You might be here
Different stages. The same need for a clear picture.
The Lab is a working review of your brand, product, sourcing, costing, and operations, not a shortened version of LaunchPad.
01 / Pre-launch
You have a strong idea, but need to decide what to make first and what must happen before sampling.
02 / Launched
You're selling, but margins feel thin, costs keep surprising you, and you can't pinpoint why.
03 / Growing
Sales are coming in, but assortment, vendors, costing, and production processes have not kept pace.
What changes
From guessing to deciding.
Examples of the kinds of decisions founders can make after an honest assessment.
Before"I think I need more products."
AfterYou know whether your assortment has a gap, or too many styles for your customer and cash.
Before"My prices feel right."
AfterYou've checked your prices against landed cost and target margin, and know which styles need attention.
Before"Everything feels urgent."
AfterYou have a short, ordered list of the next decisions, and what can wait.
What we work through
Five areas, one clear picture.
We go area by area, so you can see where the business is strong and where the gaps are.
- Brand and customer: who you're for, and whether the product matches
- Assortment and product: what to make, cut, or add next
- Costing and margins: where prices and costs need a closer look
- Development and sourcing: how ideas become samples, and who makes them
- Operations: the systems, timelines, and handoffs behind the product

What you get.
- One live, three-hour working session with Lauren

Who's teaching
Lauren Jones
Lauren spent more than 20 years in fashion design and product development inside global brands, including adidas, Reebok, Fabletics, and Legends, then founded Elle & Reid Consulting.
She has sat in the rooms where assortments get cut, costs get challenged, and production timelines get set. The Lab brings that same working review to your business.
