About Léa

After many years in various roles within the fashion and textile industry, I've decided to offer my services to provide a more comprehensive view of my beloved profession.
My training and professional experiences in France and abroad have allowed me to develop a great sense of adaptability and, above all, to be very versatile.

Whatever your needs:
- You are an entrepreneur (or aspiring to be) in the textile industry but lack the time or technical expertise to bring your project to fruition. I can handle all or part of your collection, offer consulting sessions, and train you on the technical and industrial aspects of garment production.
- You are part of a larger organization looking for a new operational collaborator for a specific mission or for the entire duration of a collection.

I adapt to all situations!

Your product from A to Z or à la carte!
- The Idea: Styling / Mood board / Collection Plan
- Development: Feasibility / Material Quality / Pattern Making / Grading / Prototyping / Technical File and Bill of Materials / Sourcing and Pricing
- Refinement: Pre-production Samples (PPS) / Fittings / Modifications
- Production: Production and Quality Monitoring / Production Problem Management / Shipment Samples / Factory Visits
- Audit and Consulting: Assessment of your processes / Process proposals / Implementation of new processes / Development of specifications and company guidelines....


Do not hesitate to contact me to discuss your needs, and we can find the most suitable solutions together.

See you soon!
