Product Strategy & Sustainable Sourcing for Founder-Led Fashion Brands

Factory Sourcing Retail Strategy Sustainability Range Building Low MOQs

Hi, I'm Natalie Binns, founder of Better Fashion Consultancy

I founded Better Fashion Consultancy after a successful career as a fashion buyer for global brands including ASOS and Allsaints.

 

For over a decade, I built commercial ranges, negotiated with factories and managed product at scale. I understand how to protect and grow margin, how suppliers operate and what actually drives sales.

 

But I also saw the pressure behind the scenes, the race to the bottom on price, the increasing speed, the inevitable compromises.

 

So I took what I’d learned in 'big fashion' and redirected it.

Now two decades into my career, I support fashion brands to build commercially strong product ranges with supply chains they can stand behind. 

Because a better fashion industry needs brands that are both responsible and resilient.

Helping founder-led fashion brands make better product and sourcing decisions

Because going viral won't fix: 

  • A product that doesn’t quite land with your customer​​

  • Hidden costs that quietly erode your margin

  • Overdeveloped ranges that drain your budget and your time..

  • .. while your bestsellers run out of stock, again.

  • Weak supplier relationships that prevent you from being reactive

  • Sustainability claims you can’t confidently stand behind

Brands that scale sustainably, don't just market better. 

They build better product, supported by better supply chains.

Don't wait to get caught out by your customers, build trust from day one with a supply chain you can stand behind.

Omnes launched a brand with me

"Natalie is very passionate and knowledgeable about sustainability. She is extremely hardworking and was managing lots of different people, factories and suppliers for a soon to
launch new brand at the time. There was a lot going on and an enormous amount of pressure on her but she handled everything promptly and professionally and always with a smile on her face. I could not recommend her enough."

Jakke worked with me to strengthen sustainability

"Natalie Binns has been an invaluable asset to Jakke, providing exceptional guidance on sustainability practices.

 

Natalie's insightful recommendations, strategic approach, and passion for sustainability have not only positively impacted our brand image but have also fostered a genuine sense of responsibility within our team.

 

Working with her has been a transformative experience, and we highly recommend Natalie for anyone seeking a knowledgeable and proactive advisor in the realm of sustainability and fashion."

P joined my supplier masterclass

"It was a super helpful session, really enjoyed it and Natalie was honest and practical throughout. Honestly it was a way more useful hour and a half than a whole week's course i did a UAL last year! It really felt like it was being run by someone who knew what they were talking about. So thank you!"
