Contrado: Print on Demand

Thank you for your review, and for acknowledging our product range (hand-made! :) ). We will contact you shortly. We would love to work with you on this though we'd like to know which products you have in mind in mind. We have already updated several products to much more realistic previews, for example the Men's Leather Wallet https://www.contrado.co.uk/custom-wallets. First things first, we'd like to understand which products are on your priority list. Let's work together on this!

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. Do take the time to get to know us. We are actually not overpriced - unless you are looking for fast fashion items which won't last for a long time and contribute to the ecological issues we are all painfully aware of nowadays. I wrote what follows for another similar feedback but I think it applies in this case too: we produce high-end products you can add to your product range and your online Boutique. Please note that all our products are not only printed all over on the fabrics first (either via pigment or sublimation or reactive which you might know is both a lengthy and expensive process) and they are also hand-made within our own factory. We do not subcontact. At all. We work with actual artisans in love with what they do and deserve that recognition. We also support all costs ourselves as well. Looking at the clothing range on your website, I could only find items with small prints on little squares or circles on your products. This is not what we do and we made it clear on our Shopify app listing as well. All our items are hand-made, with extra options as far as your own printed colour brand logo on a label printed individually and stitched onto your product. All printed on demand which in itself is costly. I can see you had the app for 28 days but I think that to know us and make an actual objective judgment, I would strongly suggest to purchase some sample products first, and speak with us. Once you try us and stick with us, you won't go back (though I agree we can all improve). As i mentioned to the other person, I would love for you to reach out to me directly gwenn[at]contrado.com. Please do. We might get somewhere, we might get nowhere but at least I hope I can make you see why our prices are what they are and make you want to actually start sampling with us. And propose a different offering to your customers as well. Because we do actual Quality that is meant to last. And this is both ethical and sustainable. An example: why don't you offer our amazing recyclable tshirts for example https://www.contrado.com/recycling. Though we obviously have a lot more hand-made products like our leather bags, or real silk dresses etc. I do not know your customer base enough but I am happy to hear you out and see what we can do to work together if you give us a chance. Thank you.

Thank you for your review. I hope you will give us a chance to work with you and show you why you should work with us if you want amazing high-end products added to your product range and your online Boutique. All our products are not only printed all over on the fabrics first (either via pigment or sublimation or reactive which you might know is both a lengthy and expensive process) but they are also hand-made within our own factory. We do not subcontact. At all. We work with actual artisans in love with what they do and deserve that recognition. We also support all costs outselves as well. It is great though that you want to try other printing methods (vs screen printing which might not last forever and only allows you to print on little squares or circles on your products). Even tea towels are hand-made, with extra options available with several additionnal wavy colour edges we stitch. And did I mention your own printed brand logo on a label, and that goes without saying we offer an actual amazing 228gsm cotton linen printed on demand (which in itself is costly). I think that to know us, it takes more than just spending 23 minutes installing our app and then making a judgment without actually speaking with us or purchasing some sample products first. Once you try us and stick with us, you won't go back. Are we perfect? No, nobody is though we keep working at improving everywhere we can. I would love for you to reach out to me directly gwenn[at]contrado.com. Please do. We might get somewhere, we might get nowhere but at least I hope I can make you see why our prices are what they are and make you want to actually start sampling with us. Because we do actual Quality that is meant to last. And this is both ethical and sustainable. Last point, I can see you offer mostly tshirts on your website, then why don't you offer our amazing recyclable tshirts? https://www.contrado.com/recycling. Take the time to try us. We are worth it.
