WEBINARS
We're excited to announce a series of webinars lead by our Founder, Mindy Martell. After 10 years of developing Clothier Design Source and becoming a leader in USA made apparel production, we decided that it was time to share some of the knowledge that we've learned along the way. In the interest of bringing apparel production back to the USA and making the process easier for small companies, we are offering our series for FREE. We truly want to make manufacturing more simple, and help you turn your idea into a reality. Our schedule and details of each session are listed below. Can't make the time? No worries, we will archive each show on our Youtube channel. Enjoy!
