Start Your Project
Our in-house label, Numbat Fashion — started here as a small idea, now a slow-fashion brand.”
Our Own Brand Story
From Idea to Collection – Our Own Startup Journey
At Numbat House of Apparel, we know exactly what it takes to launch a fashion brand — because we’ve done it ourselves.
Numbat Fashion, our in-house womenswear label, began as a start-up project just two years ago in the very same Norfolk studio where we now support other founders.
From initial sketches and 3D designs to pattern cutting, sampling, and small-batch production, we developed the full brand journey here at Numbat House.
Today, Numbat Fashion is a slow-fashion label known for handmade, small-batch collections crafted in Norfolk and inspired by British heritage and timeless design — proof that beautiful ideas can grow into successful brands with the right support.
Let us help you bring your vision to life, just as we did with ours.

Testimonials
I reached out to Numbat House of Apparel after following them on socials and being so engaged with how they communicated their service offering and all the amazing tips and industry information they shared. At this time I was seeking large scale production so met with Galina at their fabulous London office and we spoke about my brand and this specific piece of work.
I currently work with another two manufacturers and can honestly say how overly impressed I am with NumbatHouse of Apparel . From sampling to pattern creating and then full scale production this has been a clear, transparent and fast moving project. Numbat House of Apparel is a very experienced designer and knows this sector inside out, she made recommendations to my current lines which improved fit even more and her consultancy skills experience regarding sourcing have been so helpful and reassuring at a very stressful time.
Every item of this production was barcoded, tagged and bagged and the packing and distribution service was first class. Whether you are at idea stage, a start-up or looking to scale your business or seeking a long term partnership, I can highly recommend Numbat House of Apparel and can’t wait to develop new ideas together.

“ Numbat House of Apparel and team have been great to work with at every stage of the process. They was so informative initially when I had an idea of a clothing brand, but didn’t know much further than that about how to get going, then with the designs and the manufacturing stages they have been great. The quality of clothing produced was to a very high level and the attention to detail on the packaging was fantastic. Highly recommend.”
