This Fashion Brand Was Growing Fast, But the Supply Chain Was Slowing Them Down

A high-end fashion brand had just landed a major department store deal. To fulfill orders, they needed to place a €400K order with their overseas manufacturer. But the factory demanded upfront payment, and the brand’s cash was still locked in pre-season marketing and R&D.

👗 The challenge:

• No production without full payment
• Risk of losing their biggest distribution partner
• Bank finance too slow, and too conditional
