Los Angeles, CA ̶ 17-May-2023: The COP 27 recognized the shortcomings of the fashion industry toward the global industrial movement of carbon neutrality. As much as the conscious consumer is looking to support sustainable production, the fashion industry is still struggling to minimize its environmental impact. Lefty Production Co., a men’s and women’s wear manufacturer in Los Angeles, has introduced waste reduction methods in its production processes to create sustainable fashion lines.
Sampling is a process in manufacturing that requires excessive back and forth between the manufacturer and designers to arrive at the right fits, color, size, and cut of the designs. Manual sampling involves using fabric to create multiple samples and altering them until they meet the designer’s vision. Fabric sourcing is one of the key expenses in making a fashion line. Manual sampling takes up a lot of raw material, labor, and time.
The manufacturer uses CAD to sample designs digitally. These designs manifest in 3-D models and can be altered and corrected to meet the designer’s vision in lesser time. In this way, the company avoids wasting fabric and saves time, labor, and capital.
The company uses laser-cutting technology to create precise marks and cuts on fabric before it is stitched into garments. A laser’s precision in cutting fabric is more efficient than manual cutting and also helps avoid human error in dimensions. This leads to less wastage of raw materials.
Since some of the biggest environmental and social concerns for the fashion industry arise through their use of fabric, reducing fabric use and wastage helps the company become more sustainable.
A representative of the manufacturer remarked, “Our production methods are suited to conserving as much as we can. Our fabric use is very calculated, and we use the latest laser-cutting technology and computer-aided design to ensure we don’t use more fabric than necessary. We also think this helps designers cut their costs because a huge load of wastage is avoided. I believe sustainable fashion is the future, and it is achievable in this lifetime.”
Lefty Production Co. believes it has a responsibility toward the community and environment, which is why it also helps procure fabric from ethical sources for its clients.
