General information

Short Summary
The German company is a label for lifestyle products made from used kite and windsurfing sails. They are looking for a European contract manufacturer to sew their bags made from recycled sailed fabrics under an outsourcing agreement.
Full Description
The German start-up is specialised in designing, producing and distributing sustainable bags, lifestyle fashion and accessoires from used kite and windsurfing sails. They put great emphasis in a circular system and use only organic, upcycled materials made in Europe. In production, the company uses the principles of upcycling, which means turning discarded products into new ones.

For the production of their bags collection, they are looking for a European contract manufacturer to sew small series (> 200 pieces per model; for the pilot series, however, max. 50 pieces!).

The German company provides the contract manufacturer with:
- Cut to size and numbered goods
- The goods are partly pre-assembled and will be bundled in 10 pieces
- All necessary ingredients (labels, thread, zips, ribbons ...)
- Cut layers on heat-sealed paper for the lining fabrics
- Lining fabric in rolls

Interested partner companies should be aware of the small numbers and that these are individual items and not series production.

The German company is looking for a reliable partner who can offer competitive prices from an EU member state for a long-term cooperation under an outsourcing agreement.
