KLOTH STUDIO Amal opened in August of 2020, amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. In preparation for the opening, Kloth Studio was challenged with sourcing products and completing the sampling process with little client contact, in a tight timeline and with a strained supply chain. Sourcing the right fabric for the skirt was a challenge during the pandemic. We managed to find a specialty fabric that match Amal’s brand Pantone colour. As well, were able to find the right fit within two rounds of sampling, over a 7-day period.
