“Apparel Entrepreneurship is such a valuable asset to any clothing brand. Ana and Klas both have a wealth of experience from setting up their own brands which means that the advice, based on these experiences, is realistic and actionable. They provide useful resources to help brands learn about the elements required for running a clothing line, and the tools and templates offered here are extremely valuable as they are hard to find elsewhere. “

“Apparel Entrepreneurship’s focused pool of information, contacts, and templates is a service that I couldn’t get anywhere else. I am coming from another industry and for me, AE is both a crash course and a support system to make my development process both faster and more accurate. I’m also looking forward to seeing how the community grows and I expect that to be another source of valuable information and support as I’m preparing to launch and then grow my brand.”

What makes the Members'Club Different?
WE WALK THE TALK
We have worked with hundreds and hundreds of apparel brands and helped them start and grow their businesses.
Alongside Apparel Entrepreneurship we also run a Technical Apparel Design Agency where we work in the industry and apply everything we teach to midsize -big brands.
NO B.S
As you know, we hate BS, fluff, and blah blah. We want to go straight to the point, straight to the action and implementation. Therefore, all our content is pure value.
A GOLD MINE
All the material inside is accumulated and perfected from 20 years in the apparel industry. Many of the tools, templates, and calculators only exist inside the Members’ Club, and nowhere else.
PEER SUPPORT
You are the average of the 5 people you hang out with. Your community and your peers help you level up and reach higher than you would by yourself. As entrepreneurs, we’re sometimes so much in our heads. We can’t think straight, and having help from other peers in the same situation can be extremely valuable for your growth.
MORE THAN PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
The Members’ Club is for all stages of your business; management, finances, branding, product development, marketing, and sales.
ALWAYS WITH YOU
24/h access. Get access to all material whenever you need it. From your office, when you’re at the factory working on your products, or when you are in a meeting. Access from your computer or your phone.
And something else you may not know…
Everything that exists in the Members’ Club is also used when working with our international clients through our Design Agency. We use those tools, databases, and resources EVERY DAY, because they work!
Testimonials
“Starting my own brand seemed like a too big of a project for me to embark on. I didn’t know where to start, what questions to ask or where to turn. The team at Apparel Entrepreneurship, helped me with everything! Their combined knowledge and experience is impressive. They set the tone for what was to come, they gave me guidance of where to start, from branding, marketing, hangtags, to neck and size labels, to patterns, fabric, and manufacturer hunting. They walked with me every step of the way and having them as a guide made the journey feel safer and they do push things forward. You’re never standing still and if I ever had any questions – they’re super quick to answer. The best part was that they are so passionate and invested in the work that they do. They genuinely care and they want you to succeed.”

“Apparel Entrepreneurship helped me to finally start working with confidence on my brand. I did not know anything about how to start fashion brand etc. The amount of knowledge and information that is available from Apparel Entrepreneurship is invaluable. It guided me into the right direction when it came to what to do and what not do to. Thank you Apparel Entrepreneurship!”
-Phil Nelson
AE Member – Holland
“I started my company with basically zero knowledge about the apparel industry. With no network, no experience not even basic industry knowledge. The complexity of it is frightening ….so frightening, that at one point I was on the verge of giving up. And this is when I came across the Apparel Entrepreneurship community. It was like getting a structured handbook – it’s extremely useful! Access to many years of industry expert knowledge, giving me a strong basis and opening my eyes to directions, trends and necessities I haven’t even though of before……and whenever I’m stuck or in doubt, I can always count on the community to help me out. I can’t express how grateful I am to Ana and Klas for starting this! Thank you! “
