At Ivory Sheep, we use a pre-order method. Why? It helps us reduce waste and avoid dead stock. More importantly, pre-orders give us a better idea of demand for each item, allowing us to produce exactly what we need for each batch, with a little extra for backups. This approach ensures our extreme quality control standards are met, so you get the perfect piece every time. It also allows our manufacturer to take their time, source the right materials, and hand-make the garments without rushing like in fast fashion industries.
The pre-order model is perfect for a small brand like us, especially since we don't follow traditional fashion seasons. Instead, we create collections based on inspiration, fabric, and stories, not the time of year.
