Small Batch Supply is the direct evolution of RB Patterns (operating since 2014). Building on our established reputation for technical excellence and decades of experience in pattern making, grading and sample development. We recognised a critical need to offer technical support that directly translates to success for emerging designers and start-ups. We provide genuine, real-world pathways to successfully launch your brand, focusing on practical outcomes rather than generic courses or costly financial retainers.

We bring the proven success of our heritage into your journey:

The same high standards and deep industry knowledge that define RB Patterns underpin Small Batch Supply. Leveraging over 30 years of global fashion experience—from initial concept to final manufacturing—to form trustful, transparent pathways for your brand's success.

· Strong Connections

We connect you at every stage, from concept and sample making through to careful production partnering. A simplified pathway helping you focus on the brand launch.

Your Creative Journey, Simplified

We’ve designed our process to be transparent and supportive, ensuring you feel empowered from your very first idea to the final product. We believe in collaboration over complexity—no gatekeeping, no exclusivity.

Here’s how we bring your vision to life:

1. The Vision Kick-Start

· We start with a free, no-obligation chat. The only agenda? Exploring the potential of your ideas: “What would you like to create?”

2. Clear Path Forward

· Once we understand your unique vision, we completely demystify the process. We break down every stage in plain, straightforward language so you always know what to expect. “Here’s how we do that.”

3. Equipped for Success

· We provide a quote for the initial stages discussed and equip you with the resources you need to move forward feeling supported and confident.

Let's explore your vision together. [Schedule a No-Obligation Consultation]

· Flexible & Accessible: Our focus is on flexibility. We work with our manufacturing partners to offer lower, accessible MOQs to help you launch without excessive upfront costs or inventory risk. We create lasting connections for you that grow with you.

• Local production Cut-and-sew knits: from 20 units total (all colours and sizes combined) Woven garments: from 25 units total, subject to garment complexity

• Offshore production From 50 units per style, with the exact minimum varying by style.

Each design is unique, which means each presents a different cost structure. Rest assured, we work closely with clients to supply transparent quotes and ensure a clear journey. After the no obligation or fee consult, we will send you a quote. If you wish to go ahead, we get you in for a deeper design handover which incurs a minor fee based on time and difficulty, this can be supplied in the initial quote, so you have all the information you need to make a sound decision.

At Small Batch Supply, we understand the unique challenges of launching a brand. Our values are built to support your vision with integrity and transparency, offering a clear path for your journey:

· Your Ethical Foundation: We ensure every partner in our supply chain adheres to fair and just practices, allowing you to build an ethical brand from day one without the guesswork.

· Sustainable Growth: Launch your collection responsibly. Growing your brand with intention and purpose, it’s not a race.

No Formal Experience? No Problem.
