substanz for artavazd paris

An Exciting Sourcing Project for Young Luxury Brand – Artavazd Paris, that grew into larger collaboration and a COO contract for Substanz.

At Substanz, we are more than a consulting and manufacturing firm — we are a trusted sourcing and operations partner. We support emerging brands working under tight deadlines to secure the materials, services, and infrastructure needed to successfully develop and launch their collections.

Our expertise spans the full sourcing ecosystem: from fabrics and trims to strategic services such as showroom research, contract negotiation, buyer database development and maintenance, as well as outreach and follow-up with buyers. Backed by deep market knowledge, a strong network of manufacturing partners (benefiting from preferred client terms), and an in-house creative team of illustrators, graphic designers, and image editors, we are equipped to take on complex, fast-paced projects.

The Creative Director and Founder of Artavazd Paris, an emerging French luxury brand, approached Substanz to collaborate on their debut SS26 collection. Working within tight timelines for both production and lookbook delivery, the brand required a reliable and agile partner.

We took on the challenge and, within just two months, successfully sourced, negotiated, and delivered sustainable, fully natural trims and ancillary textiles, primarily linings. This initial collaboration evolved into a broader sourcing and COO partnership for the FW26 collection and continues with the ongoing development of the SS27 collection.
