// Taperhouse is a Design and Sourcing Agency for Denim and Activewear.

We offer a wide range of product development and manufacturing services:

01Design

At Taperhouse, we thrive on crafting standout products that captivate and sell. Our team of designers, patternmakers and textile technicians is dedicated to ensuring the perfect fit, meticulously shaping each piece to align with brand identity and current trends.
By staying on the pulse of fashion, we quickly bring these designs from concept to market.

02Fabric Sourcing

Our global network of sustainable fabric mills provides access to high-quality materials that align with both your brand values and budget. We can deliver eco-friendly options without compromising on cost-effectiveness.
Beyond fabrics, we offer guidance on trims and accessories—small details that make a big impact on design, pricing and lead times.

 

03Denim Lab

Our Denim Lab is a dedicated sampling room where we experiment with designs, washes and fits, allowing us to quickly produce samples that meet your vision.
Sustainability is at the core of our process: we prioritize eco-friendly washing techniques that reduce chemical usage and we leverage laser technology for a cleaner, more sustainable finish.

04Supply Chain Management

We carefully evaluate our reliable suppliers to find the best fit for your specific design, quality, quantity and lead time requirements.
Once a style is ready for production, we take charge of managing all supply chain processes to ensure a seamless experience.
Our quality control ensures that there are no bad surprises.

// Our 3-Step Process:

Rethinking Leadtimes and Product Development to Meet Customer Needs.

1
design and Sample

Every great product starts with an idea that turns into a sample. We always give brands data driven design and fabric input so they know what’s possible. Once a design is picked, we streamline the sampling process with our CLO 3-D designers and patternmakers to increase speed, reduce friction and create the perfect fit.

2
test

Testing new designs in small quantities is a smart and sustainable approach, helping to mitigate the risk of overproduction. We offer low MOQ solutions for both established and emerging brands. With a diverse range of stock fabrics ready for dyeing, printing, or washing, we have  some aces up the sleeve to get you that MOQ you need.

3
scale
Once a design is thoroughly tested and proven successful, we transition it into bulk production.
Our expertise in Critical Path Management allows us to optimize the manufacturing schedule, preventing delays and ensuring efficient scaling. 
This process helps us maintain competitive lead times while increasing production quantities.

Sebastian Harder

I lead Taperhouse fueled by a passion for people, products and long-term partnerships. As the fashion market rapidly evolves, brands are increasingly focused on securing good margins for bulk orders while developing fast-selling, trend-driven, high-quality products with short lead times. We’ve crafted solutions to address these challenges. My team and I assist both established fashion brands and startups in designing and sourcing trend-driven Denim and Activewear product lines, improving quality, lead times, cost efficiency and supply chain performance. With our specialization and extensive global network in the Denim and Activewear sectors, we provide you with highly specialized expertise.
