“Seamless Source gave us the competitive edge we needed. Our customers no longer just buy a t-shirt; they buy a story. The ability to show them exactly where their garment came from, and all the ethical and environmental details behind it, has transformed the way they see our brand. Seamless Team is very helpful and genuine, I wish them all the best”   – Makenzie Black –  Overview of Roamwear’s Success Story Roamwear is more than a US clothing brand; it’s a commitment to the planet. Their products, including the popular Bamboo T-shirt, are crafted from sustainable fibres like bamboo and organic cotton. This ethical foundation is core to their brand identity. While their commitment to being “soft on your skin, gentle on the planet” was a strong starting point, Roamwear faced a common challenge for classic apparel brands: how to stand out in a saturated market and prove their claims of ethical and carbon-conscious production. They needed a powerful competitive advantage that went beyond traditional marketing. The Problem They Had Roamwear’s commitment to sustainability was clear, but they faced three key challenges in bringing their vision to life: Finding the Right Supply Chain: They needed to find value chain partners that matched their specific ethical and sustainability requirements. Gathering Supply Chain Data: Once the partners were identified, collecting and verifying accurate information across every tier of the supply chain was a complex and time-consuming process. Verifying Material Integrity: Roamwear needed a way to prove that their raw materials, such as bamboo and organic cotton, were non-toxic and met their strict quality standards. Our Approach Our first step was a comprehensive feasibility study and a deep dive with the Roamwear team. We spent time understanding their specific brand values and requirements, which allowed us to identify and vet the perfect value chain partners. Our team then managed the entire process of sourcing and managing these partners, which allowed us to build out their complete value chain from scratch. Once the value chain was established, we used our platform to gather, verify, and manage all the necessary data. This process turned a complex, time-consuming task into a streamlined, automated workflow, giving Roamwear peace of mind and the verified data they needed to build their transparent story. Results As a direct result, Roamwear gained a powerful competitive advantage. We provided them with full supply chain transparency, a critical element that went beyond traditional marketing.  The Digital Product Passport enabled their customers to instantly see the entire journey of their t-shirt, from the source of the bamboo and organic cotton to the final manufacturing facility. This unparalleled visibility, combined with proof of rigorous certifications and environmental details, created a new layer of trust and value. It empowered customers to make more informed decisions, knowing they were supporting a brand that was genuinely committed to sustainability. Outcome The outcome was providing Roamwear with our powerful Digital Product Passport technology. This included unparalleled supply chain transparency, delivered through two key features. First, a simple QR code on each product label gives customers instant access to the entire value chain and a transparent story of the product. Second, the Digital Product Passport was embedded directly into Roamwear’s website, giving their customers instant access to a powerful digital narrative. This provided proof of their rigorous certifications and a commitment to responsible sourcing, from the first stitch to the final product. It also enabled customers to provide feedback directly, further strengthening the brand-customer relationship and giving Roamwear the boost it needed.

“As a founder, finding the right supply chain was one of the most important decisions I had to make, as the new collection was complex and specialised. When I came across Seamless Source and went through their supply chain management process, I knew I had found a team I could trust. From the start, they were professional, communicative, and dedicated to quality. They understood my designs and helped bring them to life exactly as I envisioned. The final pieces were beautifully made, and the response from my customers has been incredible.”   — Kinzie McClintick, Founder — Kinzie Quinn is the founder of a bold womenswear brand known for strength, elegance, and professionalism. Her goal was to create standout pieces, especially blazers that help women feel confident whether they’re at work, attending events, or going about their day. By partnering closely with Seamless Source, Kinzie brought four key styles to life that truly reflect her brand’s focus on clean tailoring, attention to detail, and feminine strength. This collaboration combined her design vision with Seamless Source’s manufacturing expertise, ensuring the final products stayed true to her ideas while maintaining high quality and efficient production. Customer Background Kinzie comes from a background in corporate leadership, and her own experience shaped her understanding of what women truly need in their wardrobes. She launched her brand, Kinzie Quinn, to give women strong, elevated wardrobe pieces, particularly blazers, that go beyond just looking good. She wanted pieces that feel powerful when worn. Her specific requirements included: Clean, sharp tailoring with high-end construction A manufacturing partner that could understand her vision A transparent process from design to delivery The ability to maintain premium quality at manageable production volumes Ethical Supply chain with standards and certifications Seamless Source Solution When Kinzie