Type Rare Clothing | Application Preview
Type Rare Clothing is seeking government grants to fund the production of its clothing line and establish an online store. The funding will support the entire production process, enhance inventory, increase advertising, and expand the product range to include jeans and coats, which will require unique labeling and leather patches.
The five-year business plan includes launching a physical store, an e-commerce platform, and pop-up shops to boost brand visibility. The plan also outlines a strategy for managing in-house shipping, warehousing, and branding while aiming to have all clothing produced in-house and gaining entry into department stores.
The reason for requesting funding emphasizes a strong execution plan, set deadlines, and a commitment to overcoming initial challenges in the clothing industry. The founder expresses a determination to transform Type Rare into an internationally recognized brand.
In terms of competition, the founder highlights the dynamic nature of the fashion industry, indicating that all clothing lines compete in this space. However, Type Rare aims to stand out by delivering a unique brand identity. The brand's competitive edge lies in its personal backstory, emphasizing the founder's experience with body diversity and the challenge of finding fitting clothing, which directly informs the brand's mission to cater to others facing similar issues.

Self Identified Competition
Me personally I wouldn’t sum it up to top 3 because as we all know the fashion industry is forever evolving so ALL clothing lines are my competition and it’s my responsibility to stand out from the rest make Type Rare Clothing not only just some clothing line but a brand. My back story. The name Type Rare clothing originated from me myself not being able to fit certain brands due to my body TYPE and how RARE it is. Some things would fit in medium, some in large, some in XL etc and with so many people out there with this same issue it’s my goal to cater to their needs.
