BUSINESS OPERATING SCALE

Building Fashion Home From Product Idea to Full Operations

The Management Shift

I moved from outsourced manufacturing to an in-house workshop to gain greater control over quality, timing and brand consistency, building a small production team and managing the process directly.

The Context

Fashion Home started as a home-textile brand selling bed sheets, duvet covers and pillowcases through B2C and B2B channels. What began with outsourced production gradually developed into a hands-on operation covering sourcing, manufacturing, e-commerce, marketing, fulfillment and customer service.

The Challenge

Running the business meant balancing product quality, production capacity, cash flow, customer expectations and changing market conditions at the same time. Inflation, declining margins, logistics issues, returns and operational complexity increasingly tested the sustainability of the model.

MY ROLE IN BUILDING & OPERATING FASHIONHOME

From Product Concept to Full Business Operations

I managed FashionHome end-to-end, transforming a bedding product idea into a complete operating business. My role covered product sourcing, manufacturing coordination, brand development, e-commerce, marketing, customer experience and daily operations across six years.

01

Product Development

Managed the full product cycle from fabric sourcing and supplier coordination to cutting, sewing, quality control and final packaging. Built an internal production capability by investing in sewing machines and managing full-time and part-time tailoring teams.

02

Brand Building & E-Commerce

Developed the FashionHome brand identity, built the Shopify store from the ground up, managed product pages, payments, shipping setup, analytics and created the digital foundation for direct-to-consumer sales.

03

Marketing, Sales & Customer Operations

Handled Meta Ads, photography, video content, offers, customer communication, order confirmation, complaints, returns and after-sales support while managing CRM tracking and sales follow-up.
