Collections

Our Collections

We produce complete collections for Spring, Summer, Fall/ Winter & Resort but add to them on a weekly basis due to the extensive demand for in-season buying and the need to adjust inventories that is so common these days. Flexibility is key and we provide it to our customers.

Private Label Production

One of our strenghts is the private label development services we can provide. A turn-key operation, we can provide you everything you need to produce a collection with your label, from design to finished product. You just need to take care of the marketing to your final client. Please contact Alex Lee at (213) 745-7300 for more information or e-mail him at info@collectiveconcepts.net.

On PRIVATE LABEL

Due to constant inquiries about Private Label services we’ve decided to create this primer to give you an overall look on what makes doing Private Label programs with us feasible. We believe that Private Label is a very important aspect of our business. Both established department stores and upcoming private chain stores need to have at least part of their merchandising under their own labels to establish loyalty to their stores and protect against copy-cat competition.

Basic premises are styles, price, volume and timing:

1. Styles: we can work with styles submitted by you or work with styles from our own collection;
2. Price: price will be cognizant to volume requested and adjusted accordingly; the more units you order, the lower the price will be;
3. Volume: minimum order for private label jobs is at least 200 units per style ( this quantity can be subdivided in 2 or 3 colors and 3 or 4 sizes ). When we do the minimum normally we will cut more units to be sold under our own label in order to achieve economies of scale necessary to make the price competitive, for exclusivity in a body- fabric combination, the minimum quantity is 500 units;
4. Timing: lead time is about 60 days but can be reduced to 30 days if we have the fabric and pattern available at the time of ordering;

We require at least a 30% payment advance in placed orders and full payment of balance by the time of delivery.

Ordering

Our ordering system allows you maximum flexibility. You can order at the showrooms, on tradeshows, over the phone, via fax or by e-mail.

Minimum order is 1 (one) pre-pack per color. Currently, most pre-packs are 3 Smalls, 2 Mediums & 1 Large per pre-pack.

Pricing

Pricing is extremely competitive. We have a very interesting combination of contemporary-level looks & budget- level pricing. That provides our retailers better margins and profit.
