Kind words from our customers

  • “After having no experience at all within the knitwear industry. I had an idea that I knew would sell. But trying to translate this idea into knitwear terms and factory terminology was proving hard. I was having a sample being made in a factory and the sizing and weight of garment was not right. After three failed attempts it was no where near right. After googling, I found Yakshi. Game changer! Not only did she work through a bank holiday. She produced a pack design that made everything so simple in all the sizes I required. She calmed my nerves immediately. Give me loads of advice on top of producing a perfect pack reigns. She literally translated everything I wanted and sizing into manufacturing terms. After supplying this pack design to the factory, my final sample was perfect and so were the other sizes I requested. No more back and forth between myself and factory. I am using Yakshi again next month. She has given me the confidence to produce other items as I know she will do the same amazing job again and again. I look forward to working with her again and and again.“

  • “As an industry outsider working on starting my own women's fashion label with a focus on knitwear, it was critical for me to find someone who could produce professional standard tech packs and who also understood the technical issues involved in knitwear production. Yakshi did a great job of translating my design ideas into tech packs and advising on technical production issues. A pleasure to work with. Thank you“

  • "Yakshi provided all the extra clarification in order to get an amazing product. She was very quick to respond to any questions I had and quickly made changes I needed. Her knowledge and skill have provided my brand the ability to grow! Looking forward to working with her in the future”

    Brittnie Kay, Per Aspera Adastra

  • "It was a pleasure working with Yakshi, very well organised and listened to what ideas I had in mind. As this was my first time working with someone that produced tech packs, Yakshi's knowledge on what I need was indeed helpful and also gave manufacturers that would best suit the garments I wished to produce. Great when it came to adding adjustments to my tech packs and also works exceptionally well to deadlines. The communication was excellent and overall would work again with Yakshi in the future."
