Cydney is incredibly knowledgeable, organized and HELPFUL. If you're starting a product-based business, do your business a favour and take Cydney up on this offer.

It allowed me to think in a more "business" way, aka: HIRE people to do almost everything that is not in our zone of genius.

Cydney Mar Design

Fashion for me always started with the fabrics ~ the touch, the colors, the look, the feel. Let's dream into what fabrics would be right for YOUR Collections

Making the Patterns

And creating just the right shape and form for each design is an art unto itself. The architectural precision required, the sensibility of the nature of the fabric to create the design you envision.

Skilled Sample Makers

To bring your ideas to life, the sample makers make all the difference in the way your brand tells its story. It is a story of the outdoors? Or is it a story of charming nursery rhymes? Each stitch speaks volumes.
