In a world dominated by fast fashion, socio-economic disruptions are driving consumers to focus on basic requirements, steering them away from splurging on high-quality products. Bags, for instance, are largely seen as a basic requirement, with consumers caring very little about their quality, build, material, and other details. However, a zeal for utilizing products that align with current fashion trends still exists, with individuals seeking styling and modern designs that reflect their unique style.
To fulfill this market demand, and cater to consumers at both ends of the spectrum, including those looking for economical yet stylish solutions, as well as those seeking high-quality goods, Sudipta Kumar Aich founded Stitchfine. An upcoming organization, Stitchfine is manufacturing a wide variety of bags, wallets, card holders, passport holders, and keychains to cater to a diverse global market. Spearheading geographical penetration across the European, U.S., and Indian markets, the company is building a comprehensive portfolio of products, uniquely designed to meet the regional requirements aptly.
Diverse Product Range
Identifying the specific market requirements in every region, Stitchfine is creating an assortment of products, varying in designs and materials to attract the audience in that segment. The firm manufactures products in diverse categories and in multiple materials including canvas, PU, leather, and vegan leather, to name a few, ensuring it has something for every market segment it caters.
For the European market, the company is currently targeting bottomline product range, catering to the larger market requirement of cost-effective bags, wallets, and more. Simultaneously, the company is only focusing on leather goods for the U.S. market, which still relies on China for other product categories, but is increasingly shifting focus towards India for leather goods.
The company is also focusing on sustainability, ensuring it possesses the required certifications demanded by the varied markets. Moreover, the company emphasizes onboarding material suppliers who also have the required certifications, and whose materials pass physical and chemical testing. While physical testing is performed in-house, the firm collaborates with leading chemical labs, subjecting the materials to comprehensive testing to assess the chemical composition of materials aligned with the specific market demands.
“The amount of damage we have already done to the environment has made it mandatory for us to now prioritize sustainability and environmental wellbeing. So, we assure that our raw materials, our processes, and our end products are in line with the various certification requirements, reinforcing our sustainability focus”, says Sudipta Kumar Aich, Founder & Managing Director, Stitchfine.
