The Big Idea
   

Clothing is manufactured in mass for the masses. Archetype makes garments for the individual. Our industry solution enables retailers to bring affordable customized apparel to their consumers.

Studies show over half of all shoppers struggle to find the perfect fit. Archetype's proprietary technology and manufacturing systems generate custom patterns and garments that provide consumers with the exact fit and style details they're looking for in their favorite brands.

As former apparel professionals, we witnessed industry wide problems of too much inventory, too little inventory, sizes that didn't fit, and items no one would buy. Archetype's solution solves these problems.

  "… one of the most significant technology advances in the apparel industry… [it] allows the masses to get the perfect fit without hiring a tailor... no [apparel company] can afford not to use it."
--Swartz, 2002

Profits improve with Archetype. Our partners experience decreased returns, dramatically improved inventory costs (there is no inventory since garments are produced upon order), and drastically improved margins. There are no markdowns, no closeouts, and consumers are willing to pay a premium for unique products made to their specifications.

Most importantly, the Archetype custom offering provides a point of differentiation in an increasingly competitive industry.
