Fashion Production Management

Fashion Production Management for Fashion Brands

Paul & Yakov is an external product & production office for fashion brands. We are not a single factory — we build collections, source materials and factories, manage samples, control bulk production and take the product through to delivery, across a vetted network in China, Italy, Portugal, Turkey, Japan, Mongolia and Tunisia.

Who this is for

We work with fashion and lifestyle brands ready to move from concept to production — from a label launching its first collection to an established brand scaling an existing line or entering a new category.

If you need one accountable team to coordinate development, sourcing, factories and delivery — instead of managing five separate vendors yourself — this is the model. If you already have an in-house production team and only need a single introduction, our sourcing service alone may be a better fit.

What we manage

Product Development Collection design, assortment matrix, product structure, categories, size range and technical logic.

Sourcing Selection of fabrics, yarns, trims, packaging, finishes and special technologies to match the target price and quality.

Factory Network Sourcing and onboarding factories in China, Italy, Portugal, Turkey and the CIS for the specific product category.

Sampling Sample development, factory comments, fit and construction control, materials and pre-production samples.

Bulk Production Bulk production management: timelines, pricing, materials, size range, packaging and factory communication.

QC & Logistics Quality control, measurements, finishing, packaging, documentation and final delivery support.

Frequently asked questions

We are a production management company, not a factory. We select, coordinate and manage a network of vetted partner factories across China, Italy, Portugal, Turkey, Japan, Mongolia and Tunisia, matched to each brand's category, quality level and volume.
Everything between concept and delivery: collection structure, material and factory sourcing, sample development, bulk production, quality control, logistics and documentation — coordinated by one accountable team.
At any stage — from an early moodboard or product brief through to an existing collection that needs a new factory route, additional categories or a scale-up in volume.
From 25 units per category, depending on the product and production route.
Sampling typically takes from 2 weeks depending on complexity. Bulk production runs from 6 weeks, depending on the category, materials and production route.
We match factories to the brief by category, quality standard, price target and volume across our network of 300+ partner facilities. We can also work alongside an existing factory or material supplier where it makes sense for the project.
