Who we are

 

Conceptable has been continuously providing fashion business consulting services for the past 20 years. We never work off the cuff and always have more than a few tricks up our sleeve to help take your clothing brand and your people to the next level.

 

The past two decades have taught us that adaptation is crucial as technology continues to evolve at pace. That’s why we have refined our services to address the key difficulties you face today, with a forward-thinking approach reliant on deep insight and experience.

 

We are practical, methodical, and systematic, using tried and trusted processes to ensure sustainable long-term results. Approachable, honest, and always ready to listen with an open mind, we have a reputation for offering a refreshing new perspective.

 

We know good tailoring is important, which is why we always customise our services to suit your requirements. The result is a completely bespoke fashion business strategy that speaks to your unique vision, needs, and goals.

What we do

 

In short, we can be the business coach, mentor or change agent for your fashion, sportswear, or lifestyle brand.

 

This means we can help you and your teams:

 

Learn how to strategically improve or adapt in an ever-evolving marketplace.

Learn how to stimulate growth in a fashion or lifestyle product business.

Understand how to scale your brand during periods of growth.

Manage challenges, a crisis, restructuring or redirection.

 

A fashion business consultant does more than just drive growth. We are on hand to help you navigate major changes and challenges, whether you are managing rapid expansion, operational change or dealing with declining sales.

 

Our mentoring services are ideal for those seeking advice and insight on the evolution of an established brand, while our consultancy services provide comprehensive strategic direction. Our talented consultants and network of partners can also help with the execution of strategic decisions where required.

 

We can offer crisis management, although the majority of our clients come to us for advice on the opposite. When dealing with rapid growth, old processes are outgrown faster than a kid’s new school shoes. Significant challenges of a new size and magnitude need addressing with skill and expertise – there is no longer room for trial and error. We can provide decades of experience working with businesses just like yours, ready to deploy reliable techniques to scale up with style and finesse.

 

We also provide services targeting specific business needs, from supply chain and production strategy to branding and product development direction. Click here to view our consultancy and mentoring services in more detail.

 

The trends and technologies in the industry as a whole move as quickly as those on the catwalk. We can offer direction and support to help you manage these shifts while using them to your advantage  – either through our core consultancy team or via our its.fashion specialist division. This means capitalising on efficiency and automation, using digital assets to accelerate success.


Why work with us

 

Our mission is simple. We aim to grow both our business and yours, helping the fashion industry evolve for the better. We have the access to the experienced talent to help and achieve these goals. Not only that, but we combine core assignments with a determination to embed efficiency whilst striving for sustainable fashion growth. This includes long-lasting, financially viable strategies and reducing the environmental footprint of the industry at large.

 

Over the past 20 years, we have executed hundreds of projects for reputable brands and retailers in a variety of countries from the UK. You can find some of the more recent clients below. We also work with a network of trusted partners to deliver the most optimum results, particularly when it comes to strategy execution. If you are interested in working with us, please get in touch.
