Constance D. May 2016 Couldn’t Ask for More
I’ve been designing cocktail dresses for some years now and have had a difficult time working directly with a manufacturer. There have often been gaps in communication and the samples that were made haven’t fit consistently across the board (for the same size). A friend put me in touch with Trunkist and I couldn’t be happier. My dresses are very feminine and require expert pattern making and construction, yet the Trunkist team delivered. Michelle and I went through a truly collaborative process to make all 12 dresses production ready. She was kind, but assertive in her professional recommendations. Michelle is a great listener, and helped my vision become fully realized. After they made my sales’ samples, the Trunkist team even helped me with production planning and sourcing. I love working with them and would highly recommended Trunkist to any designer hoping to simplify their lives!!

Sarah James C. May 2016 One Stop Design Shop!
For years I have dreamed of starting my own swimwear line. I am a physical trainer, and spend many hours a day in athletic wear and swimwear! Living on the LA coast, the fashion industry is close to me, yet I had no idea where to begin the process of launching my a clothing line. After meeting with Dustin to hear about Trunkist's services, this company sounded like the perfect support system I needed to get started. The Director of Fashion Design, Mallory, guided me through all the important decisions I needed to make in finalizing my swimwear ideas. She had great input to my design details, sourced the perfect fabrics for me, and did all the technical work to ensure great fitting swimsuits. Mallory helped me develop my ideas into truly functional, beautiful pieces. Trunkist was easy to work with, very knowledgeable, and openly communicative. Mallory kept me informed through every phase of the development process and I learned so much! I cannot recommend Trunkist and their entire team more. I will continue to work with them in development and production, as I expand my new brand!

AWESOME!
I wanted to start a clothing line, but had no clue where to start. Trunkist helped me turn my Pinterest board ideas into clothes. I got to directly partner with one of the experienced designers on the Trunkist team in a truly collaborative relationship. The samples created out of Trunkist are 100% production-ready, and are very high quality. We worked out a budget and timeline together, and they were excellent in communicating throughout the entire process. It has been a WONDERFUL experience working with and learning from the Trunkist team. I highly recommend their services.
