Los Angeles Couturier is LA's premier garment atelier. Designers the world over have sought us out to translate their designs into finished pieces. By infusing traditional couture techniques with a modern eye, we bring pieces to life like no one else.
You're passionate about quality. You have a clear vision for a clothing line but it's important to you that it is executed to perfection. But there's a problem. You're frustrated with contractors never getting you a straight answer and you're are tired of not having your calls returned. You're sick of the finished product being of poor quality. You've found out that going from a design to a finished garment is harder and takes longer than you ever thought.
That's were we come in. Los Angeles Couturier came into being because too many times we saw designers' lines get derailed by an overly complicated and inefficient manufacturing system. Most people have no idea how many steps go into creating a garment. There is the design phase, making tech packs, patterning, sampling, digitizing the pattern and size grading every size, fabric sourcing, cutting, sewing, finishing, etc. etc. etc. At every stage quality controls must be strictly adhered to or else you end up with an inferior product.
We make this process simple. We take care of the nuts and bolts of manufacturing to free the designer up to do what they do best.
Design.
