch their sewn products. We take particular delight in collaborating with brands that bring a unique perspective and carve out their own niche in the market.

How can you achieve thriving success? By prioritizing the functionality of your garment or sewn item. From the very beginning, we will build upon your brand's DNA while eliminating wasteful and unnecessary elements. We understand that it might be challenging, but we ask you to momentarily set aside the allure of a beautiful design. Instead, let's focus on the core functionality of your product. This is the aspect we will develop and test through our proven iterative process, which emphasizes function first.

Develop, Test, Refine

 Through diligent development and testing, we will determine if your sewn product meets the crucial FUNCTION FIRST criteria. Once this is achieved, we will proceed to refine the design, features, and construction techniques to ensure market viability. Our approach enables us to move swiftly from concept to production, providing immediate market feedback and a roadmap for continuous improvement. 

 Our iterative process allows us to continuously improve your product based on market feedback, ensuring that it remains competitive and meets the evolving needs of your customers.

Let's collaborate and create sewn products that excel in both functionality and visual appeal.

 JLD-Studios was founded based on my personal experience in the fashion industry. Relocating from New York to Oregon, I began freelancing, which soon grew into a small business focused on print and apparel design. Witnessing the struggles of our clients in production, with manufacturers dismissing start-ups or imposing unattainable minimums, I decided to address the challenge directly. Thus, our factory side was born.

Today, we continue to support small and emerging brands while partnering with larger ones. Our mission is to create an environment that simplifies fashion accessibility transparently. At JLD-Studios, we merge design and manufacturing expertise to empower brands and bring their visions to life. Driven by our passion to make a difference in the industry, we offer reliable solutions for our clients.

 Based in Portland, Oregon, JLD-Studios is your one-stop solution for US manufacturing. We manage all aspects of production in-house, from fabric printing to cutting and sewing, ensuring no part of the process is outsourced.   By supporting local job opportunities, we contribute to the growth of the US economy. With our commitment to excellence, we prioritize creating strong and impactful products. 

We believe that being pretty is not enough; quality and functionality go hand in hand. Our streamlined processes and attention to detail ensure efficiency and exceptional results. Trust JLD-Studios as your dedicated partner in delivering top-notch sewn manufacturing solutions.
