About this workshop:
Many of us tinker with the idea of designing a handbag or jewelry line, or even a collection of something "accessorizing" that we see missing from the market, but successfully launching an accessories business takes more than a great imagination and a few friends as clients. Come hear how to get started in a micro-workshop designed to give you a brief overview for the launch phase.


What you’ll leave with:

  • Realistic budget for launching your accessory company
  • Resources for sourcing raw materials
  • Information on finding partners to help get your product made if you can’t make it yourself
  • Sales funnels 
  • Advice on how you should spend your money (fashion publicist, showroom fees or the trade show circuit)


This Workshop Is Ideal For:
Designers - new and emerging, corporate types who want to make a change
