Drover challenges background

The Challenge

What stood in the way of Drover's bold vision?

No Clear Guidance

No clear guidance or structure for scaling from idea to final product.

Vendor Inflexibility

Most vendors lacked flexibility for continuous new design drops.

Limited Cultural Understanding

Limited access to teams who understand cultural fashion with a modern edge.

Small Batch Rejection

Traditional manufacturers rejected small batches with many styles.

Fabric Sourcing Issues

Sourcing premium fabrics in small quantities was difficult and time-consuming.

High MOQ Barriers

High MOQs (Minimum Order Quantities) didn't suit the exclusivity model.

Communication Gaps

Communication gaps between designers, tailors, and vendors caused frequent delays.

Quality Inconsistency

Sample quality often didn't align with bulk production, affecting consistency.

No Unified Platform

No single platform offered design, sampling, and production under one roof.
