Nichole Rairigh – Founder and CEO of The Apparel Agency
Nichole Rairigh started a Children’s Clothing line called Ashor’s Room, named after her first daughter. Like many of their amazing and fearless clients, she thought it would be “easy”, especially because of her design background and the fact that it was kids clothing. Nichole took to the street to find material reps, contractors, and eventually built an in-house/local development and production house for the brand. She had to grow fast and learn the ropes quickly since she was selling and getting great placements within magazines and other media outlets, however, factories still found her a bit too green to proceed with a working partnership. So, After attending trade shows, going coast to coast and abroad looking for ANYONE who would work with her little/big brand, she decided it made the most sense for her small business to do “behind the scenes” work internally. After 6 strong years, she decided to retire the brand for personal and professional reasons. As she announced her “retirement” to her peers, they started for her to work for them to develop and produce their lines through her local resources. Nichole thought “ok, why not…” and conceptually The Apparel Agency was born. Nichole realized there was a lot of “her” out there that needed help bridging the gap between them and the factory, and in the same turn of events, she realized factory’s needed them too. The Apparel Agency works with clients to launch, grow, and sustain their brand. They provide full-scope brand management and product development services specializing in the apparel industry. From concept to consumer, they explore, refine and execute your vision by working through the client’s concept’s full potential, creating successful products that are ready to market.
