How We Work at Topology
At Topology, we believe good products don’t come from rushed factories or anonymous supply chains — they come from clarity, trust, and small-scale precision. Here’s how we make that happen in Vancouver.
1. 🧠 Clarity Comes First
Before we produce anything, we help you understand what you're making — and why.
We start every project with a conversation:
- What’s your ideal customer like?
- What’s the garment’s use case — daily wear, capsule collection, merch?
- What’s your price point and timeline?
Our team then helps you define the right fabric, silhouette, and spec using our in-house research tools and experience in independent brand building.
2. 📐 Prototyping, Not Guessing
We prototype every new design with precision and honesty. In our Vancouver studio, we:
- Create digital or paper patterns
- Cut and sew your first sample
- Adjust for fit, balance, and comfort — especially for basics like T-shirts
You’ll get full visibility through every revision, with detailed cost breakdowns and suggestions based on MOQ and scaling potential.
3. 🧵 Sourcing That Makes Sense
We work directly with local and international suppliers we’ve built relationships with — not random brokers. That means:
- Small-batch-friendly fabric orders
- Transparency on lead times and alternatives
- Optional stockholding or swatch shipping from our Vancouver hub
We also recommend fabrics based on actual test results — not just what’s popular or available. (Yes, we really stretch and wash them ourselves.)
4. 🏗️ Production With Flexibility
Once we finalize your product, we offer two production paths:
Local Production (Vancouver):
- Small batch (30–300 pcs)
- Ideal for pilot runs or made-in-Canada labels
- Short lead time (2–4 weeks)
Partnered Overseas Production:
- For scaled orders with competitive pricing
- Trusted ethical partners in Asia
- Full quality control managed by our team
You choose what works for your brand, and we handle the rest.
5. 📦 Packaging, Labeling & Shipping
We also support:
- Custom woven labels and neck tags
- Sustainable packaging options
- Direct-to-warehouse or dropship-ready packing
Whether you’re stocking a boutique or launching a crowdfunding campaign, we’ll help you look professional and aligned with your values.
