Yesterday I had a big trip to Midtown to meet with one of our prospective fabric suppliers and pick up some trim and zippers (Riri of course) for sampling. Everything went really well and it looks like I’m going to have a hell of a time finalizing fabrics for the GHSTS cut & sew collection, I saw so many great fabrics it was almost overwhelming. Check out some of the pictures from our trip to the ever beautiful Midtown Manhattan.

In one of the pictures you see one of the many giant binders of fabric cards I was shown yesterday. I also took some time to stop by a couple of the fabric stores to see what fabrics are available now that might work out for sampling. Over all a good and productive afternoon for the brand and for this project!  While in Midtown I happened to run into Darklamb who was rushing off to one of her many projects! 

Please take a chance to check out our SMALLKNOT campaign to help us make this expansion into cut & sew even more of a reality for the brand, we have some great rewards for your contributions. GHSTS on Smallknot.

Hey guys we wanted to take this opportunity to give you a little insight into our crowd funding campaign we’re currently running. 

So we’re doing a crowd funding campaign on a site called Smallknot, we choose to work with Smallknot because of how focused they are on small local businesses and their personal commitment to each campaign. Being a small business who wants to build in our community to become bigger and better this was very attractive to us. 

Why are we looking for funding?

Well over the last almost two years that GHSTS has existed we’ve been a really small company, yes we’ve grown slowly but surely but we have remained rather small. The need for funds at this time is due to us wanting to take our largest step forward into cut & sew garments made in Brooklyn. Branching out into cut & sew garments is a new and exciting challenge for the brand, one that allows us to better control our quality, costs, and branding. 

What makes GHSTS different then every other small/start up clothing line out there? 

What makes us different is our approach to design and our vision for the label. We want GHSTS to become a small yet full fledged clothing label over the next two years. We’re not going to over night attempt to make 25 new styles, we want to start small in cut & sew with hoodies and tee shirts ( styles that we will be able to use season in and season out) before going further. Taking these small measured steps will help to ensure we do not get in above our heads with manufacturing and supply expenses that can overwhelm even the best small designers. We want to focus on our quality as well maintaining our production here in Brooklyn and New York, why go abroad when there is world class quality here in our own backyard. 

Why should I contribute to you guys?

• You should contribute to us if you believe in our product in our brand and our idea of how to move forward. 
• You should contribute to us if you like seeing a small business grow in an organic manor.
•  Also you should contribute to us because we have some great rewards in exchange for you help ( custom tee shirts, tee shirts, tote bags,stickers, posters and more!)  because we want to make it fun and rewarding for you.

If anyone has any other questions please feel free to message us, we love hearing feedback, ideas and of course your questions!