approached us, we knew we had to deliver more than just manufacturing; we needed to provide precision, technical accuracy, and build trust. Blazers are complex to produce because they require careful construction both inside and out to look and fit perfectly. We focused on every detail that shapes a blazer’s fit, such as shaping the shoulders, setting the right sleeve angle, and choosing the correct interfacing and lining. These elements give the blazer a strong structure while keeping it comfortable to wear. We also selected high-quality fabrics that hold their shape well but still allow easy movement. Attention to detail was crucial, so we ensured consistent stitching, smooth lining, and hand-finished touches on lapels, collars, and buttons for a polished look. Throughout the entire process, Kinzie was able to track every step thanks to the Seamless Source platform. This transparency kept her informed and confident. We maintained close communication, regularly sharing updates, samples, and timelines, making sure she was involved as a creative partner every step of the way. Overcoming Challenges During Production Every new collection comes with its share of challenges, and Kinzie’s launch was no exception. From sourcing the right materials to aligning lead times and ensuring consistent quality, each stage required precision, flexibility, and teamwork. Below are key areas where we overcame hurdles to deliver a successful outcome, without compromise. Fabric  Like any new collection, there were challenges along the way, especially when working with tailored, structured pieces like blazers. One of the biggest hurdles was sourcing the perfect fabrics that combined durability with the right feel and drape Kinzie demanded. We also had to refine the fit through several rounds of sampling to achieve the balance between sharp tailoring and comfort. Lead time  Additionally, coordinating lead times between different suppliers while maintaining transparency could have complicated timelines. However, Seamless Source’s integrated supply chain platform and dedicated production management allowed us to stay ahead of potential delays, keep Kinzie fully informed, and adjust quickly to any issues. Ensuring Quality – A Proactive, End-to-End Approach At Seamless Source, we care about quality from the very beginning, not just at the end. For Kinzie Quinn’s blazer collection, we followed a clear step-by-step process to make sure every piece was made perfectly. Here’s how we did it: PP Sampling (Pre-Production Samples): Before production even began, we created samples and shared them with Kinzie to review. This helped us confirm all the details from fabric to stitching were exactly how she wanted them. First-Out Inspection: As soon as the first 10 pieces came off the production line, we carefully checked each one. Production only continued once all 10 passed the inspection, ensuring we were off to a solid, consistent start. Inline Inspection: While production was ongoing, our team kept a close eye on everything, the materials, the stitching, the fit, making sure nothing slipped through the cracks. This helped us catch and fix any issues right away. Pre-Final Inspection: Once about 70% of the order was complete, we did a more detailed check. This gave us time to make adjustments if anything wasn’t quite right, without delaying the overall timeline. Final Inspection: At the end, we inspected the full order to make sure every piece was up to standard. We offered either a 100% inspection or followed the AQL 2.5 quality standard, depending on what the client preferred. For Kinzie’s blazers, we did a full inspection to ensure everything was perfect. This proactive approach ensured that despite these challenges, the final products met Kinzie’s high standards without compromise, and the launch stayed on schedule. Success The result? Beautifully crafted styles are now featured in Kinzie’s official online store. Each piece embodies her bold, structured, and elegant aesthetic and has been positively received by customers seeking distinguished workwear. This achievement was made possible with Kinzie’s creative vision, combined with the expert support provided by Seamless Source. Leveraging our extensive manufacturing expertise and rigorous focus on technical precision, including tailored fit, construction quality, and durability, we ensured the blazers met the highest standards. Through the Seamless Source platform, Kinzie maintained full transparency and control over every stage of production, guaranteeing consistent quality from inception to completion. This collaborative approach enabled Kinzie to confidently transform her designs into finished products,

“Working with Seamless Source has been an incredibly smooth and professional experience from start to finish. The team was transparent throughout the entire process, keeping us informed and involved at every stage. They truly listened to our needs and brought our vision to life by creating a product that met all our specific requirements. We also appreciated how easy and efficient the collaboration was, communication was clear, timelines were met, and nothing ever felt complicated. We would confidently recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy partner in period wear manufacturing.” Natalie Lyall‑Grant and Shiza MalikCo-Founders of Kynd Period In today’s FemTech landscape, menstrual care products are evolving beyond basic functionality. Women are demanding comfort, style, and reliability, and Kynd is one of the few brands truly listening. Kynd is more than just a period wear brand. It is a forward thinking brand committed to creating sustainable, comfortable, and inclusive menstrual care products. What makes Kynd truly special is that for every pair of period underwear sold, another is donated to an asylum seeker, refugee, or someone in need in the UK.  