FAQ
Three words: Time. Aggravation. Money. Simply put, the amount of time and money it would take you to try to do what we have already perfected is too costly. Besides the enormous costs of travel, imagine how long it will take you to: find the best ethical manufacturers and suppliers in Bali, test them, trust them to not cheat you, get them to focus on your project and not dump you for a bigger order or disappear completely, ensure quality is achieved for each piece every time, learn to speak in a foreign language, to learn foreign business ethics & rules & culture, or to simply ensure that you get exactly what you want immediately.
We've seen many designers lose a lot of time an money trying a DIY approach. It is more cost effective to use a trusted agent like us. It also massively reduces the stress so you can focus on being creative and marketing your brand.
No. Our manufacturers range from small skilled artisans to huge factories. They don't have webites and don't speak english. And they deal with us because we have a long standing business relationship with them. They don't deal directly with individuals. It's taken years for us to source honest reliable suppliers and for them to trust us. We've formed a great working relationship with them so you don't have to.
The words “cheap” and “quality” don't really go together in the fashion manufacturing industry. Cheap can mean unethical, low quality, and bad business ethics. OL only works with ethical high quality manufacturers that produce high quality garments consistently. However our prices are the best in the market offering low minimum orders to help get start ups off the ground.

At OL, we only share your design details with the ethical manufacturers in our network whom we trust. Producers and manufacturers are generally not interested in marketing and selling their own products. They stick to what they do best. When you’re not in production, your intellectual property is stored securely for protection against design exposure. And we have strict confidentiality clauses in our terms and conditions to guard against this. We also reccommend that you don't publicly (by social media or otherwise) launch pre pictures of your designs until you are launching. This will ensure other designers, who are most likely the ones to steal your creative design ideas, don't do so before you have even launched.
