FESCH.TV INFORMIERT:

Sample Room is a development and small scale manufacturing studio in the heart of the old garment district in Collingwood. Julia shares her wealth of knowledge of local manufacturing to support emerging designers, including First Nations brand Ihraa Swim. Reflecting on the benefits of local manufacturing, including clearer communication and at times even improved costs, Sample Room is struggling to find machinists to keep up with the increase in local demand. One possible solution is to highlight the craftsmanship that goes into the making of a garment to show interested students that it is a rewarding career pathway.
