Scale Your Fashion Label
Without the Tech Pack, Factory & Line Sheet Drag!
Stop losing your creative flow to tedious measurement spec tables, Bill of Materials (BOM) data entry, middle-of-the-night factory follow-ups, wholesale showroom line sheets on JOOR and NuORDER, and manual e-commerce uploads. SageDoer equips fashion designers with vetted, production-conscious Virtual Assistants—supervised daily by a Dedicated Project Manager at absolutely no extra charge. Protect design time, accelerate collection drops, and protect your margins starting at just $6/hour.
Fashion Operations Pod
Active Collection Pipeline
Your Production & Sampling Controller
Audits tech pack point-of-measure (POM) accuracy, coordinates mill fabric swatch requests, tracks cut-and-sew sampling milestones across international time zones, and validates time logs before deliverables reach your atelier.
Why Visionary Fashion Designers
Choose the SageDoer Managed Model
As a fashion designer, your genius belongs in draping, silhouette experimentation, color palette curations, and creative direction. You shouldn't spend 25 hours a week hand-keying measurement tables into Excel or emailing overseas mills at 1:00 AM about lab dips.
Zero Management Overhead
You never have to micromanage unverified remote freelancers or worry if your tech pack grading was converted correctly. Your dedicated Project Manager oversees execution, sample follow-ups, and time logs at no added cost.
Up to 70% Studio Cost Savings
Hiring an in-house fashion production assistant or merchandise coordinator in NYC, London, or LA costs $50,000–$75,000+ plus studio space and payroll taxes. Secure vetted, managed fashion operations support starting at just $6 to $7 per hour.
Seamless Overseas Factory Sync
Apparel manufacturing spans Europe, Turkey, India, Vietnam, and Portugal. Your VA handles async factory check-ins, tracks courier sample waybills, updates BOM spreadsheets, and flags production delays while you sleep.
Meticulous Tech Pack & BOM Hygiene
A single measurement error can ruin an entire production run of 500 garments. Our assistants populate Point-of-Measure (POM) tables, input graded specs, format fabric compositions, and catalog trims in Techpacker or Backbone PLM.
Wholesale Line Sheets & Showrooms
Preparing for Market Week or uploading drops to JOOR, NuORDER, and Faire requires clean SKU matrices, wholesale wholesale minimums, and lookbook asset linking. Your VA keeps wholesale buyers informed and orders organized.
Zero Downtime Replacement
If an assistant takes leave right before Paris Fashion Week or a major seasonal sample drop, our Project Manager immediately activates an internal backup already briefed on your label's aesthetic codes, specs, and templates.
What Can You Delegate to a
Fashion Design Virtual Assistant?
From tech pack spec generation and fabric swatch tracking to sample maker communication, line sheet uploads, and lookbook formatting, here is the factual scope our assistants execute daily.
Tech Packs, Spec Sheets & BOM Management
Flawless technical packs that prevent factory manufacturing errors- Tech Pack Assembly & Formatting: Organizing CAD flat sketches, stitch callouts (SPI, overlock, coverstitch), colorway codes (Pantone TCX/TPG), and construction notes in Techpacker or Illustrator.
- Point of Measure (POM) & Graded Spec Sheets: Inputting size grading measurements (XS to 2XL) across chest, inseam, sweep, and sleeve lengths based on your master fit block.
- Bill of Materials (BOM) Calculations: Logging shell fabric yields, lining, interfacing, custom hardware, zipper gauges, buttons, care labels, and hangtag specifications.
- Tech Pack Version Control: Updating revision logs (Proto 1, Proto 2, Sales Sample, Pre-Production Sample) to ensure factories reference only approved revisions.
Fabric Sourcing, Mill Swatches & Sampling Tracking
Keeping raw material mills and cut-and-sew partners strictly on schedule- Fabric Mill & Trim Swatch Coordination: Requesting fabric headers, knit/woven swatches, lab dips, and strike-offs from domestic and international textile suppliers.
- Digital Material & Swatchbook Cataloging: Documenting fabric composition, GSM weight, width, minimum order quantities (MOQs), price per yard/meter, and supplier lead times in Airtable.
- Prototype & Sample Fitting Schedule Tracking: Tracking DHL/FedEx sampling packages, logging factory dispatch dates, and recording model fit-session feedback notes.
- Production Timeline & Milestone Monitoring: Monitoring critical path deadlines for fabric knitting/weaving, dyeing, cutting, sewing, and final packaging.
Wholesale Line Sheets & E-Commerce Operations
Accelerating wholesale buyer orders and flawless direct-to-consumer store drops- Digital Wholesale Line Sheet Creation: Designing branded PDF line sheets and digital catalogs featuring style codes, wholesale pricing, MSRP, size runs, and delivery windows.
- B2B Marketplace Portal Management (JOOR, NuORDER, Faire): Uploading seasonal collections, updating line sheets, setting case packs, and processing incoming boutique wholesale orders.
- Shopify / E-Commerce Product Listing: Writing product descriptions, uploading flat lay and model imagery, setting size charts, tagging collections, and logging fabric care instructions.
- Inventory Matrix & SKU Reconciliation: Managing color/size variant matrices, updating pre-order inventory quantities, and syncing inventory between warehouse and storefront.
Lookbooks, Editorial Prep & Studio Administration
Polished visual branding assets and smooth day-to-day atelier operations- Campaign Photoshoot Call Sheets & Logistics: Creating shoot call sheets, mood boards, studio rental bookings, and shot lists for editorial and e-commerce model shoots.
- Lookbook & Press Kit Layout: Formatting high-res collection lookbooks in InDesign or Canva for distribution to fashion editors, stylists, and wholesale buyers.
- Social Media Moodboarding & Scheduling: Curating runway inspirations, fabric details, and behind-the-scenes atelier reels on Instagram, TikTok, and Pinterest.