Kynd’s Mission “ To reduce plastic waste and ensure access to sustainable, ethical, and dignified menstrual products that are non-toxic, super comfortable, and leakproof for everyone.” Understanding the Challenges Faced by Kynd to find the solution Every product development journey carries its own set of hurdles. For Kynd Period, co-founders Shiza & Natalie faced a unique mix of technical and operational challenges in their mission to create truly ethical, high performance period underwear.  One major concern was the bulkiness of conventional products, many prioritise absorbency but compromise comfort, leaving wearers feeling heavy and restricted. Kynd was determined to change that by developing a sleeker, slimmer profile that retained high absorbency, ensuring both comfort and functionality. Leakage was one of the most critical concerns Kynd set out to solve. Traditional period underwear often failed to offer full protection, leading to leaks and causing stress for users during everyday activities. Kynd knew that for Kynd to truly make a difference, the product needed to offer dependable, high-performance absorbency without fail. That’s why the team focused on sourcing reliable, high-quality absorbent materials and implementing strict quality controls to ensure consistent performance with every wear. However, performance alone wasn’t enough. Kynd is committed to eliminating all chemical additives ensuring the final product. Operationally, one of the most pressing challenges was the lack of transparency in the industry. From sourcing to manufacturing, many brands fall short in offering traceability, leaving customers in the dark. Kynd set out to change this by working only with certified factories and materials, ensuring ethical labour practices and fair working conditions across its supply chain. The brand also faced the challenge of inconsistent product quality and fit, often caused by unreliable manufacturing standards. By choosing partners with third-party certifications, Kynd ensured not only quality control but also a strong ethical backbone. They were committed not only to innovation but to creating a product and process that their customers could trust completely. Seamless Source’s Tailored Solutions to Kynd At Seamless Source, we understood Kynd’s priorities right away because they align with our own. Our team took a personalised approach, working closely with Kynd to engineer a solution that was technically advanced, ethically made, and consumer-safe.  We’re happy to be the trusted production partner supporting Kynd in turning their innovative period wear ideas into real products. Using our expertise and skills, we’ve helped every step of the way by: Material: Finding safe, sustainable, and chemical-free fabrics Supply Chain: Making sure there is full transparency and working only with ethical, certified suppliers. Technology: Using smart tools to make product development and approvals easier. Construction: Building underwear that fits well, feels comfortable, and protects against leaks. Material When sourcing materials, we prioritise chemical safety and sustainable manufacturing practices. Since period underwear is a hygiene product, we place extra importance on selecting skin-safe, non-toxic fabrics that meet international quality standards. For this reason, we consider OEKO-TEX®-certified and PFAS-free fabrics in our production process. Supply chain We focused heavily on transparency. Through our Seamless Source platform, we connected Kynd directly with our certified suppliers, who offer tax benefits through the DCTS scheme and provide faster lead times. This allowed Kynd to communicate clearly with suppliers, understand their capabilities, and feel fully in control of the process. Kynd could trace the product journey from fabric sourcing to final production, and we made sure that everything aligned with Kynd’s expectations. Beyond product engineering, Kynd also cared deeply about ethical labour practices, and we delivered on that front by producing their product in our manufacturing units based in Sri Lanka. These units follow strict standards around fair wages, safe working conditions, and environmental compliance. Technology We introduced ultrasonic bonding technology. This technique replaces traditional stitching with heat-sealed seams, which not only reduces bulk but also eliminates leak points. It makes the final product smoother, lighter, and far more comfortable to wear, especially for longer hours.   Construction We also engineered a gusset with four specialised layers, designed to maximise absorption and comfort, tailored precisely for the target users. 1. Wicking Layer This top layer is designed to quickly draw moisture away from the skin, keeping the wearer dry and comfortable. It helps reduce the feeling of wetness and irritation. 2. Absorbent Layer Located beneath the wicking layer, this layer traps and holds fluid effectively. It’s engineered to provide high absorbency and eliminate leakage by locking in moisture. 3. Leak-Proof Layer This waterproof barrier prevents any liquid from seeping through to clothing. It adds a crucial level of protection and peace of mind. 4. Breathable Outer Layer The final outer layer allows airflow while maintaining protection. It ensures breathability to keep the product comfortable for all-day wear, preventing heat and moisture buildup. Results – Achieving Success Together Product success In the end, through close collaboration with our certified supplier and dedicated FemTech team, we successfully delivered a high-quality product tailored to Kynd’s vision. We’re incredibly proud
