Building a successful apparel business just got easier…..
You’re just seconds away from the essential tools, resources, and community you need to run and grow a profitable, purposeful apparel brand.
Does any of this sound familiar?
- You have launched your products, but your business is disorganized, and a bit all over the place, and this stresses you out.
- You want to work smarter, not harder, and get systems and tools to help you do that.
- You’re tired of Googling and Youtubing and DIYing everything apparel entrepreneurship, and you want a one-stop-shop to get the tools and resources to just implement.
- You don’t want to create all the business and product documents from scratch, you want to get proven templates and downloadables so you can save time and mistakes.
- You know what you want to accomplish but you don’t have the actual tools, resources and connections to get you there.
- You need high quality tools like tech pack templates, product range lists, checklists, etc.
- You need access to supplier and manufacturer databases, worldwide.
- You feel lonely in your entrepreneurship journey and want a community of likeminded peers to discuss, bounce ideas, and feel connected to.
Then The Members' Club Is For Your
DOWNLOADABLE TEMPLATES

The Members’ Club will help you to:

Here’s what inspired us to build this place:
- When we launched our own 2 apparel brands we couldn’t find all the tools needed to start and run a profitable apparel business. We had to create all of them from scratch and it took us a loooong time.
- They don’t tech you all this in fashion school, you normally have to get all the knowledge and tools from working in the industry.
- Being an entrepreneur can feel lonely, and we wanted to be connected to likeminded peers all over the globe.

Here’s what other members have to say about the Members' Club:
“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. “
-Charlie Pollard
AE Member – USA
“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.”
-Joonas Luotonen
AE Member – Finland
“I’ve been struggling with my clothing brand for some time. After joining AE, I accomplished things in only one month I didn’t think was possible. I have saved so much time… and money. Now it feels as if I have a private mentor sitting right next to me, telling me exactly what to do. I highly recommend AE to everyone that wants to grow their clothing brand.”

Not sure if the Members' Club is right for you?
The Apparel Entrepreneurship Members’ Club is NOT for everyone.
We’d prefer to help you figure out if it’s right for you or not before you join, so you don’t have to waste your time or money….
The Members' Club is for:
- Apparel Entrepreneurs who are in the startup phase, working on your designs and product development and want to start your business in an organized, efficient manner.
- Apparel Entrepreneurs who have an existing business and want to optimize their operations, search for new supply chain partners and take their business to the next level.
- Action takers who aren’t just gonna download tools and never do anything with them. You need to implement the stuff and do the work, to actually get results.
The Members' Club is NOT for
- People who want to start an apparel business, that have just an idea and need a step-by-step framework. If that is the case THIS is much better suited for you.
- People looking for quick fixes and get rich fast solutions. Even though our tools and resources are designed to save you time and eventually money, you need to do the work it takes to run a profitable apparel business. The Members' Club is not an overnight success pill.
- If you are looking for IDEAS to start your brand, the Members' Club is not for you.
- If you want personal support and coaching to build and grow your apparel business, then THIS is probably what you need.
We think the Members' Club is awesome. As we mentioned, we wished we had this platform when we started out, but don’t just take our word for it. Hear what other people have to say about it:
“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. Ana and Klas 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.”

AE Member – Sweden
“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 Ana & Klas!”
-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! “

There is NOTHING like the Apparel Entrepreneurship Membership program anywhere else. Yes, there are other fashion startup memberships out there, but none of them has the resources, engineered tools, extensive databases, support, and mentoring from people who actually work in the industry today, like inside the AE Members’ Club.
The Membership is THE ONE PLACE that combines everything you need to run and scale your business.
You can see the Membership as an addition to the courses and the coaching we offer.
In the courses you get the step-by-steps and the frameworks, and inside the membership you have access to all the tools, databases, calculators, resources and supportive community.
