Resonance, a collection of companies focused to transform the fashion industry, has announced the opening of its first stateside sew production facility in New York City.
“The US has lost one million apparel manufacturing jobs in the last 50 years. These jobs won’t come back by just wishing it – every step in the value chain to create fashion needs to be reimagined.
“Resonance is deeply committed to bringing components of garment manufacturing back to NYC, a city whose thriving textile manufacturing industry was driven overseas in search of lower production costs,” the statement further said. “Resonance believes that this network can birth a new fashion value chain and new entrepreneurs can build job-creating manufacturing businesses in their communities powered by orders for clothing from brands on the Resonance platform. These next generation manufacturers will compete on cost and by being closer to the end customer, adding value to the last-mile process, and producing garments that create social and environmental value transparently.”
In the future, Resonance’s goal is to open hundreds of these sew production facilities around the country and internationally while also connecting existing ones, helping to reimagine the textile manufacturing experience for designers, consumers and the planet.
